"when to use it:
When a sickness has developed-for all acute and chronic conditions. when the digestive system needs a rest and cleansing. when overweight has become a problem. when better assimilation and building of body tissue is needed"
you will lose weight on it. from what i gather people gain back at least 10 pounds. but that is all food and water weight.
just like any diet if when you are not on it you will gain weight if you return to the habits that got you fat in the first place.
if you pick up the book burroughs recommends how to eat after the cleanse. there are also a couple recipes in there.
