MC: New: Raw Mastercleanse with dark Agave?

[LightLover]

- Anyone done a mastercleanse with the following product:

* Raw, certified organic, unfiltered Dark Agave Syrup (also called Dark Agave Nectar), instead of maple syrup, doubted to be raw?

- this could be a real raw Mastercleanse, since the
MAXIMUM PROCESSING TEMPERATURE is 149˚F :p

- Any toughts welcome

I currently do the master cleanse with agave and I consider it a raw cleanse. :)

And do you like it this way?

Maybe you could use dates and strain it, or raisins for a richer flavor?

[livingatthetop]

Yes I love it allot. It tastes just like those lemon head candies :)

I am now on the cleanse and got very constipated, and took a laxative and I want to know if I should continue the fast? :confused:

FYI, maple syrup isn't doubted to be raw... it is 100% certainly NOT raw.

Maple syrup isn't raw. Neither is the dark agave. Only the light variety that states "Raw" on the label is raw. I spoke with a rep at the company to order raw dark and was told it was heated to a temperature much higher than 108. They also advise me that there was a raw and a non-raw variety of the light. Sorry for the bad news on the dark agave--was really looking to try it myself.

I am doing the master cleanse--on day 6 today--using maple syrup. Feel great thus far and plan to break the fast after 10 days unless my body says to break it sooner.

Good luck and please post your progress if you procede with your fast so we can cheer you on!

Yeah, 149 degrees wouldn't be raw.

I assume you could do it with the raw agave, though. I haven't done the MC in a couple years. I did it with syrup way before I was attempting raw.

Forgot to add that I liked the lemonade. :)

For the ones doing the mastercleanse:

* how much lemon/lime juice do you take per day (expressed in lemons/limes)?

The recipe calls for 10 oz. of filtered or spring water, 2 T. lemon or lime juice, 2T maple syrup, and 1/10 t cayenne.

I have been using lime juice since they were on sale 6/$1 and the lemons were too firm at my favorite store. I just use eye the cayenne quantity as not sure what 1/10 t would be. Can use 1 to 2 T maple syrup if desired although the book states not to adjust the quantity of fresh lemon juice.

Good luck on the cleanse!
