I started my Master Cleanse on Feb. 7, 2014, for cleansing and for weight loss. I have 40lbs to lose. I lost 8lbs the first week. Since then, or for 6 days, I have not lost a pound, which is very frustrating!!!! I studied this extensively beforehand and most of the people on the Master-Cleanse have been losing 1-2 lbs per day. In fact, numerous people report losing 40lbs in one month. Also, I have a medical background and the starvation mode idea is a myth according to some researchers. They state that your metabolism is your metabolism and that you can burn more calories, or course, with exercise but that the exercise does not affect your metabolism. Mine is sluggish and has always been that way regardless of what I do. It is just pure genetics. That being said, I would really like help if anyone has any for losing weight. I know that the four pillars are diet, exercise, getting enough sleep, and drinking plenty of water. I have done them all without results. It seems that I have to literally starve and still do not lose weight and then exercise my butt off. Anyone have any great suggestions that I may be overlooking. Thanks in advance!!!
