Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a lot of the reviews on here before I purchased the book. I so badly wanted it to work. I read about everyone from Jared Leto to Beyonce to Robin Quivers losing weight using the Master Cleanser plan. I really wanted it to work. I bought all the needed stuff -- including the special salt, the laxative tea, the lemons, everything. I really, really wanted this to work (have I said that?) I followed the instructions to the letter. I drank the laxative tea the day before starting the program. I woke up hungry (I usually do). The diet says that you will not get hunger pangs but if you get hungry, "simply" drink another glass of lemonade. I drank one as soon as I got up and was starving a few hours later and drank another one. Still hungry. The hunger never went away. I'm not talking about slight hunger. I'm talking being ravenous. By late evening, I was dizzy and started getting a headache. I drank another glass of the special lemonade. And then another. I felt so bad by the time I got home but I drank more water and the laxative tea. I woke up the next day with a headache that was worse than any hangover I've ever had, cramps in my calves (a sign of dehydration) and a *wonderful* case of diahhrea (sp). I was dizzy and couldn't focus my eyes. I literally felt like I was drunk. I couldn't take it anymore and had to eat. I didn't want to quit after making it through one whole day but at that point I didn't have much of a choice. How people do this "cleanse" for weeks, I don't know. I don't remember the last time I felt so awful. I went through a bad breakup years ago and was so upset I didn't eat for a little over a month and lost 30 lbs, so I'm familiar with the concept and have had other times in my life when I've gone without eating. But it's like this this formula made me hungrier the more I used it. I was so disappointed. AGAIN, I really wanted it to work. The book is easy to read, and of course, inexpensive. This isn't a fad, but rather something that people have been using for years. Even if not for weight loss, I wanted to experience the cleansing part and couldn't do it. I have willpower of steel and a high discomfort tolerance but when I became too dizzy to even drive and I could feel my heartbeat in my head (that's how bad the headache was), that's when I have to admit that this diet/cleanse wasn't really a good idea (for me). I know, I'll get slammed here for not saying how great the Master Cleanse is, but trust me, I would have given anything for it to work. I really wanted to do it. I've seen all the positive reviews about the diet here. Apparently I'm the ONLY one who had all the problems I experienced.
