I haven't heard of the Master Cleanser until a few days ago when Ellen talked to Beyonce about how she had lost some weight for a new movie. It was interesting, so I researched it and I found the forum. I read about what people were writing and I got more and more interested to try this for myself. I ordered the book, and it arrived right after my birthday. I read it and I got the maple syrup, lemons, cayenne pepper and the laxative tea and I was ready to go.
Yesterday was my first day, and I almost quit because of the internal salt water bathing. It was awful, but I kept thinking of all the benefits and I felt better in about an hour. The lemonade is quit plesant actually, and I read more info on the recipe and I have learnt that you can add more cayenne pepper. I am happy about this because it makes it taste like a meal (as much as it can), I love spicy food.
I felt strong all day yesterday, I even made it to the gym, and I did my cardio, some weights, not the usual number of sets though, and I also made it to the sauna to help get the toxins out of my body.
I had no medical reason of why I want to do this, I just knew I needed a cleanse and after what I read in the forum, it didn't seem to be impossible. I know I am only on the second day of the fast, but I haven't felt hungry yet. I got a little sleepy at around noon today, I took a 15 nap and I am fine. No head aches or any kind of pain.
I think of food but it doesn't make me feel hungry, just a programmed thing I guess.
My husband joined me in the fast this morning. He was laughing at me first, since he had not read the book, so we sat down and I explained it in a nutshell. He is pretty health consious, he takes his liquid vitamins and minerals every day, and he does work out sometimes.
He drank the tea last night and the salt water solution this morning. He said it was nasty and I do agree, but I told him it will do miracles (lol) you know what I mean!
I had a very fast reaction to the solution, and he kept saying it does not work for him, but in about half an hour, he was releaved.
I wonder how long he will be able to keep it up. He is a big guy and he works all day, I hope this will give him enough energy.
He has been complaining of shoulder pain for a couple of weeks now, I hope it will help him. He used to be a professional boxer back in the days. He is not used to feeling weak.
To be honest I was afraid of the first couple of days, because I love my coffee, and I didn't do anything to prepare for this fast, in fact, the day before I started, we went out for lunch and I even ordered dessert, becuase I knew I wasn't going to eat for at least 12 days. And I made sure that I don't leave anything in the fridge to spoil either, so I even had a big dinner.
So far I can only say good things about this fasting, it has been pretty easy for me.
I took some measurement of my body, and I have already lost 2.5 inches of my waste. I want to loose about 10 pounds with this diet. We'll see...
