Today wraps up day 30 of a master cleanse. I dropped a total of 29.1 lbs, and plan to go another day (or maybe two).
Over the past year or so, I’ve been way too sedentary. More so than usual. I’d sit in front of the computer at work all day, come home, and sit in front of the computer all night working on a side job. I wouldn’t say I was obese (altho my Wii Fit would disagree), but I was definitely as heavy as I’d ever been, and I wasn’t happy about it.
I know the first thing most people are going to say is, “Yeah, 30lbs in 30 days… that sounds healthy”. I’m certainly not a doctor, and I’m not going to say whether or not it’s healthy long term. But the facts of the matter are these… There are a number of people (search Google for “master cleanse”) who do this annually (as an aside, this is my 3rd time, altho I’ve never done it this long before). Nobody advocates this as a diet for life. It’s common sense. You lose weight because you stop eating (more on the specifics later). When you’re done with the cleanse, if you go back to your old habits, you’re going to gain it all back. No questions asked, end of story.
