here we go again

>>>>i urge everyone who is here for the first time to play the game in the way that burrows instructs. and then later, add what you want and compare, do an empirical study, whatever, but please don't post that you ate something and still lost weight when i have to read it after not eating for 5 days....<<<<

jmc-

As I have written over and over and over, the problem with people who do the Master-Cleanse for weight loss only will often post things like that - "I had a cookie, but I still lost three pounds today, so I feel like I'm doing great." You NEVER hear that from people who are doing the Master-Cleanse for cleansing - although they might fall off and eat something, they KNOW they have fallen off and that they need to get back on the wagon. If you're doing this for weight loss only, it doesn't really matter if you have a cookie. Go ahead - you're still probably taking in 1000 calores less than you would normally, so you'll lose weight. You just won't have accomplished any cleansing.

And, as many others have written since time immemorial (or at least it seems that way when you've been posting here for more than a few days), NOBODY CARES WHY YOU ARE DOING THE MC!!!! Do it for weight loss. Do it to *%#&¤?§* off your mother. Do it to save money. NOBODY GIVES A DA*N!!!!!

It seems like we go through this exercise every three months or so. Someone posts that they are doing this for weight loss only and that they expect to lose "X" number of pounds. Someone else responds that unless eating habits are changed, most if not all of the weight lost on the Master-Cleanse will be regained, and that the MC is primarily for cleansing. Then, a protector of the victims who were deeply hurt by the second post will feel the need to tell everyone that "doing the MC for weight loss is okay, anyone who says anything to the contrary is just a big meanie, etc. etc. etc."

I can almost set my watch on it. :)
