Questions??? Master Cleanse

I started this blog a couple years ago when I was on the Master Cleanse. I recently started a couple new blogs and then realized I still had this one. I know many ppl have questions. Ask away and I will answer. I will try to look on here often for your questions.

DAY NINE

I got my period tonight so I may end my cleanse tomorrow since your period is already considered a sort of cleanse. I have not decided yet but we will see how I feel tomorrow or better yet Saturday. NO CRAVINGS today and I really don't think I even want to go back to eating regular food. I'm really happy just not worrying about if this or that is healthy or better yet feeling really bad for eating a snicker or something. This cleanse is way less complicated. I know I learned to be more aware of what I'm putting in my body and the effects food have on me. I know I will continue with a healthy life style because I refused to go back down the unhealthy route which left me feeling bloating and lazy.

To answer a question from my readers. Yes, you are suppose to take the laxative tea although you take the SWF. Some people are different they want to follow everything to the t. If that's you then the answer is yes. However, if you want to adjust the cleanse so it suits you and make it easier then join the club many ppl have done so. Some don't take the tea or the SWF. I do drink them both but something I don't drink the tea. When I don't I make sure to drink the SWF the next morning so I can have bowl movement.

DAY EIGHT

To everyone reading this blog. GOOD LUCK......... and thank you for your support. I think this cleanse really thought me to never give up. So I have a confession I ate one half of a twix. Was it worth it? no. At first I felt bad and when I was eating it I didn't even like the taste anymore but because it was not lemonade I ate it. My body responding by sending me to the bathroom but before that I felt heavy and my mood changed. After I went to the bathroom I felt light again and felt better and decided to keep going because I'm no quitter :)

6 more days

DAY SEVEN

Again, I had cravings but they were not as bad as day 6. I wanted to eat pasta but don't know why...... I think to end a cleanse and gulf down a bowl of pasta wouldn't be good for my body anyway. So I guess that was motivation to keep going. I just love the way I feel light and healthy.

I forgot to mention to all my readers that by day 3 I incorporated fruits into my cleanse. I only eat a small amount but I think it helped me to keep going. I believe before you go into anything you should research and that's what I did I read it was ok to eat fruits because they are easy on your digestive track. I think it's great because I'm still losing weight and I'm not hungry.

I want to take it a step further. I want to do the cleanse for 10 to 14 days then extend it to 30 days but for the remaining days I want to incorporate a small dinner maybe a salad or something plus way more exercising. I will keep on blogging and let you all know how it works for me. I think at this point I'm use not eating but at night I have craving so to solve the problem I want to eat a small meal then I can continue all the way to day 30. I think everyone is different and it's best to find out what work best for YOU.... People will have there opinions but please always listen to your body and do what is best for you

Day SIX

Day six wow. Day six was interesting. At night I got the most intense cravings ever. I wanted to eat so bad. But I didn't let it get the best of me. I had to remember that the end result is really worth it. Plus, I realize I'm not a quitter and decided to keep going. Other than that I had energy and felt great. I may decide to end my cleanse after 10 days instead of 14 I'll decide on the 10th day

4 more days or
8 more days to go

Day FIVE

I think today was the best day yet :) No cravings. Wasn't really hungry and was very proud of myself for still being on it. I did lose more weight today but I will report my total weight loss on the 7th day which is the half way point. Today was weird because I really like the over all lightness I feel and I was figuring ways I can incorporate the master cleanse in my day life once I'm off. Still haven't made it to the gym but tomorrow do look promising.

To answer the question posted in the comments:
Thank you for leaving a comment and good luck on your journey on the cleanse. I take the tea before I go to bed and upon rising I take the swf and I usually go to the bathroom. I read that sometimes if you don't feel the effect of the swf then you should drink a lot of water after that usually help. Also to help the taste with the flush try heating up the water a little and adding the salt. Any other question just let me know and also keep me posted on your progress :)

9 more days.......................... I'm almost there :)

DAY FOUR

Pretty good...my stomach did growl but had no hunger pains or anything. I guess my body is getting use to it. I still don't grave food. I'm even considering going longing then 14 days I guess we will see :) to those reading this.I really believe if you have the drive and motivation you really can do this. Just remember mind over body. Even if you don't the drive this is a good way to get some and test your will power ( that will help with snacking on junk and overeating). I didn't go to the gym today was to tired so I went to bed early. But I really want to incorporate that because I use to go before starting the cleanse. How do my body feel? Empty but that's a good thing. I still can't believe I made it this far. I guess we are stronger than we give our self credit for. This cleanse has become a part of my everyday life I can care less about solid food.

Bonus: More weight loss and my skin looks great. My stomach is continuing to get flatter and my energy is getting better

10 more days to go....................go me :)

Day THREE

I guess the hard part is done because my cravings are gone. I was in the city and I saw mc Donalds and the pizza shop and although I felt hungry I had no deserve to break. I had a slight headache today but that went away quickly. I'm actually feeling good. My stomach is flatter and I lose 3 pounds so far :) I guess that's one pound per day. Tomorrow after my meeting I will like to go to the gym if time permits. This cleanse makes me feel like I can do anything if put my mind to. Also, I feel more alive and healthy. My best friend Santos told me today she was feeling stuff I guess because she ate to much that's a feeling I don't ever want to feel again because I feel completely light.

Remember: Mind over body. I did meditate this morning so maybe that's why today went by so easy.

11 more to go......................

Day Two

I took the flush this morning and I had to wait about 1 hour before I had to use the bathroom. This time it was half watery and solid. When I got hungry I drunk the lemonade. My cravings are getting better. I must say I'm a bit sluggish I heard this is normal and usually go away well lets see. Other than that I'm good and I'm very proud of my self for not quitting.

Day ONE

It really wasn't that bad. I thought it was going to be worst. I took the tea the night before and did the flush upon waking. I did go to the bathroom about 15 minutes later. I did get rid of a lot of waste and felt lighter. Later on when I got hungry I did drink the lemonade. It actually doesn't taste bad I think that was a good think because if it did that would have been a problem. Did I have cravings???? HELL YES....... what did I crave Bacon Bacon Bacon. I mean any thing wrapped in bacon ice cream or cake lol. Yes very weird combination. But I must say it did go away after a while. My will power must be strong. I just occupied my mind with other things. My family did eat in front of me you would think that was a bad thing actually it helped me because I would imagine it was me eating it and it work. It guess the mind is really a powerful thing.

I did get a headache which went away after awhile. When I was about to sleep I did crave bacon what the hell is up with that. I consideredcheating but I just drunk the tea and went to sleep.

What is the Master Cleanse

What is the Master Cleanse aka Lemonade Diet?

This cleanse has been around for many years and was created by Stanley Burroughs. You can find his book at amazon or at your local book store. Better yet you can find free information on the web just by doing a search. This cleanse regained fame after it was used by celebrities like Beyonce who lose 20lbs for her role in dream girls and many others like Ashanti and rapper Trina. So what is hype about? well this is a detox that cleanse your body of all the toxins and waste that accumulated over the years. Other benefits include:

weight loss
more energy
loss of craving for unhealthy food
glow of skin and improvement in complexion
desire to eat healthy once off the detox

of all the benefits the fact that you can lose 10 to 20lbs is definitely a plus. But remember this is not really a diet but a detox.

I decided to do this blog to let others in on my experience on the detox (the good bad and the ugly) I will also document my life after the detox to show how I transitioned back to solid food. My goal is to cleanse my body and start over. I want to create a very healthy lifestyle. Hopefully this blog will be motivation for you to do the same. I have included below all you need to start this cleanse. I found everything at my local health food store well all except the lemons. Just remember the night before you start you should drink the tea.

For at least 10 days, drink around 10 servings/day of the following:

• 2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice NOT BOTTLED JUICE!! (approx. 1/2 lemon),
• 2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup,
• 1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and
• 1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.

(This is what I did) This is the equivalent of taking an empty gallon water jug and filling it with:

• the juice of 5 lemons
• 1 1/4 cup of organic Grade B maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 10 cups of water

Shake it all up and you got your days’ serving!

Salt-Water Flush Recipe

Upon rising drink a mixture of:

• 2 level teaspoons of uniodized sea salt to a…
• quart of lukewarm water

Herbal Laxative Tea (You can find this at most grocery stores)

Each evening drink an herbal laxative tea to help with elimination - preferably right before bed.
