I am always curious about the people who do the Master-Cleanse solely to lose weight and have no interest at all in the cleansing benefits because we don't usually hear back from them after the first day or two. My personal opinion is that the Master-Cleanse is just too hard to do for the sole purpose of losing weight and people just quit. There are other ways, including negative calorie diets like the cabbage soup diet, that take pounds off quickly, so why subject yourself to the torture that is the first few days of the Master-Cleanse (for most people, anyway) if you don't care about detoxing? I'm not saying don't do it - I just trying to understand why anyone would *want* to do something that is specifically for cleansing (albeit with a side effect of weight loss) when they don't care about cleansing?
