Now I am calorie counting using Lean Cuisines/Smart Ones/Healthy Choice/Kashi prepared meals /desserts and loving it. I've lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks with no cravings or deprivation. In fact, visiting my freezer is like visiting a restaurant. So many items to choose from and so little work!
Note - I still fast for a 1-2 days from time to time to relieve my allergies. I'm not sure why it works, but it does.

You got the leg cramps as well? Those would murder me in the morning when I tried the fast.
I don't think it's so much that the cleanse itself is unhealthy, it's more that as a weight loss method it just doesn't do anything. You haven't learned to control portions, you haven't learned what's healthy, you haven't learned to count calories, you haven't learned anything about dieting, you've just starved yourself for 10 days, lost some real weight (mostly water weight) and will gain all of it back within the month.
