Joe Rogan Experience #2532 - Tim Robbins · Aired Jul 29, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
A 14-day cleanse resulted in a weight loss of 25 pounds.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Robbins did say he lost 25 pounds, about two a day, on a 14-day cleanse of lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup, and news outlets repeated it. There is no independent record such as weigh-ins or medical data. Studies of 14-day water fasts show an average loss of roughly 7 to 8 percent of body weight, so 25 pounds for a tall man is plausible. Much of that early loss is usually water and lean mass, not fat. A dated before-and-after weight record from Robbins or his team would settle this.
