I have heard all the arguments for these. I have heard all the arguments against them.
Personally, the Blueprint Cleanse strikes me as a exploitative, over-priced product that preys on the (especially female) desire for a quick weight loss fix. I am wary of the reasons given for this cleanse that try and avoid that distinction.
If your reasons are health-related (“I like healthy juices”), why would you want to spend $400 for it?
Furthermore, if your reasons ARE weight loss-related, why would you not admit it? (I have never seen anyone admit to trying Blueprint for the temporary weight loss benefits, although I genuinely believe that is much of the underlying motive for purchases.) “I like the taste” is not going to convince me—no way are you spending $400 because it’s delish. (If you are, that’s cray cray.)
I have heard no truly convincing justification for downing these little mothers, but you can try me if you wish! I will eat (drink) my words if I need to!

True story: my tiny little sister is trying her THIRD cleanse in as many months, this time, a juice/soup cleanse instead of the Master, which she’d tried in the past.
Problem is, chica loves her some food! She lasted about a day on each of the others, and that’s pretending like she didn’t “cheat”. This one has been going on for three days now, and she’s trying in the following manner:
Buying pre-made, pastuerized “smoothie” drinks - all fruit (no veggie) instead of making her own - cheats #1 & #2
Instead of eating meals, she’s drinking her drinks and “trying” bits of everyone elses food - cheat #3
I really hope this is her last “cleanse”.
