starting the Mater Cleanse today

[catherinethegreat]

Hi All,

I'm starting the MC today.I decided that it will be of benefit to me since I"m trying to rid myself of the toxins of steroids and other medications that my doctor had me on - that I've weened off of in the past month. I'm holding a lot of water - as a result of the steroid use and intuitively I'm feeling that the MC will help flush it out - or atleast help the process.

I've never done the MC before so I'm curious about how it will go and what it will be like when I crave food - or one of my coconut smoothies! I have food still in the fridge which is probably good since the other options are Jerry's choices and that would be meat - dairy - coffee - etc. Blech

Anyhow - thought I'd post it out in the opne - since I know a lot of you have dont this before - I'd love support!

Catherine,

I am going to join you. I was planning on starting today anyway. I did it once before about a month ago and I loved it. Good experience!

Hi there - I'm so glad to have a teammate!

I was just going to look on the board to find out how they would make the warm water mixture?

Like how much of what - with what.

I'd prefer to make a bunch of it and sip it all day - then make a little bit and have to keep making it.

What did you do?

Are you talking about what the measurements for the ingredients are? I'm not sure what you mean by warm water.

I mixed mine up as I went as suggested in the manual but I hear that some people mix up the entire days worth all at once. I used fresh just so that I could get all of the benefits from teh fresh squeezed lemon!

Let me know what you mean and I'll try to answer!

i used warm water - but I don't think it's necessary. I don't have the book so I'm just going off what I've read here and on the internet.

I made 50oz with and I must say it had more taste then I thought it would.

I think I'll make a gallon of it tomorrow so I can just sip on that all day long.

I'm trying to drink water - by itself too.

Man I'm just tired. I would usually eat - snack - all day long - and it's just making me want to go to sleep without all the snacking!

How is it going for you today??

Hi all -

Today is day 2 of the MC for me and I was doing great today - until now.

I just want an avocado...or a salad....or hummous....


Then Jerry heated up the reuben sandwish he had from the restuarant we went to Friday - And boy does it smell good....I just want to walk by and pick it up and run out the door and shove it in my mouth!!!!!!!!!

I'm so hungry I'm so hungry I'm so hungry...

Why am I doing this again ?? I can't remember.

All I can think about if FOOD. ANY kind of food.

Today Taco Bell was in my mind. I don't even care what it's made out of.

lol.

I hear that after day 3 I should feel different - not so hungry.....

But today is day 2 and I don't want to do this anymore

Luckily Jerry won't let me eat because he knows I want to do this.

I feel like laying down and going to sleep.

Tired and hungry.

Boo hoo.

lol.

Hope it changes.

I'd LOVE to lose the puffiness from the steroids.
