Whats the difference between the SP Detox Cleanse and a Fast like the Master Cleanser?
The difference between cleansing and fasting is the difference between eating and not eating, and between nutrition and lack thereof. Fasting is defined as going without food and or drink for a period of time, and, as one can imagine, that will nutritionally and energetically deplete a person. There are a variety of fasts out there, ranging from only water to a popular one called the Master Cleanser, made of lemon juice and maple syrup. We typically don’t recommend fasting, as the basic theory is that in restricting what is being ingested, the body will start to pull toxins out of the tissues. The problem here is that in taking in less nutrients and less calories, the body depletes itself, which weakens the whole system. The metabolism slows down, which only leads to weight gain when the person begins eating again, and overall, fasting is simply not very effective in pulling toxins out of the body. Cleansing, on the other hand, is designed to drastically increase the amount of vitamins
