I have lost 10 lbs, and am eager to keep it off. I have gone running (4 miles) a few times during the fast, and I walk about 10 miles a day (I don't have a car) and go swimming several times a week, so I would consider myself to be someone who exercises regularly. I could really use some good advise on how quickly I can up my calorie intake. I figure I have been averaging 600-700cal/day on the cleanse and prior to the cleanse, I needed 1800cal/day to maintain (which would explain the 10lb loss!).
Can I start with 700cal/day for a week, then move to 800cal/day for a week, and so on? Or is that too slow? I want to avoid making my body think I'm never going to eat again. I would really like to get back to an 1800cal/day maintenance level before doing another fast in December.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
Oh, if it's useful, I am a 27 y/o female and this is my first fast.

This is a reply to # 240,631You must be in amazing shape allbanni! Congrats on finishing the cleanse!
I don't know much about how many calories per day after coming off.. but did you already go through the next 3 days of prescribed diet as listed in the book? ie. 1st day after cleanse is OJ only, 2nd day... etc.
You might also try searching curezone for- that should pull up any relevant forum pages.
Sorry I can't be of more help! Best wises!

This is a reply to # 240,631do weight bearing exercise... lift weights! This builds major muscle (smaller than fat) which IS your metabolism.
Best,

This is a reply to # 240,631Hi Allbanni,
A friend of mine did the Master-Cleanse for 10 days. He lost about 15 pounds. Over the next 3 weeks or so, he lost an additional 10 pounds while off the cleanse and is now in amazing shape.
Anyway, after coming off the cleansing procedure, what he did was alternate between eating higher carb and lower carb days; lifting weights on the higher carb days to build muscle, and doing cardio on the lower carb days to burn fat. This kept his body in great balance and he was able to raise his metabolism effectively.
He didn't measure out the calories, but he did eat 5-6 small meals every day, careful not to overeat too much, which was his problem before the cleanse. He said he ate until he was content, not until he felt full.
So basically it worked like this: Monday was low carb, Tuesday was high carb, Wednesday low carb, Thursday high carb, Friday was low carb, Saturday high carb, and he kept Sunday low carb. Then he repeated the same thing over again the next week, with Monday low carb. His intent was to get more cut so he did two back to back low carb days (Sunday and Monday). I'm sure if you want to build mass, you would make that Sunday a high carb day.
Anyway, the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism, so I would guess you could just use that as a rule of thumb.
Good luck on your post cleanse lifestyle and keep posting! We all love to hear about post cleanse experiences and developments.

This is a reply to # 240,705Ther is actually a guy out ther, who promotes that kind of diet. His name is Jay Robb and he's the author of "The Fat Burning Diet". I am also planning on eating that way again after this cleanse, because it has worked well with me before. Jay Robb has a website called http://www.jayrobb.com
