To better understand women’s fascinations with dieting, Jake and Eddie went on The Lemonade Diet (The Master Cleanse) for ten days.

Jake:

This was by far the hardest day. I tried to keep busy, but temptation seemed to be at its worse.

Physically, I feel fine. I have a lot of energy, and I’m still not starving. I think what we’re doing is torturing ourselves. Our kidneys and livers were meant to filter out bad stuff. Our intestines were meant to be filled with shit. So the idea that I have to deny myself food so that I can clean my kidneys and liver, and cleanse my intestines is ridiculous. I shat today for the first real time on the diet and it was nasty. If you imagine cleaning out the dusty, dirty corners of your body, that’s what it was. It seemed like all the toxins and old shit stuck in my body.

I’m also slowing down my intake of the lemonade. I have my saltwater in the morning and then don’t drink the lemonade until about 2 or 3. I’m just sort of repulsed by it and bored of it. I’m ready for food. This is fucking stupid.

Eddie:

I hate this diet.
