I'm on day 14, feeling good. may go longer. still have lots of lemons and syrup and molasses and salt and tea.
my body really needed this cleanse. I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time and was really getting into some bad eating habits (again). Now that I've made a commitment to go 100% vegan this year, I think my eating habits will get better, although I know it's possible to be a junk food vegan. i've bought a lot of great vegan supplies and trashed everything non-vegan (except for some canned foods that I plan to donate as soon as I can figure out a place to donate them).
I'm not really craving food yet, and I usually do towards the end of a cleanse, so that's why I'm thinking I'll go longer.
happy cleansing all!

This is a reply to # 809,422Hey There,
GOOD for YOU...!!!...it's only DAY 8 for me but I want to go another week atleast.
I followed the Vegan path for 10 years in the 90's. It was an eye opener & a lot more challenging than it is today with all the Vegan awareness & food options available. Here in Seattle we have a great Thai restaurant called Araya's and it's all Vegan plus a Vegan Pizzaria...yum...!!!
Currently I do eat some fish mostly Wild Salmon and the occasional dairy product while I don't consume other meats & very little dairy. In fact since my last Master-Cleanse I started eating more dairy due to a new friends influence and the lb. increased dramatically. I found myself wondering if it was all in my head or an actual reaction. Being Vegan was great on many levels but I didn't like the rigid aspect of never enjoying certain things. It took a lot of discipline & surrounding myself with others for support. I would recommend finding that support like Vegan potlucks or restaurants with great options or purchase some cookbooks to get inspired.
If you don't already know about Nutritional Yeast it's a must for the Vegan diet. It can be sprinkled on any foods you would enjoy parmesan with especially on salads & soups. It's quite tastey & makes great alternative cheese with an addition of some nuts & oats. Here is one of my favorite cookbooks for great Vegan grinds. It's called: "The Uncheese Cookbook" I highly recommend this book...!!! One of my favorite recipe's is the Curry Cauliflower soup...soooo good if ya like curry.
Have you ever eaten a strict Vegan diet before? Are you already a Vegetarian? I personally think a slow transition is easier than going cold tofu.
Is this your 1st MC? Often while fasting I get really inspired to eat RAW Vegan afterwards & do for about 3 weeks then lo & behold it's just too hard in this cold climate.
Enjoy!

This is a reply to # 809,431Hi Splash!
Thanks for the tips. I will check out the Uncheese book, sounds great!
I've been vegetarian since 1983 (with occasional fish up until about five years ago), and it was quite a bit harder back then to even be vegetarian. Now it's a breeze with stuff like Boca Burgers! I tried 100% vegan before but hadn't really committed to it; this time I'm committed. About a month ago, I went to a book reading by Lee Hall, author of "Capers in the Churchyard," and I was convinced (it didn't take much because I was already about 95% of the way there anyway) that vegan is the way to go, not only for the animals' sake, but for humans and the environment.
I wasn't eating much dairy anyway, other than cheese (I haven't had milk or ice cream for years). But it's the ingredients that will be challenging - lots and lots of things have whey or milkfat or eggs in them. So it will require me to do more of my own cooking, which I think is healthier anyway than buying processed foods readily available.
In preparation for my 100% vegan diet, I bought big cans of both Nutritional Yeast and Yeast flakes. I also signed up with a delivery service in this area called "Door to Door Organics" who will deliver some nice (I hope!) organic fruits and veggies to me at a reasonable price.
I even got my dogs to go partially vegan (I still give them marrow bones, great for their teeth). I wasn't going to force veganism on them, but I wanted to try a vegan dog kibble to see if they would like it, and they LOVE it! They eat it straight out of the bag when with some other meat kibbles, I have to add some canned food to make it more appealing.
Take care and Happy Cleansing!

This is a reply to # 809,896I do 30 day cleanses once a year and shorter ones
in between. I feel really good about my bowel function
now so may just do the 10 dayers unless I feel the
need to do a longer one.
I love fasting in the summer. Lemonade and summer go
together sort of. I also like the 30 day cleanse since
it is supposed to take 30 days to ingrain a good habit
and The Master Cleanse gives me *time* to examine my
relationships with food and situations where I *use*
food. I have really made major progress using the
cleanse.
After the first 3-4 days on a cleanse, it gets easy
not to cave since you can really put the hurts to your
body breaking poorly and so there is much motivation
to stick with the cleanse. It is empowering on many
levels and people around me have initially thought
I was a little nuts but now they admire my willpower
and resolve. My own sense of commitment and self-trust
has also been amped and so the Master-Cleanse was a good platform
for me to launch *major* changes that I had been
wanting to do for years but had not found the right
*vehicle* for it.
My focus continues to grow and since I am someone who
is goal-driven, I have continued my personal good
body maintenance planning and look forward this year
to building on the successes of last year.
I wish you success also in your own health/healing
adventure~~!
be happy, be well,
Zoe
