Our thoughts on the "Master Cleanser"

We have had several inquiries of late with regards to a detox entitled "The Master Cleanser." It was a diet created by a nutritionist in the 1940's and made popular in a 1970's book. This "diet" is a fast that requires subsisting for 10 or more days solely on an elixir of fresh-squeezed lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. By following this, one is consuming about 650 calories per day, far less than what is needed to sustain a normal human being's energy output.

We do not support The Master Cleanser. It happens to be in vogue because several popular public figures have done it and lost weight. However, anyone will lose weight when you starve yourself!

Be very careful when choosing any kind of detox or fast.
