Eyes dried..this is more weight loss than usual

On the average the person doing a master cleanse will lose approximately one pound per day of the master cleanse. I cleansed for 20 days and I lost 18 pounds. Original poster had more loss but that is somewhat unusual.
Generally the person losing on Master Cleanse will gain about 1/2 of the weight loss back once they start eating again. That is usual.
I know I "worried" about how odd it would be to lose weight rapidly (and actually my weight loss was behind schedule for most of the cleanse)..However, losing weight while fasting is a lot different than losing weight while eating. Master Cleanse isn't a "fast" per se..it does provide all the nutrients one needs for daily living.
Weight loss is generally thought of as a nice bonus or side effect to the process...but we know that the loss is only temporary if when we return to eating we start gorging ourselves with wrong foods.
The best thing that happened for me is that I stopped drinking caffeinated beverages on The Master Cleanse and I haven't returned to it. I am pretty certain I have regained about 8 pounds also. But Master Cleanse has pointed me into a very good direction..of being mindful of what I am consuming!
I'll be doing another Cleanse at the end of the summer! :)
