After being on the Master-Cleanse for 14 days and loosing 20 lbs, my unsupportive boyfriend twisted my arm to get off the cleanse. I did exactly what the book says to do for the cleanse as well as after. Then, because I had another 10 lbs I wanted to loose I found The Fat Flush Plan. (Another cleansing diet) I followed it exactly, expecting to loose the last 10lbs. That didn't happen, but I did loose inches. My butt is smaller now than it was when I was in Jr. High and weighed 100 lbs. I am 49 and weigh 126 lbs. The Fat Flush Plan (FFP) is the healthiest I have ever eaten, and I've eaten pretty well over the years. As much as I love the Master-Cleanse for simplicity, I hated FFP for all the trips to the health food store and cooking all the time. But I learned a lot, and did well on the FFP for a month. Because I never lost the 10 lbs I'm back on MC. The heck with my boyfriend, I really would like to be 120 lbs!
