';the master cleanse diet';


AHAHAHAHAHA!





No...





The human body is the result of billions of years of evolution, from single celled creatures in primordial ooze, to our grandparents and parents. How far do you think we would have gotten as a species if our bodies did not know how to rid the body of toxins naturally?





You cleanse/detox by eating right, drinking plenty of water, resting, and exercising. Your body will naturally detox/cleanse itself. You don't have to buy some product designed by some hack that will only result in you losing water weight.





If you are looking for weight loss, detoxing/cleansing is not the way to do it. Such things just make you lose water weight, you don't actually lose any fat (what you want to lose).





To lose fat:


1. DON鈥橳 BELIEVE THOSE FAD DIETS! DIET PILLS ARE GIMMICKS!


2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! Unless you are 4ft tall, a 1,200 calorie a day diet is DANGEROUS and won't work in the long run.


3. Calculate your BMR. Do a google search. A good calculator would ask for your age, height, weight, and activity level.


4. Eat healthy and eat about 500 calories a day less than your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Your BMR is how many calories you need per day to maintain your current weight.


5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This keeps your metabolism up. Each meal should include fruits, veggies, water, and protein.


5. Drink at least 64oz (8 8oz glasses) of water a day. No soda (that includes diet soda).


6. Do light/moderate cardio 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each time. Running, bicycling, and swimming are great for this.


7. Do some strength training to make sure you lose fat and not muscle. Don't worry; you won't look like the hulk if you lift weights.


8. You should lose about 1-2lbs (.45-.9kg) per week. If you lose more than that, chances are the rest is stool, water weight, or even muscle mass.


9. Weigh yourself only once a week at the same time (ie every Friday morning). Your weight fluctuates a lot during any 24hour period because of water and food intake and also bowel movements.


Be patient and be smart. If you follow this guideline you will be very happy with your results.
