there are several master cleanse forums that can give you allot of support. allot of great info. there.
saying that it is a "fact" that fasts/cleanses are not good for you is the most ridiculous thing iv ever heard before in my life. fasting allows your body to heal its self as it is meant to do by nature. every animal on the planet will fast when illness strikes, what makes us so much different? nothing.
fasting extends life, doctors kill people, case closed.
Pickles I completly agree with you with what you are saying. I also think that kara cooks and the others have a point as well. And even though... they are right. People are still going to do what they can do to lose weight no matter what. The information is great about the studdies and that its bad to fast or clense. I just think that people should lighten up. Some people dont know that those types of fad diets are bad and like a lot of us they are desperate to lose weight no matter what. And posting the risks and information are great because those people that dont know can then make an informed decision. But I also assume that a lot of us out there do know that it might not be the best thing or all the reasons why not to start a fad diet or fast or clense but we still choose to do it anyway. I really feel that this is one of those topics where everyone will not agree on. PICKLES I just wanted you to know that I am with you. It just feels sometimes like the poeple like us that maybe go about things a different way "wrong way" always get crucified here. Even though they are just trying to inform us of the healthy way to do things. I have tried the clense and even though i did lose weight about 30 lbs I will not do it again because i found it was not for me. Pickles i just wanted you to know that there are people that agree with you. but you know how some people are afraid of posting to not get yelled at.
P.S Sorry about all the grammar mistakes just incase the Grammar Nazis are reading this right now.
People who go about saying unhealthy and even dangerous methods of weight loss are ok, are probably going to get crucified here, I agree.
Being "desperate" doesn't mean it's a good idea to starve your body. And anyone here who cares about helping people REALLY lose weight and doing so healthily and sustainably is not going to stand by and listen to "it's ok to do a Master Cleanse" without stepping in.
Kara I am trying to be indifferent here. That’s why the information you bring to the table is very much appreciated. What I have read of your posts seems that you are very informative. I see that you are a great asset to the community. Not that my opinion matters but that instead of quoting other people and like you confirmed crucifying them. State how you feel along with the facts. Obviously the information and your opinion are very important and by what I’ve read most people agree with you. There are other people that feel differently. I don’t think most people will argue the fact that the master cleanse is the wrong way to go not to mention very unhealthy. The point is that people are still going to do it. It just seems that no matter how much in my post I agree with you and support the fact that you state the facts and genuinely seem like you care for the wellbeing of this community. It still feels that you won’t acknowledge the good and will try to find something you disagree with what I posted. My comment to pickles what just that a comment to let her know that I see where she is coming from in a non threatening way. It just seems that when you post a response it’s almost if I can see you sitting there at your computer and steam actually rising from your head. Please I’m begging don’t find anything wrong with my post and come-on say something positive. For example wow its good to see that people do understand that this fad diet is unhealthy. Or you know what it seems that we just might agree to disagree. This post is intended to be taken very lightly. This next comment is intended for everyone. “Be happy” Smile more often and remember life is too short. And most important remember to help out your fellow man. Oh yeah and be nice to animals. I’m an animal lover btw. My two dogs Sonny and Cher.
And kara congrats on the over seventy pound weight loss. you are an inspiration and looked up to in this forum. Sounds corny and rather fake but its intended to be taken genuinely. Keep up with the great work.
