A few years ago, Beyonce Knowles was preparing for her role in the hit movie, Dreamgirls.
She (or perhaps the studio) realized that makeup and wardrobe could only do so much to make her look "slimmer".
So what did she do?
She did what millions of weight loss hopefuls do...
Look for an easy, quick fix.
Beyonce's "drug of choice" was the Master Cleanse, which she followed for 14 days.
In case you're unfamiliar with this "lemonade" cleanse, it consists of a concoction of fresh lime or lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper mixed with water, that is consumed 6-12 times a day, along with an herbal laxative tea... taken twice a day, and no other food is consumed.
Mmmmmm....
Sounds delicious and definitely a healthy, long-term approach to losing weight. Wouldn't you agree?
NOT!
Nonetheless, she needed a fast and dramatic way of losing weight. And that's exactly what she got...
After just 14 days on the master cleanse she lost 20 lbs!
According to Yahoo News, Beyonce said the following:
"My nutritionist suggested the only way to do that [lose weight fast] was the [maple syrup diet] fast".
Wow, sounds like a great nutritionist if you ask me.
But it gets even better as Beyonce told Oprah (while she was on her show doing her promo tour) that...
"I was cranky...People were eating Krispy Kreme Doughnuts around me."
And Beyonce added that...
"As soon as it was over, I gained the weight back! I was so happy to return to my regular eating patterns after ending the Master Cleanse."
So let's recap her brief cleansing experience:
1. Wants to lose weight,
2. Follows the master cleanse for 14 days,
3. Loses 20 lbs,
4. Stops the master cleanse and resumes previous eating habits,
5. Regains 20 lbs!
Now I understand Beyonce is a famous superstar but the reality is that she's just a human being like you and I.
And unfortunately, so many people have been in the exact same boat as Beyonce - at least with regards to losing weight.
Have you ever lost weight only to see if come back faster than a boomerang?
If so, you're not alone. Millions of people have.
But there are also millions of people who have successfully lost weight and kept it off - for life!
What's the difference between the two groups you ask?
Those who successfully lose weight eat healthy (most of the time) and exercise regularly.
But how do you eat healthy "most of the time"?
Well, it helps if you can kick-start your weight loss journey and reset your body (and palette) with a healthy and sustainable nutrition-based cleanse.
Nothing like the master cleanse but rather a clean, whole-foods approach to eliminating the garbage out of your diet (and your body) that you can maintain not for just 14 days but for months on end.
Yes, that's right...
You can cleanse your body through food! In fact, that's what your body prefers compared to liquid sugar fasts (like the master cleanse) or dangerous herbal laxatives.
And that's why I am so excited to tell you about my friend - holistic nutritionist and cleansing expert, Yuri Elkaim - and his natural food-based cleanse called the Total Wellness Cleanse.
In all honesty, I've never seen such a safe, effective, and comprehensive approach to cleansing. And the best part is that there's no detox pills or supplements - you can lose weight,
have more energy, have beautiful skin, and so much more simply by following the nutrition principles laid in his cleanse.
And to jump start 2011 and help you reach that slim and healthy body, Yuri is being incredibly generous by giving you $100 OFF the regular price of his Total Wellness Cleanse.
But this discount is only available until Wednesday January 4, 2012. After that, the price of his program goes back up!
If you're sick and tired of not being able to fit into your clothes, not feeling like "yourself", and fed up with giving up on your weight loss resolutions, then this is the HOPE you so
desperately need.
I know you'll make the right decision.

P.S. Don't make the same mistake as Beyonce. You CAN lose 20 lbs in 14 days and actually keep it off. Here's how...
It is actually easier to gain fats back than to loose them. For Beyonce she had a reason to be slimmer and it pave a great deal of dedication and that is why she did it.
