I know that the MC is a CLEANSE and not to be used primarily for weight loss, but am curious since the book says that it is a weight reducing diet as well......
Are any of you overweight, or were overweight and did you lose weight during the MC? HOW much? and How soon? After completing the MC did you see dramatic results as far as weight loss goes?? Did others notice and comment on it?????
When I was first introduced to the MC I was told of a friend that had lost 50 pnds and how skin conditions had cleared up because of it....
Please share your stories!
Thanks!
I am on day 8 of the MC and I have lost about 10 pounds. I currently have about 20 more to lose, for a total of 30 pounds overweight. The diet is not easy and you do crave food on it but, the lemonade does help with you not being hungry. The saltwater flush is disgusting but, truly needed for this, I usually did mine at night since I work during the day and cannot get up early enough for that kind of elimination. The lax teas are good tasting, I used "smooth move" which you can find in any natural food store, this works well. I am hoping to continue and maybe even go longer on this since I am not hungry at all. Good luck to you!
Thank you for sharing! I did end up purchasing the smooth move(what a name) which was much easier to get down than the swf. I tried the swf this morn and could only get about 1/4 of it down....Will force myself in the morn.
Have you tried exercising while on the mC? I am just afraid to get outside walking in the neighborhood and have to go and be a mile from the bathroom.....
I try to exersice in the house doing some sit-ups and using weights some, also some squats and leg lifts, but only in the house because of course if something kicks in, I want to be prepared. Usually the SWF effects dies off in about 2 hours and then it is safe to walk, but I would do my walking before the SWF, you never know. I am on day 10 and feeling like I can go further so I will see how far I can go. Good Luck!

I am so glad to hear that you are not hungry...so far it has been difficult for me, Food is calling out to me! All food ..even stupid things.....I want to eat anything and everything! I am sure that it isn't all from real hunger though....just part of the reason I am overweight in the first place! I am hoping that this experience will help me gain some self mastery over my body and self discipline which I have been lacking. As far as weight loss goes, I am currently about 200 lbs right now and am 5'7". My best weight was when I weighed 120-130lbs but I know that isn't a realistic weight for me after having 3 kids! So maybe 140 or 150 would be good. Not too many people want to discuss the weight loss aspect of the MC always stating that this is a cleanse and not for weight loss....I am aware of that and am doing it for the cleanse aspect of it but being overweight (unhealthy) is part of the reason why I need the cleanse..Being overweight is the result of having and unhealthy toxic body....
I hope to gain many things from this experience weight loss is just one small part of it.

I can't see how anyone who does not eat a thing for 10 or more can't possibly lose weight! I lost so far about 15 pounds and I am not overweight, I can stand to lose about 30 pounds so this is a joy for me. You will definately lose weight on this don't you worry about a thing!
Yeah, I lost 6 pounds in 5 days. From 150 to 144 lbs.
I have to quit now (day 5)because I feel to weak to carry on. So I start on the orange juice today. It has been amazing that I never felt much hunger; I thought I would be starving. Just the occasional headache.
My partner is still going on. Mainly because it REALLY seems to start working i.e. the muscus is coming loose.
