Of course, as with anything else, this answer is going to be different for everyone!! The book says that you can do the Master-Cleanse 4 times per year. But if you can go anywhere from 10-40 days on the MC, 4 times a year would seem a little much if you did 40 days each time!!!

My first fast was 14 days, and I was ready to start again after a week!! I ended up waiting 6 weeks because my husband decided that he wanted to try it with me, and I had to get his liver flushed, clean up his diet, wean him off of caffeine, etc.

My second Master-Cleanse was also 14 days, and it was in July so it'll have been about 3 months. I'm definitely "chomping at the bit" to start this one!

I've done some one dayers here and there and several liver flushes, so I've still been getting some minimal "fast time" in.

I think 30 days is good. Just listen to what your body is telling you - that's the main thing. If it's not ready, then don't start. Wait another day or two. I tend to feel miserable when I don't listen to my body and forge ahead with a Liver Flush or day of fasting.

Good luck to you!

Beans can be tricky early in a break. A small amount (like 4 oz) chicken breast would be better. Tuna packed in water is another affordable protein item.

Keep at it!

Hi Buckeyes!

I am so thrilled that your breaking of cleans is going so well. It is nice to hear someone is having a good time with that!

Breaking for me has been intresting. Maybe because the cleanse went so well? haha. So far for the last 5 days i have been getting horrible tummy pains. basiclly unbarabel. I know my stomach is getting used to it again and is possibly telling me something. it has been very hard chasing my son with cramps and churning stomach. Slight indigestion to. I have even gone back to oj for a day. Today i started my day off with oj. then for lunch i had 1 teaspoon of plain organic yogurt-suggested by zoe. I also really needed to try something diffrent so i made up some whole grain rice, and had maybe an 1/8 of a cup of that. i felt nacious for a bit but then i felt great! for dinner well. i started a fresh batch of soup. and i am debating on trying the broth or just having oj.

Day by day, and yes keeping things simple and clean. hopefully this will pass. I have a feeling i wont be enjoying to much of turkey dinner this weekend (which sucks couse i am cooking for everyone. haha) but that will be fine, and maybe the following day i can add some turkey to my soup (get some protien)

Other then the tummy pains. i feel great! lots of energy when its not hurting. my son and i did tuns of yard work, and cleaned up all the dieing vines etc. did some final mowing for the year. Harvested some ripe tomatoes, herbs, carrots, etc. and hauled all that scrap wood my fiancee has laying around from his work down to the beach for saturday bonfire. We were busy, but everything looks good!

Take care Buckeyes. keep me posted on your progress!
