Mend Your Diet

Is the Master Cleanse (lemonade) diet ok for me?

I take 2 anti-depressant meds every day (1 in the a.m., 1 at night). I'm not going to stop taking them, as that would just be stupid and risky! Will this diet mess with their effectiveness? I just want to do it a day or 2 to detox, I don't need to lose any weight.

1. You'll need to talk to your prescriber about this. Depending on the pills, it may be unwise to go on a fast-type cleanse.
2. depends on what type of antidepressant they are. In your case I would say try cleansing with a high fiber diet with pure cranberry juice... it will cleanse much in the same manner but you will still be getting nutrients. Shredded wheat (without the frosting) and a pure (organic is great) cranberry juice wihtout added sugar
3. For 2 days - no not a problem.
