It's just suppose to improve your health and a lot of people use it to gain weight as you introduce healthier foods back into your diet (I use that word in the original sense) and that's why it doesn't work for weight loss. You should look up the book because it explains some of the problems you have with the diet. Ie, it uses grade B maple syrup (not a specific brand) and the seasalt flush and tea takes care of the other problems. =D I've never done it, but I know a lot of people who swear it cured them of everything from headaches to hairloss. yea, the Master Cleanse (the official name) is not suppose to be used for weight loss.

Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see the end of them as there will always be folks looking for easy solutions. Personally I'll pass... at least until they invent the Cupcake diet.

He reports that his motives are not weight loss related but more to purge his system of 'toxins' and finally achieve the bliss of something he's referring to as an 'epiphany poo'. Amazing the things we'll put ourselves through in the name of weight loss, isn't it? Though I confess that I've often thought that a short stint as host to a tapeworm (not purposely ingested, of course) wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...

The high school where I used to teach actually hosted a professor who touted tapeworms as the key to health and happiness. Scout's honor, ma'am.
