Diary of my first MC
My first Master Cleanse
Date: 8/11/2006 2:30:04 PM ( 18 y ) ... viewed 1952 times Day 1: I prepared last night by drinking the laxative tea. I expected to wake up with an upset stomach during the night but didn’t. I also bought the wrong kind of sea salt so I didn’t get to start off the day with the salt water internal bath. I drank two 30 oz nalgenes of the juice today. Each nalgene holds three servings, so its easier to make it up that way. I put extra syrup in the first one cause I’m worried about dropping weight but it tasted weird. The second one was better without the extra syrup. Its definitly an odd combination, the tart lemon juice, the sweet maple taste and the burning pepper taste. About midday I got an upset stomach with neasea but only lasted about 30 mins. Laxative tea before bed
Day 2. I almost woke up with an upset stomach, but never really surfaced from sleep. Just woke up enough to become conscious of rumblings but nothing came of it. This time I drank the quart of salt water. Gross! I almost didn’t make it, the last few swallows made me gag. But it worked! I don’t think I’ll take the tea tonight cause my stools have been water. Its not a sick OMG get me to a bathroom feeling either, just a nice calm Gotta go feeling. And no upset stomach today, I think that was due to the laxative tea, or just that it was day one and my abdomen is like WTF? But it calmed down in about an hour. I drank three 30 oz nalgenes of the juice today. I’m completely out of lemons and cayenne pepper. I tried to save the third nalgene for the morning but just kept drinking it. It kinda grows on you. Skipped the laxative tea tonight.
I really feel Good. More awake and alert, more energy and willingness to do things. This is what I did this diet for, I’m tired of feeling tired!
Day 3. Make it thru the salt water better this time, it wasn’t as hot as yesterday (too long in the microwave) so I could down it faster. Having to go poopy before I even finished the quart! Its still watery so no tea again tonight. But I was done running to the bathroom in an hour, its really efficeint! I think the juice eats away and breaks up the yuck stuck to your intestinal wall, then the salt water flushes it out. When it firsts starts the poopy is very dark but gradually lightens, and by the end of the hour its clear! There’s definitly stuff in there I haven’t eaten recently!! I didn’t get all my ingredients and get home until 1pm, so I was starving! I drank three of the nalgenes again today (nine servings). That whole thing “one will not feel the pangs of hunger” is bunk. I definitly get very hungry if I’m not sipping this juice constantly. I’ve had to poopy a few times this evening, watery again and thank you cayenne pepper it burns. But nothing alarming. Don’t think I’ve lost weight. I still feel good, even worked out with weights this evening too. When I give myself a tummy massage I can hear all sorts of liquid sounds in there! Its interesting! I had a dream last night in which I ate a meal, knowing I wasn’t supposed to, and when I was done I thought “Oh no! I wonder if this will mess up my diet!” I remember hashbrowns with ketchup on them. Mmmm….. I miss eating. I don’t necessarily crave anything, but I miss the actual enjoyment part of eating. I think the juice has enough different flavors that it quenches any craving you can get.
Day 4. I woke up with fuzzy tongue!!! And its only day 4! Hopefully this means I’ll be done on day 10 and not have to take it to day 14. Rock on! I'm seriously craving foods. nothing in particular, but the action of eating and enjoying food, any food!!! my tongue is icky today and its kinda uncomfortable. burning a little. and it feels gross. i'm thinking about things like chicken strips with honey mustard sauce, subway, movie theater popcorn, cheese, really good cheese. Other than that I feel good still, alert and focused and willing. Energy level is good. I’ve been irritable yesterday and today, hopefully a cleansing effect. Not bad on the poopies, a few random stops to the bathroom for some “buttpee” (a very disgusting term but totally fitting). That SWF works like a charm! I'm thinking of taking the laxative again, maybe Thursday night so I don't have to go anywhere the next day (until three, but I should be okay by then). A girl at work has done this cleanse three times and is very into health and nutrition. She advised that I do a liver detox after this to finish out the cleansing process. So I looked up info (really great site http://www.curezone.com) and before you liver detox you’re supposed to do a parasite cleanse, otherwise you end up in lots of pain. There are a lot of forum for various health issues on that site and reading around it looks like A LOT of people go over 14 days and talk about the awesome mind related stuff that happens. Not sure I’ll go over 14 days, but its something to consider for the future. I’ll definitly make it to 14 days instead of ten, just be thorough.
I'll see how it goes. I drink this stuff really fast. I only brought two nalgenes to work with me today and I'm halfway thru the second one at 1:16pm. I gotta slow down or it won't last till I get home to make more! I starve when I'm not drinking it! I can't wait to eat again! My tongue is getting furrier and theres a gross taste in my mouth! It feels very unclean.
Day 5. No fuzzy tongue this morning, but my mouth quickly feels gross after brushing my teeth. I’ve felt good today. The SWF did its thing in about an hour. Needed a bit longer but had to go to work, so I had to stop at a gas station for a quick run-in. I was fine for the rest of the trip (30 min commute). I find that I get hungry pretty quick if I’m not sipping the juice, so its hard for me to not drink more than 9 servings. I know I’m allowed to drink more, but its more convienent to keep it at three nalgenes a day. The friend from work whose done this cleanse recommended I drink RoiBoi’s tea, its an anti oxidant tea. Her theory is that the cleanse loosens up the free radicals so taking an antioxidant is a good idea. Makes sense so I bought some and mixed it with a mint tea, put a little of the maple syrup in it too. It didn’t taste great but it wasn’t horrid either. I’m going to take the laxative tea tonight since I’ve not taken it since the beginning. I steeped it once and have let it sit for a few hours then I’ll steep it again, suppossedly makes the senna leaves stronger and more effective.
I think not being able to eat has made me cranky. I was fine until I got home around all the food, and then J & D cooked dinner and it smelled SO f***ing good and was healthy but I couldn’t have any. Debs had Taco Bell in the car with me last night and I drooled. I hate not being able to eat, its making me irritable! I love food so much! I’ve been esp sensitive to that chewing sound I hate. I feel restless and easily irritated. I can’t figure out what I want to do, nothing satisfies me, I can’t concentrate…all this emotional/mental stuff. If all this is related to the diet then GOOD cause the mental cleansing is 90% of why I’m doing this diet. Doesn’t mean its fun whilst in the middle of it. My stomach’s starting to feel upset, I wonder if its from the mint/roibois tea, it’s the only new thing I’ve had in 5 days. But last night when Debs was mad at me my stomach was upset too, I wonder if its third chakra related. All the emotions, it would make sense. I’m counting the days till this is over and I can f***ing eat again!!! Eating makes me happy!
Day 6: I don’t think the laxative tea does anything for me, so bugger it. SWF still rocks my intestines! Eight more days to go! I feel a little low on energy today, but not bad. We’re going to a cookout tonight which I know will be food torture, but I’ll endure!
Day 7: Uneventful. Bored with the diet. Ready for good food. Have been in a better mood.
Day 8: Uneventful. Very bored with the diet. There’s a cookout tonight at our house, Debs mom brought over a ton of veggies and the house smells SO good. Its torture!! Decided to end it at ten days. Have still been in a better mood.
Day 9: The SWF didn’t do its thing this morning. Normally I’m running to the bathroom before I’ve finished the quart, but this morning it took about 25 minutes for it to kick in. I only drank six servings yesterday, so perhaps that had something to do with it. I’m so ready to be done with this thing, I’m bored to death of it. Tomorrow is my last day, then I get OJ the next day, then soup the day after that! I can’t wait! I want sushi!!
Day 10: Uneventful. Last day! Yay!!
First day coming off: I did the SWF this morning to clean out all the juice I drank yesterday. Then I started on the OJ. I usually don’t drink OJ due to the acid content and I’m sensitive to acid, but considering the lemons are totally acidic to…not sure what to think. I did have a few severe but brief pains during the day, very sharp pains. My tongue got sore and split on the end which I felt was from the OJ so I planned on switching to soup early to get off the OJ. I made soup today and snuck little bits of vegetables all day as well as some broth. No stomach problems resulting from sneaking bits of veggies. Had a small bowl of mostly broth with a few veggies in it for dinner.
Second day coming off: No problems from the soup yesterday. Had OJ for breakfast, then a bowl of soup for lunch. Have had four bowls of soup total and will have another for dinner tonight. Have been gassy but haven’t had a poopie. Also no stomach pains. Feel pretty good! Had a little peanut butter this evening too, straight off the spoon. Yum!
Third day coming off: No problems so far. Ate a little oatmeal this morning and half a banana. Ate the rest of the banana on the way to work. Felt a little gassy and bloated this morning and read on curezone.com that a lot of people take probiotics after this cleanse to reestablish gut flora and that gassiness and bloatedness can result from the lack of proper flora (which gets washed out during the cleanse, which after those SWF I can totally believe!). I started eating soup for lunch and felt very full so I went to EarthFare with the intention of buying some probiotics and some a few shots of wheat grass to help me make a poopie. Then had a poopie while at EarthFare! Normal! No diarrhea! Yay! Ate dinner tonight, felt good.
Fourth day coming off: Still no problems. Haven’t been so good with food today, a few spoonfulls of peanut butter, a bit of chocolate. OH and had a very yummy slice of toasted banana nut bread soaked in butter this morning, two cups of tea and one cup of coffee this afternoon. Huge salad drenched in bleu cheese dressing for lunch, chicken and broccoli casserole for dinner. Will probably have a few more bits of chocolate too. Had a normal poopie earlier, but feel a little full from all I’ve eaten today. No regrets tho! I feel good! Time to post this diary online!
