Master Cleanse

I tried the Master Cleanse with my daughters a couple of years ago.  That’s the lemonade cleanse, for those not familiar with it.  That turned out to be a REALLY bad idea.  It broke my metabolism, and I started gaining lots and lots of weight like crazy beyond what my caloric intake would justify.  Nothing would stop it.  All I could do was watch while the pounds piled back on.  I think the Master Cleanse may have messed up the flora in my intestine.  Lately, my weight has stabilized some.  I consider the Master Cleanse to be a dangerous diet.
