I wholeheartedly agree that any reason for "cleansing" is always a good reason. The issue is the desperate dieters that come here looking for the Magic Bullet that doesn't exist just cause they read it in some celebrity rag. All they contribute here is the perpetuation of the dysfunctional "dieting" mentality cause they have absolutely no "understanding" how it works. That the MC is NOT a weight loss diet and that it does not work by the restriction of calories.
On it's own the MC is NOT a Weight Loss diet and without that understanding the same desperate dieters who are looking for the magic bullet will wind up worst off because of the fact that fasting slows down the metabolism and if they go back to their old routines they WILL not only put the weight back on that they lost in a really short time but also put on additional weight creating the same ole vicious dysfunctinal cycle over and over again.
Permanent weight loss requires a LIFESTYLE change that includes the primary focus of ANY weight loss program which is balanced quality nutrition and regular exercise no if and or buts about it. Further if the follow up post fast does not include exercising to bring the metabolism back up it can even make it more difficult to loose weight in the future.
