Hey Lady’s! I’m very excited to see I have some people to join me!
Carmenthia- a natural herbal tea called Senna works wonders…it’s an herb so you don’t have to worry about the availability…anywhere there are herbs you can find it!
I am so excited to start on Monday. This will be my very first cleanse however I have been studying the book for over a month to make sure I do it correctly. I will not be doing the salt water flush because I will be drinking the tea! I’m SOOOO READY!!!...Carmenthia Stay Strong!
Just wanted to say that I have done the Master Cleanse twice. The first time was a bit easier than the 2nd. It is an amazing experience. You feel so lite and everything seems to move at a much slower pace…giving you time to smell the flowers so to speack. Keep us posted of your experience and if you have any questions of what to expect feel free to ask.
Evil- Good luck if you start tomorrow and Domniki Thanks for the support!...Carmenthia I took some of that tea last night and was late to work this morning so use cautiously :0)
Renoir- I actually had a question about the SWF..How in the hell do you possibly stomach it? I haven’t even tried..I think I have a phobia about…When I was younger my use to make me gargle salt water and I use to HATE it! Now I associate salt water with the evil doings of my mother!...I literally get chills thinking about it! What type of salt do you get??
i have been intrested in doing a cleanse but what book do you guys go by and what are the things i have to buy at the store? thanxs
JKMN Another good thing to pick-up from your local healthfood store is the book from author and creator of the Master Cleanse: Stanley Bourroughs…The Lemonade Diet is derived from his book. Study it before you decide to actually do it, if done incorrectly you can make yourself extremely ill! So I would make sure you read the book!
Evil Keeps us informed on how your feeling and keep the faith!
Carmenthia-thinking about the SWF make me gag :0)
**The best info for me JKMN are these forums.
lovelyscene im going to see if my liabrary has the book, but a quick question have you tried the lemonaid diet before? if so what is it and can you eat while on it? thanxs!
JKMN, Carmenthia is right…you are unable to eat anything while on the diet.
Shutter Nutter I suggest getting the book it’s small and doesn’t take long to read but it gives you loads of knowledge about why your actually doing it. I am not doing it for weight loss and wouldn’t suggest the MC for that reason BUT…from what I have read if you NEED to lose weight you will and if you NEED to gain weight you will. Stanley Bouroughs actually says that as your cleaning out your intestines you will pass years of built up waste material.
I’m sending out the Good MoJo to you all! I’ve been toying with the idea of doing it soon, but I have to finish breaking my coffee habit. I’m almost there. Maybe I’ll check back and see if anyone wants to join me for an April 1 (FoolsDay) Master Cleanse. Good luck to you all this week!
Carmenthia, the book never says anything about probiotics during the actual clense. However, if your taking anything in a pill form I advise against it. Just eat raw. There is nothing that a “man made” pill can do that natural fruits and vegetables cannot. “You cannot reproduce something that god has created, does man think he can do it better?” Fuzzy, thank you so much for your support! For all of ya’ll, I will be documenting my entire experience via video. When I begin streaming I will post the address! Good Luck to all of you. I begin tomorrow!
WOW!!...You guys sound like your doing GREAT! I started this morning. Camentina I tried doing the SWF and it is a no-can-do on my part! Evil, I can’t believe you have lost 2 lbs already Whaa Hooo!
Shutter Nutter, good call on not letting the food spoil lol!!...It’s crazy to do this, you almost have to plan weeks in advance, as far as scheduling is concerned. A friend of mine called me this morning and invited me to her “Birthday Dinner” at the Melting Pot and I had to kindly decline. I don’t think other people understand! Which brings up a great topic. While on the cleanse how have others responded?...I mean walking around with a Nalgene or cup all the time is bound to raise eyebrows! Does anyone have any interesting stories?
I’m Hungry…I’m Hungry…I’m Hungry
The only thing I can possibly think about is food at this point…not even raw food. I think hamburgers, crab rangoon, egg drop soup, manicotti, Moe’s Burritos, Chicken crispy Sandwhich, pintos and cheese, checkers burger (and I’m a vegetarian) GO FIGURE!!!
Oh, I totally AM!! I am almost done with day 1 and WOW!!... Carmentina, My boyfriend is a paramedic and will be going to medical school next year thats the closest thing I have to “medical supervision” lol :0) I wonder if I will loose any weight?...I’m not really doing this for that but…you cant help but wonder! Anywho…this is not as easy as I thought it would be…I’m def glad to be on here talking to all of you!...I can feel your support!!!
Thats crazy I was craving an egg last night too…Today is day 3 for me…I haven’t had an regular bowl movements…Is this Ok…Did it happen right away for you?
Today is Day 2, besides being quite exhausted I am STARVING…it’s crazy! I am very very very strict and have done EVERYTHING by the book, therefore I believe I am having some pretty amazing results. Yesterday I noticed that my skin actually started smelling of burning rubber which was an amazing sign of toxins being released. I have been very very very tired today BUT…the book said that this is supposed to happen. I am looking for ward to day 3. Nate (the bf) is also tired as well…I have been making every glass fresh which I think really makes a HUGE difference and if you can I would def suggest it!
I am NOW Regular! :0)
I am about to end my 3rd day of the diet…THe hunger has been much much better…it hasn’t been near as bad as the first 2 days. I was quite regular, I am begining to think I may be on the upside of all of this.
What is SWF?
I am begining day 3…and I feel great!
Oh no! Poor thing, that is such a terrible thing! Does the hunger get better?...I wish it would go completely away…instead it’s torturing me! I have had alot of trouble going to sleep (its the senna tea) I toss and turn! It does seem to be getting better! How much weight have you lost?
I’m ready to quit…these sleepless nights are killing me! I’m hungry and I am on my 5th day of no food. I think this detox is something you have to ease into…If I finish out these 5 days I will feel victoriuos because next time I can do it longer…I’m getting no sleep, last night I was dreaming I was pooping my pants, ended up I had to get up and poop….it’s really killing me!
I have cut my cleanse short…I lasted 7 days and will try for 10 days in a few weeks…it was tough!
I will be starting again on the 25th…I did five days before and I am shooting for 7 this time!
Hanging in there!!
