text: who has tried the master cleanse/lemonade diet and does it really make you feel as good as they claim? and did you lose weight? if so, how much? i tried it and i did feel great.  it completely got rid of my appetite.  the only thing is that i put in more maple syrup than was in the recipe and that is the reason that after twelve days i only lost 2 pounds.  but i did not do it to lose weight.  i did it for the cleansing value.  it was remarkable that i never felt edgy or out of sorts. whenever i was feeling a little hungry i drank another glass.  it really felt good and since it was the first time that i have ever fasted in all of my 50 years i think that i was a great experience which i will continue to do on a quarterly basis.  if i ever want to skip a meal it is very effective and does not cause any negative side effects that i experienced.  try it you'll like it. i did.
