With Master Cleanse, clarity gained — with a twist

To do this diet or not?  Click here for article.  Moo did this and could only last four days and it was painful/disgusting to watch her go through it.  However, I will no longer be living with the rents and no longer be tempted with all sorts of goodies that lurk in the pantry and fridge.  So maybe I should try this out?  Hmmm, if all else fails then I have a bunch of lemons for a vodka soda!

The Master Cleanse shouldn’t really be considered a diet.  It’s almost like a detox, and a nasty one at that.  The worst part:  You’re likely going to gain most of that weight back within a few months, especially if your eating habits stay the same.  And I’ve seen people shed 10-15 lbs. after doing it for a week or so, but they don’t look good at all when it’s done.  Overall, the Master Cleanse shouldn’t be used as a weight loss trick, but more a “purifying your body through fire” method.  If you’re in good health and can take torturing your body for a week, then do it.  Otherwise, the ol’ D&E is still supreme.

Everyone thinks the Master Cleanse is such a great idea, but ask any doctor and they’ll tell you it’s horrible for your body. It deprives you of things your brain needs to function and your body needs to survive, like A and D vitamins, iron, niacin, potassium - I could go on. If you insist on doing this, AT LEAST take a multivitamin daily.

I had a friend in college that did the Master Cleanse and ended up in the hospital with seizures due to lack of nutrients to his brain. This new age Hollywood stuff is approaching ridiculous - take care of your body, eat right, exercise. There are no shortcuts.

I’ve gotten spoiled by tumblr’s little “go to top of the page” button. I’ve started looking for it on other websites.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about go enable the endless dashboard feature.

Here’s a tip - that button exists on every web page on the internet. It’s called the “Home” button, and it’s right there on your keyboard, between “Insert” and “Page Up”. Try it out, it works in almost any application too. If it just takes you to the beginning of a line instead, add “Ctrl” - that’ll send you all the way to the top.
