Beyonce's Master Cleanse?

Hmm, I'm going to venture a guess that anything that comes out of OK Magazine is not likely to be competely truthful. Because she was losing weight for a movie, she would have had more than 2 weeks to lose 20 lbs, and because she had to keep it off for the duration of filming, she would have had to do it in a more healthful way than that. I'd imagine that after 2 weeks of drinking that concoction, anything that passed your lips would be immediately put into 'storage' by your body, just in case it encountered such a famine again.

Besides, each of those drinks has about 130 calories. If I were dieting, I'm going to doubt that consuming empty sugars would be helpful. You'd be better off with egg whites and lettuce!

my coworker is doing this right now and she drinks this junk everytime she feels hungry. She also chugs like 32 oz. of saltwater each morning with it (make sure you are by a restroom for the first hour afterwards). It is all she is eating/drinking for 10 days. I'm willing to bet whatever she manages to lose she is going to gain right back on friday when she starts eating again. It is not a very appealing diet to me.

Um, maybe I'm just being dumb, but the saltwater thing seems especially creepy to me. I had a colonoscopy (hot!) a while ago, and I basically had to drink very concentrated salt water the day before. I spent the entire night in the bathroom. I know that's not the most glamorous anecdote I could tell you from my life, but I guess I just wanted to say that anyone doing that should proceed with caution!

thanks Jahni- i was just going to do a search for this.

tati i was planning on doing this as what it is intended to be- a cleanse- not a diet. alliegurl posted about trying it as a diet and as what the others said above- the weight just comes back.
