Could someone tell me what they do when this happens? I'm on day 3, and today my little friend decides to visit. Do you all continue, or do you stop the fast until it's over?
Yes you should continue--and NOT weigh yourself. I've noticed that when I fast during my period, I seem really bloated...and the numbers on the scale don't look very good! But if I drink a lot of water and stick it out, then when I weigh myself I find that i've dropped several pounds. So thats why its good to continue but just not weigh/measure your progress during those days.
okay ..cuz when i weighed in yesterday it went up 2lbs..i was like what the hell..then today my period comes and realized that that was the reason ..ive been drinking nothing but water and orange juice all day..so i can't wait for this to be over with
I am in the same boat and I should have realized that the reason my weight went up was the bloating. It just never occured to me until I read your post...thanks. As for doing the Master-Cleanse at the same time as a period, of course it is fine. In fact, if you are the type of person who gets cramps you probably will not. That's because your body is not having to work as hard digesting solid food, which can sometimes be the cause of certain types of cramps. At least this is what I have found.
