However, for the last week I've been considering doing a Master Cleanse to jump start the new diet I'm (hopefully) going to be starting and sticking to for the next several months before law school. For those who aren't aware, a MC is where you drink this concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water, and nothing else, for several days (anywhere from 10 to 40, apparently). It was designed and published in 1964, but made popular by Beyonce, who said that was how she lost so much weight so quickly for her role in Dreamgirls.
The problem is, to me it feels like anorexia. Of course you're going to lose a pound a day -- you're not eating anything! But, if I look at it as a 10 day fast (I love food way too much to do a full 40 days), I think it's doable. And then I can do a week or two week raw food diet to totally clean out the junk in my system before I start gung-ho on my new healthy lifestyle.
My healthy lifestyle will involve a one-month bootcamp with my sister that I purchased a while back (before I became a victim of the economy), and I think I should do the fast and then get back to real food before I do the bootcamp, because no way will I be able to exercise if my only energy is coming from maple syrup.
Has anyone tried this Master Cleanse with good results? I've seen a lot of videos with positive results on youtube, so I figure it can't hurt to try.
