Okay, here, I don't know what your idea of working out hard is,

but I do hot yoga, which is pretty strenuous in a 105+ degree

environment. I do it about 4-5 days a week. When I do Master

Cleanse, I tend to do yoga more than less, to enhance/hasten the

elimination of toxins. I haven't experienced any negative effects.

(Okay, my attitude toward Master Cleanse is always a beginner one...

the minimum required plus as much as I want... that is what I

originally understood from Stanley Burroughs' book Healing in the

Age of Englightenment... as much as you want -- my first fast, I often

went through 2 2-liter bottles of " lemonade " in a workday.

Now I am a bit more conservative, and drink a lot more water, but

I do tend to drink as much lemonade as I like... it works for me -- I

am doing all of the required things on the Master Cleanse)

 

I would not be worried about muscle loss if you are working out and

doing the Master Cleanse up to 14 days (I think that is all the

Burroughs spoke of.)

hope this helps.

But Joe's right that it's not true nobody does lose muscle on super

long sedentary fasts.
