How do people lose weight on the Master Cleanse?

Andrea Giancoli (Registered Dietician ) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'Master Cleanse Diet'?; What makes the lemon,syrup or pepper combination so special?; Are a cleanse, detox, and fast the same thing? and more...

This form of weight loss works, because you are on a very low calorie diet when you start the master cleanse. When you are on a low calorie diet, you are going to lose weight in the beginning. It's not completely starvation, but you're definitely taking in fewer calories than your body needs. So you're kind of going into that halfway starvation mode depending on how low your calories really are.
