I've always thought about doing a cleanse weekend type thing for like 2 days. I doubt I could exercise during that time. I usually do like 2 hours of exercise a day and if I even think about skipping a meal before and after exercise I'm passing out. This will be interesting to keep up with.

To me, it's all based on results. If anything, it might just be ingredients that stave of hunger and bring in a low calorie load, and the rest is just nonsense. We shall see...

There is absolutely no way some guy gained eight pounds of muscle in 28 days on a lemonade fast. While the protein requirements of hypertrophy are almost always vastly overstated, you still need to be running at least 1.2 g / kg body weight in order to build muscle. Furthermore, it's almost impossible to build more than one pound of muscle a week without steroids. Uh, good luck!
