1000 calories a day? Any diet below 1200 calories are risky.. However, compared to other detox diet, Master Cleanse for example, this is so much better.

I think you would gain weight pretty fast once you're off this diet. You've been taking liquids for 21 days with only 1000 calories.. Once you go back to your eating solids, your calorie intake would increase and you're likely to gain weight.

They do suggest you start on soft solid foods first so your digestive system won't experience a shock.. 21 days on liquid diet.. It's guaranteed that you'll lose a lot of weight on this..

I guess what matters is that you have cleansed your body with toxins. I can try that..and I wouldn't mind gaining weight again if I should. But I guess it's betters to cleanse the body once in a while, then never....at all.
