I am going to try the Lemonade Diet
Okay, before anyone jumps to any conconclusions, I would like to say I have thought about this long and hard and decided it would be the best thing for me right now. I have lost 38 pounds since joining this site in January through exercising and eating right. I am now at the point where I want to enjoy my weightloss and find a balance with the maintaining.
Every month my weight fluctuates it goes up during a certain time of the month and then back down again, but the amount of pounds I fluctuate has gone up from about 5 pounds to about 8. That puts me very close to 140 and also makes my clothes really not fit too well. Also, I went out last week and bought a bunch of size 5 clothes and happily they buttoned easily but, I did not realize that with these fluctuations during the month they get too tight in the back below my butt. So either I am going to bring them back and trade them for size 7s or do this diet. Oh, and the other reason is when I was exercising 6 days a week for several months after awhile my skin broke out really bad and I am still recooperating from that so I really do not want to vigourously exercise right now. Therefore this diet seems most appropriate. It also claims to help clear up the skin.
As long as it is followed correctly it appears quite healthy and is better then straight up fasting. Energy is said to increase. My plan is to follow it to the tee and even drink the salt water flush in the mornings (yuck). I will be hoping to stay on it for 10 days. Tonight I started with the laxative tea.
I will keep everyone posted. One is expected to lose 2 pounds a day but that is not the goal of this cleanse it is to get rid of all the toxins in your body and cleanse it.
Wish me luck!

in short the master cleanse will cause:
a build of toxins (not eliminate)
cause you to get proportionally fatter
shut down your metabolism
set you up for yo- yo dieting.
be careful and good luck
best Dr Marc
Thank you for your advice, Dr. Marc. I will read your post and take it into consideration. I have thought about metabolism and mine has sped up since incorporating all the exercise into it so that was a concern I had about the lemonade diet, but many people say they have kept the weight off afterwards… At this point I still plan on trying it out, but I may change my mind after I read your post… I’ll have to see…
Hi Michelle,
First of all CONGRATS on losing 38 lbs, that is fantastic! I’m very proud of you & you’re my inspiration girlie… Keep up the good work. I just wanted to add that I read an article on the Internet, it said that most people’s weight will fluctuate from 5 to 10 lbs. What I recommend to you is continue to eat healthy foods, remember NO CARB foods ( that’s the rule). Eat within the calorie intake for your age & weight so you can maintain the weight you are now. Many people who loss the weight & then get comfortable & start to eat CARBS, that’s when the weight starts to pack back on. I’m not sure if your eating carbs or not… but stay away from it and you’ll be okay. Try to find a different kind of exercise to do that won’t make you sweat so much ( I know that’s almost impossible to do LOL) Good luck to you sweetie!
