I took a large amount of time off after finishing the Master Cleanse Detox Diet Plan because I didn't want to be overly biased by what I just went through. So, now with a level head I feel the Master Cleanse Detox Plan is good and bad but first I have to comment on the detox element. There are many ways to detox your body and each will be beneficial for certain parts of your body. Master Cleanse is good at detoxing your colon and stomach. Many people should work on helping their liver, there are various methods I believe dandlion is good for that. For your skin I have heard it is beneficial to take more baths and baths with epsom salts. Many toxins are stored in your fat cells and therefore losing weight is beneficial for that. Don't eat highly processed foods, artificial flavors, artificial colors, etc to start with. Last deodorants are starting to contain more and more aluminum, use a deodorant with low aluminum.
How healthy is this plan?
It is beneficial to lose that extra weight but any diet that is missing multiple food groups can not be very healthy. The ingredients are cayenne pepper, lemons, maple syrup. You lose out on dairy, breads, meats etc. So many people see extremely skinny people and see that as being healthy - it's not but also being 300lbs and not very muscular is unhealthy also.
I would not recommend this plan as a diet plan. I do recommend this as a detox plan but only for 10 days, after that I don't believe the detoxing benefits warrant the continuing of the plan.
Ease of Use 3 out of 10 due to the fact it is difficult to get by not having any solid food.
Effectiveness 8 out of 10 because you do lose weight and detox your colon effectively
Healthiness 3 out of 10 due to the fact this is one of the most unhealthy diets I have ever tried.
Overall Rating of 4 out of 10 eventhough this is effective it is just to unhealthy and was the most difficult diet plans I have every tried.

On days 8, 9, & 10 I couldn't drink the lemonade mixture much and as a result I was extremely tired and hungry. I seemed to dislike the cayenne pepper more and more every day. When I was awake I did feel somewhat good, in that I felt good because losing all that weight in ten days makes you feel pretty good. I also feel almost superhuman knowing that this is possible. I didn't think I would be able to survive.
On the last day I ate some food and it took about two hours and I was feeling much better. I should not have made my first meal Taco Bell but I was craving it for the last week.

Well the last two days were the most difficult. I feel starved and have no energy. I can't stand the lemonade mixture anymore. It is amazing that it is possible to go 7 days without food.

Well the last two days have been tough. I am completely sick of the cayenne pepper. I have no energy and I am having troubles even drinking the right amount of water and lemonade, syrup, cayenne pepper mix. Partially because of the pepper and partially because the taste of the lemonade. I am forcing myself to drink it just to have some energy to function.
It is hard to believe I have gone 5 days without food. It is kind of liberating knowing that this is possible, that peoples bodies can endure such a low amount of caloric intake. It makes you wonder about all the times that you think you need to eat to stay alive. Your body can handle so little. It is amazing how many food commercials are on TV. I have cut back on watching TV but I still need to prepare meals for my children which is difficult once you smell the food.

On the Master Cleanse Detox plan you are supposed to take it easy. The reason of course is that you are not taking in much for calories and you don't feel like doing much. I had plans already though to go water skiing and really overexerted myself. At the time I was not hungry and once I got going felt like I had a lot of energy but at night I had major cravings and was starving. I fell asleep from 6:30pm - 7:30pm and woke up drank a bit and fell asleep for the night.
