Your body is probably taken care of healing that does involve weight loss. One of our regular posters here went through a kindney healing crisis and didn't loose any weight for several days.

The Master-Cleanse is a "cleanse" it works by giving the digestive system a break so the body can use that energy to heal and cleanse first. While you do loose weight on the Master-Cleanse it is not a weightloss diet primarily. So press on and let the Master-Cleanse works it's mojo. Being overweight is just a manifestation of many possible causes that need to be taken care of. It is not an isolated thing by itself, it is a symptom.

The MC cleanses the system allowing it to function better and assimilate more nutrients from less food. It just isn't a diet, its a tool to make a correct diet more efficient.

I just did a 59 day cleanse, 48 Master-Cleanse and the balance on juices. I had a week long kidney related crisis on day 18 during which I lost no weight at all. However, I know my body was very very busy working on the kidney issue!

I very seldom step on the scales. Three months after I began my cleansing program this summer, I am wearing size 8/10 clothes that are LOOSE... and I was uncomfortable in 18s earlier.

Weight is a minor issue. The WORK your body accomplishes is astounding, whether you lose an ounce or many pounds!!

Best,
Somer

It can depend upon where you are during your monthly cycle.. after this experience with my first Master-Cleanse fast, I would actually start Master-Cleanse the week after my period is finished - women typically gain 3-5 pounds of water weight the week before their periods plus may experience strong food cravings, etc...

I did experience a gain of two pounds the day after I did the salt water flush. It was only temporary and I lost about four by morning.
