I am a 42 year old female, 5'10", and have battled food addiction/overweight my whole life. I'm an attorney as well.
I have gone on the Master-Cleanse three times, ten days each time. I've lost about 35 lbs (from my original high weight of 225). Although I was never thin (except for one period in my early 30's when I weighed around 130 lbs), I've NEVER been this fat (over 200 lbs) until the last few years when my eating and my sedentary lifestyle got out of control. I eat vegan most of the time (some dairy products when I go out and nothing else is available) but I tend to eat a lot of junk food.
I plan to do the Master-Cleanse every three months until my weight stabilizes (around 150 lbs, I think). I want to go for 20 days next time, in June.
