Has anyone heard about the master cleanse/lemonade diet? is it harmful or helpful? why?

Answer:
yes. it's been around for a long time. i don't think it's dangerous as long as you don't do it for more than a few days at a time. while doing it, your body will not be getting all the nutrients it needs. i have heard that you lose weight on it though. but its essentially a starvation diet, so of course you would.

I haven't heard of it but it sounds like yet another fad diet. "Fad" diets may give you results, and they may even be quick results, but the weight loss never lasts. It's like any liquid diet, or even Atkins (no carbs). You can not completely eliminate one thing from your diet and expect to get lasting results. The best way to lose weight is through healthy diet and exercise. That's it. There's no magic pill, drink, or "too good to be true" diet that will be effective in the long run.
