Many people are familiar with the Master Cleanse, which is a 10 day program wherein you drink nothing but a maple syrup, cayenne and lemon juice mixture. I do not recommend the Master Cleanse as a regimen on its own, because you are not infusing your body with enough calories on a daily basis. This results in a slowing down of the metabolism which can be hard to recover from, particularly for people desiring to lose weight.

One of the questions I get several times a week from fans is should I juice or do smoothies? The answer depends on what you are looking to accomplish. In a nutshell, NOTHING beats a glass of pure organic vegetable juice. Nothing. It is the most efficient and effective way to bathe your cells in nutrition without the nutrition having to compete with the fiber during digestion.
