Hi everyone, :o)
I'm pretty mad at myself right now!
I hid my username because I'm embarassed.
I'm doing the Master Cleanse, well, kinda.
The very first time I did it, I did it for 40
days! I was so proud of myself. When I started,
I wasn't sure I could make it the ten days! My
first intention was not for 40 days but it was
easy so I just keep telling myself I'll go
another ten days!
Now, I can't even make it ten days without
eating! I'm not eating regular food. I just
have been eating raw almonds & pecans and not
everyday.
I'm drinking my six lemonades and plenty of
water, my lax tea at night and the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) in the
morning. I'm doing it all right EXCEPT for
eating the nuts!
I can't really call it the Master-Cleanse if I'm eating!
I'm just wondering if me doing everything by
the book, of coarse except for the nuts about
every-other day, if I'm am still detoxing my
body?
This time doing it was more for weight loss.
I recently found out I have Lymes Disease which
makes it VERY hard, if not impossible for me
to loose weight (others with Lymes have the same
problem too). I gained weight steadly until I
was 50lbs. over weight! I was in excellant shape
and solid muscle before that! I couldn't understand
what was wrong among other health problems. But
I could talk about that forever! Anyway, nothing
has worked for weight loss up until the Master-Cleanse that
I did for 40 days. I lost 27lbs. and gained about
8lbs back in about 2 1/2 months, so I think that
that's pretty darn good. I eat very healthy so
I'm thinking once I get down to the weight I
want by doig the Master-Cleanse and cleaning out my body of
all the junk and helping it start repairing itself,
that I should be able to maintain my weight. I'm
also seeing an Alternative doctor that has me
on Bio Active Homeopathic LYM D-HP and Lym D. I
noticed it working the first week I was taking
it. A real life saver!
I was so focused the first time doing the MC and
I know I can do it again but it's been so damn
hard!!! I have to keep asking myself, "What's
more important, eating a few nuts I'm craving or
getting down to the weight I want to be".
I'm thinking that the nuts are preventing me
from loosing the weight too!
Very counter-productive!
Anyway, I just had to vent.
Thanks for listening.
Any encouragement would be helpful!!!

MoreThis is a reply to # 902,897Starving yourself isn't going to do you any good in the long run. Your body will want to compensate eventually and when we're starving it has a way of hanging on to the fat! You're going to make yourself iller if you keep this up. Well this is my opinion anyway.

MoreThis is a reply to # 903,154Thank you for your concern although I'm not actually starving myself. I am doing The Master Cleanse which has all the nutrients your body needs while on the cleanse.
Yes, I'm taking in less calories than normal but not actually starving.
I know it slows your metabolism and that's why I tell anyone wanting to do the MC
to loose weight that they can't go back to eating the way they once did. In my case, the reason for my weight gain was because of Lymes, not because I ate horrible. By doing the MC, your body actually wants to eat healthier foods and it helps get your body back on the right track.
Take Care.

I did realise that your weight gain was due to illness and not overeating.
All the best on your road to being healthier!

This is a reply to # 902,897it is my first time doing The Master Cleanse and i am on my 4th day. it is hard but to actually see someone doing this for 40 days is wonderful! i dont think you should be mad at yourself, it is just a matter of self control as i was told by many. if you were able to do it the first time for 40 days, this second time around should be a breeze! you have already proven that you were so much stronger psychologically! so get rid of them nuts!- Re: I'm pretty mad at myself!!! #72499

The way I'm feeling now, I look back and think; "How in the heck did I do it that long!" The funny thing is that it was easy then but not now. I think it's like you said, I'm not focused and not as psychologically strong as I was the first time.
It's a matter of willpower and determination!
By the way, how are you doing? Is this now your 6th day?

This is a reply to # 902,897I'm not a pro on the MC. I just did it for the first time about a month ago. I did it for ten days. I just couldn't see myself going any further. Now I wish I would have gone a little longer. Maybe next time. As for your question, I really don't believe you should be eating the nuts on the MC. You are supposed to give the digestive system a rest, but by eating the nuts, you are not. I'm sure you can do it correctly because you did it before. You probably should post the question on the Master-Cleanse forum or the modified Master-Cleanse forum. These forums have some people who seem to be experts on the MC.
You don't have to hide your username, because you should not be ashamed of who you are. We all are a verylong.................... way from being perfect. Besides, who are we to judge you. Sorry to hear about your LYMES disease. I have never heard of it before. I hope you lose your weight so you can gain your self confidence back. No matter what your weight is you must never be ashamed of who you are. You mostly should concentrate on be healthy.
Be Blessed,
GgirlAdvertisement

You are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words.
Yeh, I know, I shouldn't be eating nuts!!! I know that I'm still doing some
cleansing, just not to the extent that I could be if sticking to the Master-Cleanse strictly.
Yes, we are a long way from being perfect, but that doesn't mean that we aren't going to pay the conseqeunses of our actions and then feel the guilt when you do something that you know was wrong, at least if you do have a conscience. And that serves us as a protection as long as we listen to it. :o)
I'm not ashamed of who I am, but more of what I seem I can't control this time around. I know I CAN do it, IF I put my mind to it and focus! I have to ask myself, "What's more important, getting down to my goal weight or eating a few nuts that I can have anytime once I end my MC?"
My goal is to be healthy and feel good again, not just about how I look, but also how I feel. Both my first Master Cleanse (40 days, yeah) and my homeopathic treatment I'm on for the Lymes Disease has put me in the right direction.
Thank you for your encouragement!

This is a reply to # 902,897I'd like to throw in a couple of my thoughts on this.
I don't think that you would be getting that much cleansing done because of the nuts.
They would be doing a good job of starting up digestion and it would take a couple of days for the cleansing action to get going again.
The other thing is, that I have observed that many of the people that have done long fasts quite often only do shorter fasts thereafter. Some will struggle to do ten days.
Not sure why this is, buts its just an observation.
It may be to your benefit to set your goals to a shorter cleanse and go for that.
As for weight loss and lime disease there are other areas you could concentrate on that would be beneficial for those.
One would be to get as much aerobic exercise as you could comfortably fit in.
Bike riding is fantastic for increasing metabolism.
If you bike ride in the sunshine you get the combined benefits of the two. (Andreas Moritiz writes about this combined benefit in his book - Timeless secrets of health and rejuvenation. - I believe he has a forum here on Curezone).
There are superfoods that would help build up the body and aid against any disease.
Two that I'm familiar with are wheatgrass and the other is sprouted seeds or sprouts.
I grow both at home.
Ann Wigmore popularized both these foods back in the 1970's.
She was a very sickly woman in her fifties and with diet alone found herself when she was in her eighties to be as healthy as a twenty year old. With all her gray hair turned back to normal too.
You can Google her name and find books that she has written.
Most of all, the body will heal anything, its just a case of giving it what it needs to do so.- Re: I'm pretty mad at myself!!! happyhorizons

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
Yeah, you're right, I'm not getting the full benefit from the Master-Cleanse if I'm eating nuts.
It's funny that you said that many who have done the Master-Cleanse in the past for a long period now struggle to do 10 days! I've found that to be true in my case.
Since I'm now using the Master-Cleanse for weight loss, I've been doing shorter fasts, not really because I want to, but because it seems like there are so many things going on in the summer-grad parties, weddings, showers, vacations, etc. that I only can do about 10 days. Actually though I'm ready to go off for two, three days then I go back on it. This last time I was doing great up until the 6th day then here came the nuts again! If I REALLY tried I could have fought it. I'm pretty happy with what I've accomplished. I've lost a total of 15" and 32lbs. I'm going back on this week after I do a liver flush, it's been awhile.
I just bought some Magma Plus from Green Foods that I put in my juice in the morning when I'm not on the MC. I would probably be better if it were fresh like yours. I'vew been taking enzymes for awhile now among other supplements. I need to get more aerobic exercise. I'm so busy and it's late by the time I get home from work that it leaves little time and energy to exercise. One person in the MC Forum said she power walks like three miles in the morning before work and roller blades 7 miles after work! I thought to myself, does she have a family to take care of? I mean if she works a full time job, which I don't think she said if she did or not, by the time you get home, make dinner you have but a couple of hours before going to bed and then you do it all over again. I just don't have that kind of time. I'm not trying to make excuses either, but I don't pay anyone to do things for me. My husband and I do it ALL! Clean house, cut grass, always doing something to our house(Our business is handyman-remodeling, etc.), just things that need to be done, staining, painting, new windows, roof, yes we do it all - ourselves! :o) So as you can see, I'm not lazy, I love to work hard. It feels good.
I think I will google Ann Wigmore. I totally believe that one can heal themselves by giving the body what it needs.
Thank you and take care! :o)

This is a reply to # 902,897Hi,don't beat yourself up over this. 6 years ago, I did the Beverley Hills Diet. ZI really didn't think I could do it. Don't know what possessed me, I did the full five weeks and more. I could do it on and off for four years. I've encouraged evryone I knew to do it. Most of them could. Just after Christmas I was talking to a male friend, who was doing a no carb diet, and he said, waht i"ve battled with. He can go past carb, but he absolutely craves nuts, any nuts. I am the same. I can eat half a pound of nuts, until I get almost sick. I do not crave anything else, only these bags full of nuts. Now, I'm no scientist, but wonder if there is some connection on being on a diet, any diet, then wanting nuts. Note, both of us have been on a different diet. And now, I hear the same from you. What do you think?
