You probably already know how bad coffee is so I wont get into that. I got a real bad craving for coffee a few days ago so I brewed a whole entire pot, poured a cup and took a few sips. It really hit the spot and I would do it again if I got the craving.


In my opinion, you will probably loose most of the benefits from the fast if you continue to drink coffee throughout it. I would say start the fast and try to follow it as close as you can. If you absolutly feel you need it then go for it but try to get the maximum enjoyment you can out of the amount that you drink and don't beat yourself up for doing it.

I agree with surfsteve. I was a HUGE coffee drinker before my first Master-Cleanse - at least a pot a day, and usually more. I had the most horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches for the first three days but once they were over, that was it, and my addiction was over as well. I am so happy that I did not take any coffee then, because now I can take it or leave it - days go by and I don't even have a sip, which was unimaginable to me a year ago.

However, with all that said, I *did* smoke a few cigarettes on my first and second MC's. I didn't get a huge reaction, but when I smoked two cigarettes toward the end of my third MC, I got really sick the next day with detox symptoms and I am convinced that my fairly "clean" system was reacting strongly whereas before there were so many toxins that a few more didn't show up as much. So I guess my point is, you *will* get some benefits from the Master-Cleanse if you have a few sips, but you'll definitely be adding MORE toxins at a time when you are trying to eliminate ones you already have.

P.S. I have not had ONE cigarette since those two on my last MC, and I don't think I will ever smoke again. Whenever I get the urge, I remind myself of how sick I felt the day after I had those last two.....

I continued to drink coffee in the morning it helped as a laxative and as appetite suppressant well on The Master Cleanse I did not add extra Sugar however I used flavored creamer. I must tell you I did not use The Master Cleanse Detox, I used it for weight loss. It reset my body anyway and detoxed.
