Cleanse or Bust?

Have you ever been on pinterest, or any other site, and seen this photo for Julian Micheal's detox drink? It calls for 60 oz of water, a tablespoon of cranberry juice, 1 dandelion root tea bad, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to be drank for 7 days straight. If followed, one could lose 5 (or more!) pounds in water weight. 

I tried this regiment, just to see if it worked or not. And to my surprise, it did! I lost about six pounds in the week, and even noticed a difference after day two. I did the drink mix a bit differently. I could not stand the taste of this drink. I mixed it all together in a pitcher, and then used that as my water supply for the day. But every time I took a sip, I immediately wanted something else to chase it down with. So instead of simply 'sucking it up' and just drinking it as is, I would mix the ingredients in 20 oz of water and then drink 40 more ounces of regular/pain water. Much better than the original recipe. And, like I said, I still lost a decent amount of water weight.i also experienced a difference in higher energy levels and improved skin complexion. ***Note: This is water weight, meaning it's very easy to gain back. To lose actual fatty weight, one needs to eat right and exercise on a regular basis.*****

There are a few other detox/cleanse drinks I want to try out, obviously after my body returns to "normal". But for this one, I'd say it works. Just make sure after every cleanse cycle to maintain a healthy diet, to avoid unnecessary bloating and clogging of your organs!
