Can diabetics use the master cleanse?

Answer 1

Diabetics can use a substitute sweetener from agave root... see the master cleanse by Stanley Burroughs for more info! Consult your doctor before trying the cleanse and remember this is not a get thin or fit fast solution This is a way to jump start a new eating program and gain control over your eating habits and cravings. The cleanse should be the start of a new way of life where you eat healthier 95% of the time so that you can treat yourself 5% of the time. I am on day 5 of the cleanse now and plan on rolling into "the abs diet" right after which is a program to developing lean muscle, being fit, and healthy. It promotes positive eating habits such that you feel empowered by eating.. not by fasting. I encourage everyone to seek out that book and learn about healthy eating!!!! So I am using the cleanse to put behind me a regiment of non-health minded eating habits and bridge the gap between that and the abs diet. If you decide to do the cleanse hunger and habit will be your main enemies. For motivation I watched some YouTube.com videos of people trying it and their stories.. very helpful when you feel like breaking the cleanse. The MOST important aspect is getting off of the cleanse!! No matter when you decide to finish be it day 3 day 10 or day 30, make sure you follow the ending portion where you gradually go back into eating. If not .. then not only will you regain what you lost in weight... but more importantly you will severely cripple the digestive productivity of your system. It would be like putting mud in your gas tank. So be sure to concentrate on that and give yourself the 3 or 4 day post cleanse program. Plan for it so that if you want to do a 3 day cleanse plan for a 7 day regime and for 10 day cleanse plan for 14 day regime I hope this opinion helps and feel free to contact me myhunterism@Yahoo.com.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 2

No, you should not. I passed out on day four and came to shaking, sweating and very confused even though I was drinking the drink at regularly spaced intervals. For hypoglycemics, eating sugars causes an excessive production of insulin which drives the blood sugar to dangerously low levels. Some can do it but some cannot and it is too dangerous to mess with, in my opinion as well as that of many nutritionists if you do some research. Some will say they got through it fine, but what if you are the one who doesn't and the paramedics get called or worse? Basically you are putting nearly a pound of maple syrup into your bloodstream a day about to get enough nutrients and calories. The high sugar content is also very inflammatory to your system.
