Hi all! Over the last three years, I had gained about 60 pounds. I did the Atkins diet, found some success, but I wanted something more drastic. So I found the Master Cleanse. Last September I completed a 30 day Master Cleanse detox, and lost 20 pounds while on it. I will be honest, it was a TRYING experience. I had an addiction to sweets, and I am a foodie. I LOVE TO COOK. My sense of smell, particularly to food, definitely went through the roof. It was punishment lol. I would sit and watch the Food Network and fantasize about the meals. I found myself heading in the opposite direction when it was time for dinner, so I wouldn't be tempted by the smell. Overall, it was a journey. After the Master Cleanse, I had maintained the weight loss, after only regaining 6 pounds of water weight
. Post cleanse, I continued on to lose another 28 pounds, through diet and lots of exercise. However, my addiction to sweats and carbs was virtually eliminated. My skin cleared up. I felt great! I had started another cleanse, hoping to ride this one out throughout the last of my weight loss journey. For anyone who is just starting their cleanse, I definitely say go for it. It is soooooooooo worth it, you owe it to yourself! It is hard, but you have everyone on this forum, and people on YouTube that provide plenty of support. You can do it, from one H
A P P Y Master Cleanser to another 
. Sometimes when I get cravings during the cleanse, I will take some organic chicken broth, lemon juice, and some pepper and warm water, (uh yea, I like lemon chicken lol), and pretend I am eating soup. The warm liquid normally fills me up so much that I forget about the food. You might find a way to distract yourself. You can also:
