Why the Master Cleanse Won’t End Your Weight Loss Battle (4397 hits)
The "Master Cleanse" is a liquid-based dieting program that has experienced widespread popularity for decades. Not surprisingly so, as it typically results in dramatic amounts of weight loss in a relatively short period of time. Also known as the "Lemonade Diet", this program was originally designed to last for 10 days but folks are known to carry it out for as little as three to as much as 40 days at a time.
Beyoncé Knowles is to thank for all the recent hoopla surrounding the Master Cleanse, as she admittingly swallowed the lemonade in an effort to lose 20 pounds in two weeks for her role in the 2006 movie Dreamgirls. Interestingly enough, in a less aired aftermath, Beyoncé gained all the weight back (and then some) almost immediately after coming off the diet.
