Master Cleanse - Day #1

[Mindy Sue]

I just finished my salt water :eek: - I forgot to drink my tea last night, by the time I remembered it was too late. I have to drink it around 6 p.m. or I cannot go to the gym early in the morning for obvious reasons. :o If anyone would like to join me on this journey, please feel free! I'd love to have a MC buddy to keep me company! :D

Hi Mindy:

I posted on a MC thread yesterday. My office mates (3 of us) are on a five day MC. We started yesterday. Supoprt really helps. We are all experiencing some of the cleansing effects. I had a head ache this morning which I know is caffiene withdrawal. I have not been totally raw lately and driniking coffee:( I am feeling better now. Drank some herbal tea and that helps.

Good luck on your cleanse!:D

count me in! I just finished reading about your 30 day master cleanse! Congratulations! how many days are you aiming for this time?

Not joining you but I wanted to send some love and support.

Thanks Cathy!! I am sooooo ready for this! I have a few events that could possibly interrupt me - but I will just see how it goes:) I find that I can usually stay on course through most events. My in laws are coming to stay with us next Thursday - but again, I may be discreet enough that they dont even notice:) Just finished squeezing and getting an insulated lunch bag filled with my supplies for the day. I will be away from home until about 9pm tonight. Now I am off for a run -yeah!!! Have a great day everyone!!

just seeing who is online. I am struggling a bit - it is first day struggles - I know I just have to be strong. My weakness is grapes! I could eat them by the bushel! I have been "peeing" all day:) - I usually never leave my office so it is a big change!!

[Mindy Sue]

An awesome day! I went to bed with a headache, woke up with one, but I feel great now. Had a terrific workout, and got my housework done. All is good.

I am not going to continue the swf - it does nothing for me, but I will do the tea for a few more days.

Day 3 for us here. The boss was teasing us about peeing all day and then he ate a box of raisins. Well lets suffice to say he was doing more than peeing :eek:(he's not on the MC, but tried some of ours). We have all experienced some headaches. Bill, one of my co-workers sips the MC slowly all day and says that he feels better doing it this way.

Way to go master cleansers!!! I've done the mc serveral times and though I'm not doing it now....I know how important it is to get cheered along.

Happy cleansing!!

I'm getting ready to do the MC and then will be going raw. I'm so excited. I've been vegetarian for 11 years and was vegan for my first pregnancy. I can't wait to feel the changes in my body and hopefully get a handle on my Type 1 diabetes.

Wow... it's day #7 already. Boy time flies. Everything is going great - I feel wonderful and am not experiencing any horrible detox symptoms except bad breath. Yesterday we spent the entire day out on the boat, I have to admit I did miss eating all my raw food out there. It is so beautiful & relaxing out on the lake and I love eating a big salad and fresh fruit. Thank goodness we have a few more weeks of summer left :)

I hope all you others on the MC are doing well!

Here it is day #10 already. I am shooting for 15, and know I will make it. I feel fine except I am a little tired in the afternoon - no worries, I just take a little nap ;)

Your friends still with you on day 10?

[Mindy Sue]

I don't know. I haven't seen any posts lately... :confused:

Hey Mindy Sue...
I've read about the master cleanse and watched some youtube vids...
What are your objectives for that... lose weight/cleanse?

What kind of results are you getting on Day #10??

[sidrah]

I don't know. I haven't seen any posts lately... :confused:


Sorry. I thought you were the one who had said workmates were doing this with you...that was what I meant. I re-read and saw it was someone else in response to the original post. Good to see you are sticking with it and can see what to change for your own needs!

Today is day #12 - and I still feel wonderful. We went up north to our cabin for the weekend to see out of town relatives - it was a little difficult, having to explain why I wasn't eating. They just couldn't/wouldn't understand. Other than that it went great.

My reason/reasons for doing a cleanse is because I have lost focus with my raw eating. I went an entire year eating completely raw and decided to try to take a day off - BIG HUGE MISTAKE. During the days that I didn't stay raw, I wasn't eating junk food, I was eating clean food with no preservatives or artificial junk in it, but it still wasn't raw. I am simply trying to regain focus so I can start eating right again - losing weight is just a bonus for me! I was already at my goal weight so it didn't matter if I lost weight or not.
