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!
