One of the hottest new trends in weight loss are detox diets. These cleanses are typically liquid-based and can help people shed unwanted pounds quickly. This is really just water weight and unless you stick to a healthy diet and exercise regimen after, you’ll likely see the weight return.
Hollywood stars have been using these detox cleanses to prepare themselves for red carpet events, and thanks to People Magazine, we’ve got an inside-look at how the likes of Beyonce and Gwyneth cleanse to lose weight.
Beyonce’s Cleanse
Beyonce made the Master Cleanse diet a household name. She prepares this recipe with hot water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper and drinks only this for 10-14 days. After using the Master Cleanse (also known as the lemonade diet or the maple syrup diet) to lose 20 pounds for her Dreamgirls role, she told Ellen Degeneres “I was very hungry, therefore I was evil.”
Anne Hathaway’s Cleanse
Similar to Beyonce, Anne uses a lemonade diet to prepare for red carpet photo opps. She uses David Kirsch’s 48-Hour Detox. Celeb trainer Kirsch’s lemonade mix isn’t really any different from the lemonade diet recipe you prepare at home. She drank this four times a day for 48 hours prior to the 2009 Golden Globes.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Cleanse
This starlet is no stranger to cleansing and has been open about her cleansing regimen. “I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year,” Gwyneth has said. She worked with Dr. Alejandro Junger to design a one-week diet and detox to help her “kick-start [her] year a bit lighter.” She removed all dairy, caffeine and processed food from her diet and drank a beet-carrot-apple-ginger juice, broccoli and arugula soup and ate meals like a sugar- and soy-free chicken teriyaki.
Giuliana Rancic’s Cleanse
The E! News anchor lost seven pounds before her 2007 wedding by using the The Ultimate Tea Diet. She had to drink four cups of tea each day and eat three light meals, like chicken breast and steamed vegetables.
Megan Fox’s Cleanse
The transformer star uses apple-cider vinegar and water to cleanse her system.
Not into any of this stuff. I eat well all year long & if I want to be a bit tighter for some event, I know how to do it & still eat… to each their own but I really don’t think some of these are good.. & the weight will come back right away when you start eating again.
Celebrities are pressured to stay very thin since they look 10 pound heavier on TV so it is tough for them, especially women.

I did the Master Cleanse a couple of years ago. I needed to lose 10lbs and I lost 20lbs in 12 days. I kept that lemonade mixture beside me at all times and was not hungry until day 11. The great thing about it for me was that after you finish the diet you have no interest in anything greasy or sugary. You can really taste the preservatives. I highly recommend it. Just listen to your body…it will tell you when you are done.
I found that one of the best ways to lose weight is the Master Cleanse Detox. Its cheap, the products are easy to find and its easy to make. I cant believe how much weight I lost on this diet. I might as well be the next Beyonce. :0)

After trying to come up with a long time solution to my weight problem I had decided to give the Master Cleanse a try. It took me some time to come up with the strong will and mental power to accept the fact that I had to stop eating for few days, if I was to follow the Master Cleanse accordingly.
Day one was a bit of a challenge to me, but to my own surprise days 2 and forward were not that difficult to handle actually. I am amazed that I managed to stay on the Master Cleanse for TEN DAYS. I couldn’t believe. Lost 10 lbs. in the process.
I strongly recommend it to everybody.
when detoxifying the body, i always prefer to use natural foods which helps elimnate toxins. but it is also more convenient to use those commercial detox products.
tried the master cleanse and it ended fast!!! I loved the lemode drink … tasty
DOES that mean thats all she had NO food?/ Ack I’d stave ITS so not worth it
I hear a trick they use is to put spice on what they are eating and it helps keep the hunger at bay…maybe I will try it!
I heard brushing your teeth every time you get a craving. So I thought I’d try the kids’ sugarfree bubblegum toothpaste! Anyone tried that?!

Hmm … I’m not so sure about these “detoxes”. I think if you stuck to a simple and reasonable clean eating plan and added moderate exercise 3 – 5x a week, you can achieve even better, lifelong results.
I always hear about cleanses/detoxes but have never tried yet because I don’t think I’d be able to handle it.
One Day I will!!
