Mental giants Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher don’t think they’re emaciated enough. They’re doing that Master Cleanse diet where you drink water with Cheyenne pepper and maple syrup. The concept is that it somehow detoxes your body while helping you lose weight, but experts counter that it’s dangerous and can result in side effects like dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, depressed mood and irritability. Demi and Ashton are on it, though, and they’re telling people all about it through Twitter.
The couple that deprives themselves together…?
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have gone on the super-strict Master Cleanse together, they announced on Twitter.
The eating plan — which Beyonce also used to slim down for Dreamgirls — features “meals” that consist of maple syrup, lemon water and cayenne pepper.
Moore, 47, swears she’s not doing it to lose weight. “This is about health!!!” she Twittered on Sunday.
She added shortly after, “2nd day of master cleanse and off to hike with hubby and the dogs. 2nd day better than the 1st!”
Still, she may not make it much longer. “Let you know if I make it to day 4,” she told one of her followers. See the top 10 legendary workouts.
Kutcher, 32, is having an even harder time. “9 hrs into the master cleanse. I want a steak, a beer, and a blow-pop. Hmmm this is gonna be rough,” he wrote Saturday.
[From US Weekly]
Newsflash to Demi “I’m all natural” Moore: it’s not healthy to starve! Beyonce was widely criticized when she touted the Master Cleanse for helping her lose weight quickly for Dreamgirls. She said that she gained it all back quickly when she started eating fried foods again, though. A better alternative to starving yourself is always to reduce calories to around 1200-1500 a day and exercise. You may not lose weight as quickly but your blood sugar won’t be so low that you can’t think straight and you won’t gain all the weight back once you start eating solid foods again. It amazes me how truly stupid some celebrities can be. What’s worse is that these idiots have fans who will follow their very harmful advice.
Ack! The “Lemonade Diet!” So unhealthy. No one can sustain 40 days of drinking nothing but water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup. Even going a week on this diet, you have to slowly add food back in because you’re body can’t handle it.
I do 1.5 – 2 days of the master cleanse after a long party weekend. It makes me really really sick at first but after I do my duties/throw up/blow my nose, I feel like a brand new person and go back to eating normally. I see it as a detox, not a diet.
I seem to remember Kat Von D trying to do a 10 day master cleanse on either her show or Miami Ink and she couldn’t.
Am all-eat healthy and avoid loosing weight in an unnatural way.
So wait, you’re not allowed to consume any food whatsoever on this plan? How does one keep from keeling over after a couple of days??
Grandma Kutcher is looking a bit haggard, even for all the spackled on make-up. She should at least change up her middle hairline part. That flathead look is emphasizing her no upper lip and sagging cheeks.
Oh, how I love to rag on that hag.
No one said they were intelligent.
So he produces poo off screen as well eh?
I cannot stand these two.
I did that as a cleanse a few years ago for SIX DAYS. I still don’t know how I lasted that long….drinking that nasty lemonade while frosting my sons birthday cupcakes! The worst part is drinking the saltwater in the morning. I still gag just thinking about having to drink/gag it down, then 15 mins later sit on the toilet for an hour.
BUT not to be too TMI-after the 4th day, things came out of me that truly scared the holy bejebus out of me. I mean FREAKY things! I didn’t do it to loose weight,I did it to see if I could clean out my colon…and seriously after what I saw, the six days of torture was worth it!
I can’t see anything healthy about depriving your body of the nutrients it needs to function.
Mental giants, LOL. But you don’t even need to be very smart to realize this isn’t good for you, or to simply look it up and see the risks. STUPID.
She’s getting her cheeks filled!
i have to say, i like the way she had the plastic surgeon arrange her face into a permanent semi-smile so she can botox to her heart’s desire and still look like she’s expressing emotion. very clever, ms. moore. props to you.
Anything to get some press.
@eileen…ew….but really???
i had colonics in conjunction with a food combining (i.e. no starch with protein) diet & never saw anything bizarre. have to say i was the healthiest ever tho.
btw…her face is falling…just to add a little snark.
Eileen,
Not to be too gross, but do share. I’m thinking of doing the MC because I love detoxing. I wouldn’t twitter about it though. This couple is too much.
yeah, these two are such followers… I bet they want some Goopy’s steam with the diet/workout babble so they start a cleanse… BORING. The only person I was interested in reading about doing the Master Cleanse was Eddie Vedder a few years ago. He said he needed a break from the whiskey and smokes so he was cleaning his system out with lemon water and cayenne pepper…. I wonder what living with Demi Moore is like when she hasn’t had a bite of food in days and she has been poopin’ her brains out… yikes!
Just yuck. She’s ruining him. Look how she clings to him like a life preserver.
After doing this cleanse you don’t just go back to eating foods like it’s no big deal. You have to gradually return to eating again. This is absolutely not a healthy way to lose weight OR cleanse. Ridiculous.
They are strange and are getting even stranger.
why in god’s name do celebrities think their colons are interesting to the rest of the world?
I just had a weekend of bachelorette party, and I need some sort of cleanse to feel good again. Junk food and booze really do a number to you. They have a vitamin cleansing kit you can take, and not eat a bunch of junk. It usually works for me and I get to eat (healthfully of course)! Eileen- I want to hear too!
Just look up colon cleanse on Google Images and take a look at the pics and that pretty much sums it up! It was seriously unsettling! Not enough to take a photo though-what’s wrong with those people on there? EWWWWW!
But I did the all organic one that is in the book-there’s an online version too, and you also drink wheatgrass and other herbs that acts as “bristles” that literally scrub your empty colon. It was a hard week and if you don’t drink the amount of lemonade it tells you to , you will get seriously dehydrated. It happened to me the second day and I was jerking in my sleep and cramping. But once I did exactly what the book says I wasn’t hungry or dehydrated. It was hard not eating though!
These two are pretty sickening. What are they 16? They can’t just live their lives in private or are they that attention starved. And bythe way who really cares what they do? It’s like Jennifer Aniston, who is famous still because of what? or Gwyneth Paltrow? or Kim Kardashian? Who cares what these people do?????
You know they’re getting paid for their advertweets right? I don’t even believe they’re on the Master Cleanse diet. They don’t need to be, they just need to say they are. If Kim Kasdashian can get up to $10,000 for advertweeting, then Demi and Ashton can probably command more.
Noooooooooooooooooooo, MY EYES!!!!! Do NOT google those images. I repeat. Do NOT google those images 🙁
Like anybody is going to take advice from these narcissists. Especially Demi, the plastic surgeon’s ticket to a new Mercedes.
If you eat a healthy diet with plenty of fibre, ie. fruits and veggies – the colon will clean itself naturally. Doing these radical starvation diet fads just slows down the metabolism and screws up your endocrine system.
there’s lots of stuff out there from docs (people with actual IQs, unlike these two) saying that all this “detox” stuff is just the health product scam of our time and complete b.s. i work with a few brightbulbs who buy some sort of “detox” drink online for like $60 – the stuff is just sugar water, including MC – im in the wrong business!
gemmaa, you are too funny!! :O
She’s got to be doing something right…look at her.
I have friends who did this cleanse in preparation for a vacation. They were both emaciated (after many days of no food, you have to eat only broth and then veggies and gradually other things). The man lost like 38 pounds. He looked like a contestant on Survivor. They both gained back the weight as soon as they went back to the way they ate before.
why do the stupid celebrities insist on telling us the extreme measures they need to take to push their heads out of their asses?
@Eileen, ohmygod! hehehe I’m both fascinated and repulsed. What is actually inside us that we don’t expect to see? Tell, no don’t. Okay tell! I’m picturing the pieces of toy that come in a Kinder Surprise.
OK, so of course I had to Google the images, and they take “gross” to another level. And after about three seconds of contemplation, I decided that I’d rather die “un-cleansed” then crap out something that looks like leftover goo from the “Aliens” special effects department.
She looks like his mother.
Codzilla: LOLOLOL! That was hilarious!
There is video out there, too. 😉
Codzilla: 😆 I am crying here, that was hilarious!
cover story for her next batch of plastic surgeries.
Gemmaa why didn’t i listen?????????Now I must cleanse or get a coat hanger up there or something to get that sea-monster out! PEOPLE DON’T LOOK AT THE IMAGES!
Looked at the pictures, and why it’s totally gross to imagine that something like that is building up inside me, can someone tell me why it’s necessary to clean out your colon? Wouldn’t it be one of the things on our annual to-do lists like breast and coochie exams if it was necessary? just sayin…
What if the cleanse upsets the sea monster and it tries to kill you?
I see you can register and do it in a group. Sounds sticky.
Whoa Nelly. Before anybody gets roped into the Master Cleanse diet, get a load of Stanley Burroughs, the creator. He lived a nice full life, but not all his patients were so lucky.
Wikipedia and the unflattering Amazon reviews of his books tell how he was convicted of homicide (reduced to manslaughter by a dubious court ruling) when someone with cancer died from his abdominal massage, starvation diet, and refusal to let the young man go to a licensed, real doctor.

Does Demi have body dysmorphia? Her extreme manipulation of her body is like an obsession, and now she wants Kutch in on it even though he’s a natural Adonis. Looks wise that is, brains wise Demi’s wig is brighter than the two of them put together.
Has it really come to this? Has our society really come to such ridiculousness? Celebrities tweet about clearing out their guts, and the public actually cares about it?? Good grief.
I have the site rotten.com bookmarked and it’s not as disturbing as those colon cleasing videos. Wow. Who knew decapitation would come in 2nd?
You do realise that the images you get by googling “colon cleanse” and the horrors that come out of you after going on cleansing are produced by the concoctions themselves, don’t you?
I do not dismiss all complementary medicine, but this is quackery. Most of these colon cleansing products contain thickening agents and other ingredients that will make you produce what you see coming out of you as “compacted feces” or “mucoid plaque”.
I will never figure these two out as a couple. They don’t seem suited to each other at ALL.
You can clean yor colon with a 24 hour fast and laxatives. That’s how they do it for a cancer look-see. There’s no telling what those people will crap out after all the food is gone. Probably some non vital organ they’ll wish they had later.
Did she get cheek implants?
Wow, you can really see her cheek implants here. I wonder what other plastic enhancement surgery she hasn’t had done?
Morticia and Gomez Addams, ladies and germs
I did it for 10 days and lost 12lbs. The first 3 days were rough, I had to avoid smelling food just so I didn’t get tempted. Its not a diet though, its a detox cleanse. And it really works and not to worry about falling over, actually drinking the lemonade gives you energy. That salt water flush though, man, that was rough. It tasted awful and what happened next is not pleasant. But the bright side you feel really good and clear headed after and you actually have the added benefit of actual weight loss. I would do it again, but I am dreading that salt water flush part of it.
…it’s Cayenne Pepper, not Cheyenne Pepper…used to be a fan of Demi’s but now, not so much – the Master Cleanse has been around for a long, long time but I’m sure with their egos these 2 will somehow devise a way to take complete credit for having “discovered” it
Jules…it’s not necessary, nor recommended. Your kidneys & liver do a fine job of ‘detoxing’ you. It’s…kinda what they’re there for.
Boring.
Creole food is great too! Crawfish etoufee’, shrimp and crab gumbo. Shrimp creole, jambalaya, dirty rice. There’s more out there than just Italian!
