Not drinking the recomended amount means you're getting very little calories and that will put the body in starvation mode and slow the metabolism down even more.

You will loose weight on the MC. How much depends on many factors. When you fast it gives your digestive system a break and the body will try to repair itself and use the extra energy to do what it needs to do the most >>first<<.

Now that being said I will tell you that the Master-Cleanse is NOT a weight loss diet "primarily". It is a as the name implies a "Cleanse" and it's primary function is to heal. The Master-Cleanse or any other "fasts" are not a good way to loose weight unless you are committed to long term maintenance afterwards because when you fast your metabolism slows down considerably and if you don't follow up with a good solid healthy Diet and REGULAR exercise afterwards you'll very likely gain most if not all and possibly more than you lost on the fast.

It just isn't a diet, its a tool to make a correct diet more efficient. Try to look at this as a cleanse, not a weight loss plan. When it is over you can enjoy the benefits of a healthier body while you lose weight safely and effectively.
