Day 15 and 16 Last Days! 17 y
Ending the Fast, Day 15, Day 16, Master Cleanse
Day 15 I started longing for food. The end was near and it was tough. I actually got nauseous on my run, I had to stop and pretend to stretch as I fought the waves of bile on the street corner. Truth be told, it was too hot to be out, and my sense of smell is really keen on this thing. Everything reeked of feces, or dog pee, or garbage or exhaust. I had to turn around and limp home slowly.
Day 16, I didn’t make it to the end. I had some solid food. Cake actually. Birthday cake. My favorite. It was my mother-in-law’s birthday amd ”just a little” I told myself. I ended up having ... read more Day 13 and 14 17 y
Day 13 and 14 Master Cleanse
I was doing my toungue scraping and realized that I have all these little inflamed taste buds on my tounge! Detox symptom? Anyone know what that means?
I’ve gone to every other day with my senna tea as I’ve passed the 10 day marker with it and it says on the box to only use for ten days. Now, though, I’m getting solid waste every time I use it. And the cramps are less, so thank God for that.
Still 12 pounds down. Solid. Scale not budging. I think I’m going to go on a wind sprint workout today. That REALLY works. On the other days I do Debbie Seibers Slim in Six series and her ... read more Day 12 17 y
Day 12 Master Cleanse
12.5 pounds down today. People are asking me what I’m doing and I feel like the Pied Piper of the Master Cleanse. No major detox symptoms to date. Big Day 14 is coming up.
I went for a 40 minute wind sprint workout today and had plenty of energy. But yes, I am thinking about what I’m going to eat when I’m off. I’m going to the restaurant Raw the first week of solid food!
5 days left but I don’t even need a countdown. I’m just fine!

Day 11 Master Cleanse
Stayed up SOOO late last night, I’m exhausted. I read on Dr. Weil’s website today a pretty shabby review of the Master Cleanse. But elsewhere he RECOMMENDS juice fasts. So what’s wrong with this juice fast? He says that people normally regain all the weight and have a harder time keeping it off after this one. Of course my mind says, ”yeah, if you’re not exercising and are eating pizza.” But he planted a seed of doubt.
In the meantime, I feel fine. I’m almost jealous of the big ups and downs and spiritual breakthroughs other people say they have. I just feel normal. No change sinc ... read more Day 10 17 y
Master Cleanse Day 10
Fixed another great meal for friends, went to a cocktail and sushi party tonight and had no problems sticking to my lemonade and water. Body feels fine, I stayed up until 3 am with no caffeine! Other than a little tiredness, I was able to keep going.
People are surprised that I don’t eat, but it doesn’t bother them as long as it doesn’t bother me!
Down 10 pounds today.
Didn’t do the tea tonight, I want to sleep as long as I can.

Master Cleanse, Day 9, easting psychology
I had a little stress enter my life today, and I wanted the comfort of food. Instead I had to deal with it head on. And I did. And it’s done. Tonight we had friends over for a barbecue and I fixed my favorite foods. It wasn’t a test until later in the evening when I was REALLY tired and ready for bed. That’s when the food starting whispering to me...but when they LEFFT and I was cleaning up. That’s when the real war began.
I’ve always been a food hoarder from a VERY young age. My mom saw that my appetite was larger than my little body at about age 4. I could eat like a horse, an ... read more Day 8 17 y
Master Cleanse Day 8
Getting just a little hungry...wanting the kids’ mac ’n’ cheese. I made lunch for my fiancee today with no problem, but the evening food smells seem to hit me harder. It’s more the social aspect of food that I miss though. Restaurants, the warm and cozy priviledge of having whatever I want and being served. Kicking back a little wine. Even coffee sounded good today for the first time. Not because I was tired, but because I wanted some.
But then I think how long I’ve stuck with my program and I’m totally impressed by myself. And THAT is enough to keep me going.
I had some stomach ... read more Day 7 17 y
Master Cleanse Day 7
I thought this was supposed to be the hard day, but it hasn’t at all! No problems. Well, the smell of popcorn that my friends were having tonight smelled like popcorn, chips and cheese, pizza...all rolled into one. My sense of smell is REALLY strong.
I’m trying not to be the dork who talks about their newfound cleanse all the time but it’s hard. People say ”I’m depressed.” and I want to yell, you should try THIS!
Nothing more to report. Continuing on steadily. Oh, 8 pounds down and my waist lost an inch.. That’s GOT to stop sometime yeah? There has to be a plateau. I don’t mi ... read more Day 6 17 y
Day 6 of Master Cleanse
I was a little hungry today. Every time I’d drive past a restaurant, I’d point it out and say OH! I LOVE (fill in blank). Falafel, hummus, italian, California Chicken Cafe, Mexican. Anything. Plus I was a little cranky. If I didn’t know it was PMS I may think it was detox, but no, just my hormones acting up.
I measured the maple syrup in 1/4 cup increments today to see how many calories I actually took in through my 2 TBS servings, and it’s only around 700 calories. That’s REALLY a shocker that in 7-8 drinks I’m not tired and falling into bed. I’ve been going to bed at midnight, 1 ... read more Day 5 - Day 6 am 17 y
Day 5 of Master Cleanse
Day 5 yesterday was again, REALLY easy. I can’t believe this. Strangely I had some pain in the tendon that connects my hamstring to my pelvic bone. It’s a deep tendon that I hurt very badly when I was in college, doing the splits unwarmed up. So it was an odd sensation to have that pop up again. It’s funny to be so textbook. I read all these comments about people’s old injuries coming back and I thought, ”I don’t have any old injuries.” Oh, yeah except THAT one. But today it’s gone.
I got hives again last night from eating the coconut in my show, but at least I was given a VERY sma ... read more Day 4 17 y
Day 4 of Master Cleanse
Day 4 was very easy. There are only a couple times during the day when I go to long without a lemonade that I start to get that empty sensation in my gut telling me it’s time. Then if I’m out and about and can’t get to one, I start to get a little cranky 20 minutes later, but after a drink, I’m fine!
I went back to a work out for 45 minutes and found that I was bouncing off the walls. I had SO much energy! I feel great! My mood is stable, no depression, no anxiety, better focus.
Also, I finally went to Whole Foods and got Organic syrup...I know I know, terrible UNORGANIC syrup up ... read more Day 3.5 17 y
Day 3 update.
I keep reading that Day 3 is supposed to be hard, but it’s been so EASY! (Beware of the Liquid Leaks though. That SWF really does its job!) I’m not hungry at all, I have way more focus and a much better outlook than I have for weeks. I think the caffeine may have been my biggest problem all along. I can’t believe how refreshed and FINE I feel.
No headaches, no pain, no hunger. Just a lemonade every 2-2.5 hours seems to keep my blood sugar stable enough to keep me going!

day 1 -3 experience on master cleanse
So I’ve started this. I’ve been going through some depression, and I’m getting married, and I have been having problems with my ability to focus. I’m hoping this will get me back to center and give me some better perspective on myself and why I tend to emotionally overeat.
Day 1- Not hard really. I like the lemonade a lot. I’ve read other people’s blogs and they’re so focused on their BMs. I would always laugh, but suddenly I became very aware of my inability to go to the toidy. Number 1 yes. Number 2...that didn’t come until DAY THREE! Not really hungry. I was waiting for the ... read more |
