Does anyone have any comments they would like to share about their long term results with the Master Cleanse?
I first tried this about three years ago. I was 44 at the time, was on for 10 days, lost 10 pounds, kept eating 90% veg. raw diet after the MC. Not long after, I gained the 10 pounds back. And then gained another 10, ending up at 175 pounds. (I'm 5'10").
It seems like being in the peri-menopausal stage, I made a huge error with not working out while I was on the MC. Over the last couple of years, my weight has continued to creep up (to 190), and didn't stop until I joined a gym three months ago. It seems like my metabolism has taken a big 'hit', and I wonder if it's because of the Lemonade fast. In the 13 years prior to MC, I had maintained a very consistent weight. Since the MC, I'm up two dress sizes. Coincidence maybe?
So, the bottom line, is that I would like to try the Master-Cleanse again, but my fear is that it will slow my metabolism even more.
Have any of you had long term success with being on the Master-Cleanse and continuing to do either weight training or aerobic exercises?
Thanks for your feedback!

This is a reply to # 254,637I wouldn't blame the MC. The weight gain and then some is usually for those that go back to eating NORMAL!
I am menopausal NOW and I know my metabolism is at a STAND STILL... I passed slow a long time ago!
I cannot work out do to injuries, which puts me at a big disadvantage with that too.
I had to work out all my life from 18 to 49 years old, just to maintain a normal weight. If I went up two dress sizes... I starved myself and worked out three times as hard and lost it again for another few years or more.
Now... I am at a very big disadvantage with the injuries and menopause. However, I do NOT take the hormones that PUT WEIGHT ON YOU...so I AM AWARE OF THIS!
I have resigned myself to do exactly what am doing now... several Lemonades for breakfast and before Lunch... Vegi soup for lunch and another Lemonade or so and several apples and pears throughout the afternoon and eve and an EARLY diner of veggie soup with brown rice. I am adding chicken breasts and fish to my diet this week.
I will never see three meals a day... no matter how healthy they are.
I am now... pre-dispositioned to gain weight and it must be controlled. If the metabolism was so easy to control... someone would be a MILLIONAIRE by now!
Luckily you can still work out, but be careful in thinking you can eat THREE HEALTHY MEALS A DAY and maintain your weight.
If you see the weight creeping back up... cut out something and replace it with a Master-Cleanse Lemonade. I plan on having these even while not on the MC, just to maintain the weight loss. I'm just like Robin Quivers of the Howard Stern Show, she can't eat THREE HEALTHY MEALS a day either and she KNOWS IT!!
Our body is changing and not being KIND to us. It isn't fair that most people (WOMEN) maintain a normal weight all their lives and eat ANYTHING they want ANYTIME they want and NOT gain a pound!
Once your metabolism SCREWS UP... learn to LIVE WITH IT! Just eat Healthy!
You can make up all the excuses in the world on why it happened... but it DID and you need to alter your eating and exercise habits accordingly.
Color me SAD!

This is a reply to # 254,649I know what you mean. I am 71 now. My problem has been following McDougall and thinking I could get away with three big meals a day. I think I will be a lemonade girl. I also use carrot juice, too. I am on Day 1 and I really want to lost close to 20#s.

This is a reply to # 254,649Thanks for your candid feedback. I value everyone's opinions.
I had been on the raw diet for 3 months prior to my first MC, and after breaking back in to eating (by the book), continued a raw diet. So I guess I'll never know for sure if it was the Master-Cleanse or my age that is the culprit for me.
One thing is clear to me from the reading I've been doing.... Exercise is a must for me. I don't want to lose muscle mass, which is what will continue to burn calories after the Master-Cleanse is over. I'm thinking that's a big mistake I made with the first time. (not exercising enough)
It's interesting you mention 3 meals per day. Jorge Cruise recommends eating 6 times a day - smaller meals, and never further apart than 3 hours. He says that's so your body doesn't think it's starving (which then slows down the metabolism). He believes that a person CAN rev their metabolism back up.- Re: I do fruit in between? alienlady

This is a reply to # 254,675The 3 meals a day is a figure or speach.
I have been doing fruit in between and maintaing the 10 pounds I lost on the 17 day MC. So My metabolism will either straighten out ... or not! More than likely NOT!
Either way... I am thrilled that I have maintained the 10 pound loss (of the original 13) by eating healthy and the fruit and Lemonade in between.
