I agree, Hally. Re: Needing some advice, plz anyone!
Melanie,
I agree with Hally, 100%! Too much, too much, too much. I've never done the MC, but I've studied it...and I'm pretty sure you can't do P&B with the MC, nor would you want to. Many folks have incredibe releases of bowel build-up and ropes of mucoid plaque while on the MC, so adding more bowel cleansing to it, would just be too much.
You WILL lose weight with virtually any bowel cleansing regimine, because you're probably carrying around
pounds of fecal matter. You WILL lose weight on the Master Cleanse, but I've read most people regain a small percentage of it. You WILL lose weight on a juice fast, too.
If you adjust your diet to mostly raw, with limited meat & dairy, your body will start coming into line with it's natural size. If you have serious issues with weight loss, and you've dieted strictly, sanely, and healthily (with ample exercise) and had poor results (weight loss of less than 1-2
pounds weekly), then it's possible you have some liver issues (as the liver processes all fat)...or your Omega 6/Omega 3 level is out of balance. Most people need more Omega 3 (fish oil). It's also possible if you've been low-fat dieting harshly, that your body is hoarding fat...our bodies NEED fat, and without it coming in, our bodies will hang on to what is there!
It sounds like you're off to a great start...just keep researching and learning with enthusiasm, and before long you'll be energetic, healthy, and advising everbody else!
Here's a great place to read & learn:
