    If you want to bring the lemonade with you somewhere. You should only mix the lemon and maple syrup. The syrup preserves the lemon, and then keep it in a brown paper bag or in the dark to prevent...

    What about those boiled sweets from health food shops? the ones only made from Xylitol? Would ice cubes from the trolly dolly work? Sipping water? I don't think it's gonna be easy to substitute the...
  4. My tongue was also still white on day 10....

    My tongue was also still white on day 10. Although the front and sides were healing nicely. Apparently the tongue is a map of the body and can indicate which parts of the body are most toxic. I chose...

    Look, I really don't know. It's just a feeling. I know when I look too thin. I know how I feel if I am under eating. And I know that love handles are surplus fat not something good to grab hold of. I...

    @BeingK8

    Your rebellious nature is really making itself heard. Yet you continue to succeed with what you truly want. Maybe you are allowing this because on a subconscious level you already know...

    Amii, do whatever you feel you must. Take care and best wishes until we hear from you again. :hug

    My tips for keeping the weight off and continuing to lose after the cleanse (if the body has not reached it's natural weight yet). This is what I have been doing.

    1) Exercise.

    2) Put more...

    I somewhat understand this. By day 8 I was really missing solid food. I wasn't really hungry, I just missed to texture and the joy of eating. I was getting jealous of others with food. It's that...

    I have mostly fruity days with a small amount of fat (usually avocado) and salad and/or veg for dinner. Some days I will have a cooked vegan meal if I fancy it. I have just found that after the...

    It is possible but it will be a journey. You will have to pay close attention to what you eat, how much and your weight. You will have to adjust and modify continuously until you get the balance...

    You know you are a raw vegan when... your pots and pans are the new fruit baskets.

    I can't speak for Amii but I recognise this mentality. I can often have an internal conflict between my perfectionist and rebellious voice. Their battling can unfortunately keep me trapped in...

    IMO this is completely normal. Body aches typify early detox symptoms. You will probably get backache next as the toxins re-enter your colon. All your previous food dependencies are rising to the...
  16. Feeling weak and woozy was one of my fears...

    Feeling weak and woozy was one of my fears especially since I do a labour intensive job.

    I timed day 1 & 2 on a Thursday and Friday so I could get through the first few days looking forward to...

    But fruit is carbs. You have cleverly replaced fruit with sprouts.

    But I'm still unsure it is better for you nor will it reduce your tooth decay (unless your dental routine improves).

    Fruit is...

    Day 6 wow! You have taken it so much in your stride. I had hit the hump by then and it was becoming an uphill struggle until Day 7 was over. Well done!

    Raw and sometimes cooked vegan.

    Lots of fruit, smoothies, salads and sometimes dehydrated foods. I do allow cooked vegan for nights out and visiting friends or if I just feel like it. Sometimes...

    Whoa-raw. I told myself anything less than 10 days would be a waste of my time. It seemed to work! I stuck to it.

    You didn't mention any fruit. Fruit is the most excellent way to GET calories without irritating the bowels. Blend them, grate them or just chew them up real good. Just keep the varieties separate...

    I don't know if either of you cleansers read a book or just got the details off the net but these tricky moments on the cleanse are called 'a healing crisis'. It can be physical or emotional....

    @Joyce09 I believe the 'soup' means soup but preferably only the broth to begin with.

    The master cleanse does not assume you are already raw but more likely a SAD eater hence the soup suggestion....

    I think the idea behind orange juice is because it is the most subtle transition from the lemonade to solid food. Your body has not had to digest anything solid for 10 days so orange juice is ideal...

    How about only chewing after a meal? It is when the teeth need it most and the stomach has food to digest?
