You should really not be physically hungry - you can always drink more of the lemon drink. I don't go by the 6 - 10 glasses limit when I'm starting a Master-Cleanse because I'd rather stay on it and drink more than go off because I'm too hungry. One day I drank *15* glasses!!! But it all evens out, because later on in the Master-Cleanse I only drank 4 glasses one day.

Now, mental cravings are another thing entirely and more difficult to combat. You just have to stay busy and take your mind off food, easier said than done.

Good luck!

Just push through, do whatever you can to keep your mind off food. It helps me if I read up on the net about The Master Cleanser , read testimonials of people who have gained better health, it's inspiring. Also just remember that food isn't going anywhere and it will be there when your done.
As far as a liver flush. I've never done one. I would wait until the end of the Master-Cleanse to do anything else so that you focus on this process and don't interfere with it at all.
Happy cleansing!!

I'm right there with you. Less than 24 hours and I'm super hungry. I'm going to be liberal with the lemonade today and go to Yoga tonight to help my body be happy. Hang in there. We can do it!

I just found this forum and had to reply to your message. I started the Master-Cleanse diet lat friday. This is my first fast ever. I have not had a thing to eat since thur night...thats 4 days ago. I have been fortunate...I have had no hunger pangs...maybe because I try to have a glass of the lemonade every 2 hours. I have to say...this is the first time EVER I have been able to go without coffee and not suffer extreme headaches. When I ended the first day..I was amazed! You see...I am the type of person who has to be eating all the time. I snack so much its obscene!! For me to go ONE day with no snacks is almost impossible,..but here I am having nothing but the lemonade! I think it must have something to do with the lemon itself...and the small amount of carbs in the maple syrup. I am now gradually easing off the maple..from 2 T to 1 3/4. I dont want to go less than one because I want the benefits from the syrup. the first day I drank it at room temperature...but the second day I made it with hot water and love it that way! I am more satisfied because it intensifies the lemon flavor. I started at 188.7 lbs, and this morning was down to 183! Thats almost 6 pounds in 4 days. I am sure a lot of it is water...but who cares! I need to get down to 125 for my height (5'1"). My goal is to make it 10 days..then do the 5 day easing back to eating and then to eat more healthy wiht smaller portions. Of course if I hit 10 days and feel like it...i might go for 15!!

Good luck!

How have you done on your cleanse?

I am on my first day & just started feeling hungry at 4:15pm. I have had peppermint tea but might have another lemonade.

I hope it went well!
