@73, I agree. Beef is HORRIBLE for your body & so are bleached starches & sugar! Whole wheat pasta is the way to go.

it works i am living proof i actually use the master cleanse every 2 months for 7 days. you must work out lightly or walk 45 minutes daily either or both. i lost a whopping 12 pounds and i use the lighter side of the cleanse every 2 months bc i dont need to loose anymore just maintain my current weight which is 115 pounds i am a shortie standing 5′2 small bones. you have to follow the plan 100% in order for it to work. use only organic lemons,maple syrup and distilled water. drink the hebal teas and herbal laxative called smooth move. and try your best to tolerate the sea salt water flush you have to incorporate along with it. pray and meditate. the effects were amazing. brighter eyes,shinier hair,smoother skin,fresh breath and the weight just melted off. i looked GOOD!!!!!!! trust me it is healthy as long as you follow the plan. my physician has approved it for me. the cayenne pepper added is also a challenge but just use it sparingsly. good luck!!!!!!!!

Otherwise known as the “anorexic diet”. God damn Ashanti girl, fuck what Wendy Williams says you like fine, just lose the weight steadily. This is real sad.

*look

MASTER CLEANSE DIET IS NOT NASTY

IT TASTE LIKE LEMONADE

IN FACT IT IS EVEN KNOWN AS THE LEMONADE DIET

it taste like leomnade just a little spicy because of the pepper. and u can get used to the taste. if u suffer from health problems this is very good i tried it for my anemia.

I’m so amazed at all these profound people…. And, here I was thinking that whole “spiritual/meditation/mental clarity” a line… line as in something used to sell a product lol

lol @ #7

i hate those types of diets. i’m sorry but it sounds like she starved herself. her and bee and those other celebs are crazy.

Fiber, Fiber, Fiber, Fiber people. That’s a great way of cleaning out your ’system’. It’s like a sponge for your insides. The American diet lacks this. Not only does fiber clean you out, it also keeps you satiated (i.e feeling full) longer. Fasting occasionally, is ok (i’m no doctor, not yet anyways) but I feel that eating a balanced diet, and exercise is the best way to lose weight.

You can also us Fleet Phrosoda and drink it was a 8 oz cup of gatarade or powerade and then drink a cup after. Do this 4 times within a 24hour period and it will clean you out (this is what the doctor gives you before performing a colonospy (but you can find it at CVS, Pick ‘n Save, etc.

#73 Bill is that you playa?

i dont agree with her losing weight in that fashion but i commend her self-control . you have to have some sort of self control to do that diet.

If you don’t change your eating habits, dieting is a waste of time.
You’ll lose the weight one month only to gain it back the next month……..

Proper eating habits, Fasting once a month (try fasting for 4 hours, Eight hours, 12 Hours, then 24 hours), and exercise will keep you HEALTHY.

* Everyone is NOT MEANT to be a size 2 or a size 5.
Depending on your metabolism, your weight gain/lose may not be easy or even recommended.

As long as your not OVERWEIGHT, and your healthy, you’ll be fine.

Bill Said:

Y’all be knowing my writing style, huh….

i was on that for 3 days nothing happen problems cause i dident have any laxatives i was soo mad

LMAO @ #42 giving advice!

@ 90 That’s funny because I’m laughin at a grown woman (you are a woman right????) with an avatar of Tupac…

Here’s one more piece of advice…well more to CL than you…Please stop letting these 10 year old boys/girls?????? interrupt grown folks conversations on this website.

yea Bill i be peeping you at.

Even if she does lose weight, it’s not going to help her album sells. Unlike a lot of black people on here who think thicker is always better, I always thought Ashanti looked like a thick ass pig and her legs looked like logs. She had no type of shape. She still looks the same up above, just a few pounds lighter. Ashanti gains weight easily, and so does Beyonce. It’s a shame that they lose weight just to use their body to help sell albums.

^^^^ As I’ve said before, and I think to you, lots of black people think “thicker is better,” because we are thicker… To do otherwise, as I’ve said, would amount to self-loathing…

I’m so Sick of people talking about she can’t sing…. no one ask any of you that question it’s about her weight!!!!!! OMG give it up the shit’s old now….

She lost weight? Didn’t even notice.

Didn’t Beyonce do the same thing for Dreamgirls? If it worked for Be, why can’t she do it. She sure looks good tho.

She needs to lose more weight. Still too fat.

…I bet she will gain that week in about a month. lol

@ #91, what did I say that was childish to you? The only thing I said was LMAO @ you giving advice. I don’t think that was childish. However, I do think it would’ve been childish if I said that it looks like you have already ate alot of fish in response to when you said “Also don’t eat a lot of fish because Puritan in fish can cause your joints to swell.” LOL

BTW, I am a grown a$$ woman. Wether or not I am too much woman for you to handle is debatable. You really could ignore my posts because I don’t expect to go back and forth with you on the internet. That ain’t my style. I was just amused by your post. That’s all folks! Yes! I got it. That’s who you remind me of. The pig that says “That’s all folks” at the end of the cartoons. I really have been wondering where I have seen your face before. Now I know. NE Way, Good night and God bless.

Ashanti looks nice. I didn’t think she needed to lose weight but whatever floats her boat.

Well, she needs to do it two more times cuz she is still too big and could easily lose 15 pounds STILL!

Ashanti said on and entertainment tonight interview that she never thought she was fat. It was 6 am in the morning, her hair wasnt done and she was chillin by the pool and just didnt feel lke taking pics. She said that newspapers just wrote some whack mess for a story lol.

and ashanti has ALWAYS been a thick girl. Look @ 2002. Her tummy stays tight but her thighs are always thick. even in 03 when she got all toned, she still had ass and thighs lol Ashanti was an athlete in highschool and has a fast metabolism. She prob worked it off in the gym. But with that being says, she does seem like the type that could handle that nasty shake bc she does have a lot of willpower. ALBUM COMES OUT IN DECEMBER HAHA!

I lasted a solid four days and then CAVED in lol…It takes discipline to go cold turkey off of food like that & I didn’t have it…maybe I’ll take another stab at it!

@ MISSENVIED,

I know what you mean. That’s why they say you should slowly wean yourself off meats & processed foods for a few days to a week before your cleanse to prepare. It’s easier this way. Some people try to load up on everything they can the day before they start, but that makes it worse. Before I began I ate lots of salads & raw foods.

why does it look like somethin wrong wit her smile..she still pretty but dat smile is 2 fake..

That cleansing diet works. Her movie was number one too! So I guess it paid off.
http://www.blackplaysandfilms.com

I here that Aretha Franklin is on a diet too…….It’s called the See Food diet…:-)

Ashanti nor beyonce are fat women…who in the heck want to be a skin and bone?
the master cleanse is primarily used as a colonic cleansing method not a diet method. people who wanted a “quick fix” embraced this method and started to use it as a form of dieting. I think it’s great it has done wonders for me but my intention wasn’t for any weight loss. the results included weight loss of 12 pounds which took me to my current weight of 115 pounds at 5′2 small frame. i use this method bi-monthly to cleanse out the colon not to diet. so please dieters be very cautious when using this method regularly you can through off your electrolytes and then you would need to be hooked up to an I.V. fluid bag or drink tons of gatorade to get back on balance….be safe!!!!!

Lula Pear why do you care what people do, and you are only responding to half of what ppl are writing. Vegetarians eat bread, rice, pasta, what I said was fruits and veggies and no actually you will not gain weight if you ate low sugar fruits, no one said all fruits or only fruit smart one. Dang read first please then respond. Who cares if someone wants to live on that hot pepper mess let them. I always wonder about pple and their intentions on this board no on is mixing the drink for you.
Peace out, there is always somone hating, today it seems to be you.

the one has spoken…

I did the fast before and lost 10 pounds in about 7 days. I kept the weight off. I was 141 pounds and went to 131. I didn’t do it to lose the weight but was happy it came off. The most important thing with the fast is making sure you come off of it smoothly. When you end it you can not just go back to eating crazy. You have to have juice the first day…then juice and soup the next, then fruits and then gradually bring solids back into your diet. If you eat right away you could harm yourself. The first time I did it…I drank juice the first day and then the second day I had liquor and got hammered from a margarita. My system wasn’t ready for it. You should only do this cleanse twice a year. I had A LOT of energy when I was on it. I would run for 45 minutes, go lift weights, go to spin and then go to taeboe class! I had a lot of energy and I didn’t get hungry…I wanted to eat but I wasn’t hungry. The lemonade was pretty good. I would find myself drinking a gallon a day. It was really tasty.

JUST EIGHT POUNDS OVER THE SUMMER, I CAN LOSE THAT IN A WEEK. I ADMIT IF I LOSE JUST 8 POUNDS OVER THE SUMMER I WOULD BE PISSED OFF. ASHANTI LOST MORE THAN 8 POUNDS, BECAUSE 8 POUNDS DO NOT GIVE RESULTS LIKE THAT, MORE LIKE 28 POUNDS. CAN ANYONE SAY LIPO AND TUCK.

@ Pac, Jr.

Shakes my head and wipes a tear of laughter from my eye……….

oh wait…that was pity from your piggy joke…

Now that’s All!!!!!! smootchies

DIETS DO NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT IS TO CHANGE THE HABITS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. MANY PEOPLE ARE EMOTIONAL EATERS OR ADDICTED TO FOOD. MANY PEOPLE GO ON DIETS LOSE WEIGHT AND GAIN IT BACK BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL PRACTICING THOSE SAME BAD HABITS THAT CAUSE THE WEIGHT GAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE KEY IS CONTROL. EAT HEALTHY AND MODERATELY, EXERCISE, AND DROP THE BAD HABITS THAT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN> THIS IS THE FORMULA PEOPLE.

you guys are sounding like you don’t go to church. if you go to church you know that fasting is normal. as i said before i did it not to lose weight i was a size 2/3 when i did the first time yes i lost weight but that wasn’t my reason to do it. you have to know your body and also read instead of just following people. those saying people don’t love their bodies and that is why they do it are very wrong. we are all supposed to cleanse our bodies twice a year. well i LOVE my body and that is why i do the cleansing. educate yourselves people.

damn @ 93, that was a bit harsh….but funny, lol.

LMAO @ 107!!!!!!

Those HOT DOG arms still look the same to me! LOL! Ashanti is a thick girl, and most dudes like em thick! Even though its fun to clown her, Ashanti can get it in any hood. Y’all know that. She needs to finish her Dianne Carroll etiquette training though, get that laugh in check.

I read that angelina jolie eats bacon and eggs everyday and stays skinny….I guess atkins really works lol

—————————————————————————————————
If you go back and read the procession of comments, you’ll see that you’re wrong… I responded to everything you said… everything was in order…
And, if you’d skim my replies again, you’ll see the thing about that other point…I was clearly saying you weren’t specific about the amount of veggies and fruit, so people should know that you can get fat eating fruit, only fruit (”only fruit” is simply used to emphasize what I’ve already said…I was not saying you’d said “only fruit” There is record of a morbidly obese man, by the way, who only eats oranges. He asked his Dr why he was obese, he couldn’t get how it was possible when his diet consisted of oranges, period… And, the DR said if you eat enough of ANYTHING you get fat. That was my point. I read “eat fruits and veggies” and so I made the point, that can make you fat).
As for “hating,” why? Because I disagreed with you? Or because I told others not to try this “master cleanse”? I said it and I meant it: DON’T TRY IT. It means starvation for most, because how many of us in this consumer culture really care about ecstasy and mental clarity??? I don’t want women killing themselves, starving, skulking around disgusting spectral flushed-faces.. It’s not hating, I’m helping…

Oh and, about the vegetarian thing, vegans and vegetarians are not the same thing… See, I’m not “hating” I’m just peeking in at holes, who ever could resist them???

ONCE AGAIN, FOLKS DID NOT PAY CLOSE ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE POST…

MASTER CLEANSER IS A CLEANSER, NOT A DIET! IT IS A HEALTHY AND NATURAL WAY TO FREE YOUR BODY FROM TOXINS. (I’VE DONE IT 4 SEPARATE TIMES FOR AT LEAST A 10 DAY PERIOD.) AND SINCE YOUR ONLINE WHY DON’T YOU GOOGLE IT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS BEFORE YOU START PITCHIN YA PENNIES.

IT ALSO SAYS THAT SHE SPECIFICALLY DID IT FOR HER PRESS JUNKETS, IT DOES NOT SAY THIS IS HER REGULAR DIET. LET’S KEEP IT REAL FOLKS, WE KNOW THIS IS HOLLYWOOD AND THERE IS A CERTAIN STANDARD TO BE MAINTAINED, RIGHT OR WRONG.

the drink is DELICIOUS! You Just have to put the right amount of syrup vs lemon. Make sure u use WHOLE LEMONS, not lemon juice… The lemon juice will make it take nasty. But WHOLE LEMON juice will make it take GREAT!

Do it for 10 days.

This is really sad.. and Ashanti was never big to begin with… these Entertainers are WACK!

LMFAO @ Pac, Jr.

Ok. I got to give it to you. That was a good one! LOL!!

@Lula Pear

I agree with The_One. You stay on your hater, holier than thou, I’m smarter, more fashionable than thou kick. Listen to Lula Pear, she knows Evvveeerything.

yeah, okay…that’s why I’m always asking questions, that’s why I asked a question in THIS POST…????????

How about this…anyone who finds me, well…any of those things the person above me said…ignore me. It’s as simple as that. Really.

Come on guys it can’t be that bad i weigh 10 stone 60 and i could do with trying this Lemonade Diet thingy
My face is kinda getting a lil big and i’ve tried exercising, healthy eating and i’ve been off fast food or 5 years and still can’t seem to shift this unwanted weight
So i’mma try this for awhile but i hardly believe i’ll lose anything in a week

I have been on the master cleanse for 7 days now and i have lost 5 pounds. I have not ate anything apart from drinking the lemonade. I started getting real hungry on day six but i am okay. My goal is to go for 10 days which ends on wednesday.

Today is my first day of the cleanse I have to do this wish me good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

That is too too too funny when you say you didn’t even last 10 hours. Sounds like me…LMAO

well i plan to start next week and i will let u know. i am still wondering if this will cause me to lose my lovey set of DD if so hell no i wont let them go.lol sometimes when u lose it all to fast it makes ur bust line go down. tell me what u think

Weight loss on the Master Cleanse isn’t sustainable. It’s just a starvation diet that also serves to irritate your colon and flush out all the good bacteria that help protect your body against infection. Not to mention that the creator, Stanley Burroughs, was a felon, convicted for the second-degree murder of one of his patients. Doesn’t sound like the kind of guy I want to take medical advice from.

They only thing i disagree with people who say eating less or eating more fruits is unhealthy, is why and i hate to say exspecially blacks as a whole. Think it’s more healthy to eat pork, fried foods, fast food, and a butt load of sweets but that’s o.k. and healthy. Please that’s why have of us are dying from diabetes and heart disease and other types of food related aliments. If your body can take stuffing it with every type of fat, grease and chemical everyday, i think it can stand eating less or eating healthier for a week.
