The Master Cleanse And Weight Loss

Many people using the Master Cleanse to lose weight are doing it wrong, and it could backfire and cause them to gain weight.

The main purpose of the Master Cleanse is to "cleanse" your body. The weight you lose during the Master Cleanse should really be thought of as a side benefit, and as you're about to learn the real weight loss benefits happen after you finish the Master Cleanse.

It's common to see a very large amount of weight come off when you follow the 10-day Master Cleanse program. This makes some people decide to stay on the Master Cleanse for an extended period of time. They assume the rapid weight loss will continue for as long as they stay on the Master Cleanse. It won't.

A lot of weight you lose on the Master Cleanse is water and waste materials that have been flushed out of the body. Yes, you will lose some fat but it's only going to be about 2 or 3 pounds over the 10 days you're on the Master Cleanse. Staying too long on the Master Cleanse (or any restrictive diet) can also cause your metabolism to slow which means when you go back to your normal diet you'll gain weight more easily.

If you're reading this and thinking about using the Master Cleanse to lose weight don't be discouraged by this. The waste that you cleanse from your body can amount to more then 10 pounds in some cases, which will make a noticeable difference. After all it's 10 pounds of mass you're no longer carrying around with you.

The secret behind losing weight with the Master Cleanse that know one is talking about...

Where the Master Cleanse really shines when it comes to losing weight is unlike other diets the Master Cleanse breaks unhealthy eating habits, and it does it in just 10 days.

It's hard to explain how, or why it happens but one thing you hear from people who complete the Master Cleanse is that they no longer desire the unhealthy foods they used to crave before they did the cleanse. Hard core fast food addicts who's mouths would water at the thought of a value meal will find themselves repulsed at just the smell of fast food.

Sugar junkies, after doing a Master Cleanse say they can't stand the taste of sugar filled foods after doing the Master Cleanse.

It's been said that doing the Master Cleanse restores your body to a natural state of health, and that you'll naturally desire only healthy foods. Another interesting thing is that people have been able to break other bad habits unrelated to eating, such as smoking, by doing the Master Cleanse.

When you are no longer addicted to unhealthy foods after the Master Cleanse you will find long term weight loss becomes effortless. And because your body is cleanse and running at peak efficiency your metabolism, which is typically slow in people with weight problems, will be burning calories at a much higher rate then you've ever experienced.

That's the real reason the Master Cleanse is so effective at helping people lose weight.
