Re: drink, drink, drink!!!!!

Sorry, but I must suggest to whoever is new to The Master Cleanse to please disregard this 3 bite idea. 3 bites of anything is only going to turn ON the hunger that you have worked so hard to shut OFF. By about day 3 of the cleanse, you are no longer really physically hungry anymore. Any other sensation you feel is all in your head. Now, if you go and give in to that one time, then you are going to find yourself giving in more and more. On top of that and the main point, as I stated before, now that you have the slightest amount of food in your digestive system, your body will want more.

The whole point of this exercise is to shut down your digestive system so your body can cleanse itself. If you have anything in your body to digest, it's really just a waste of time because it is back in digest mode and can't do the work that is necessary.

No one needs to eat anything on this cleanse. Whether you are 100 pounds of 500 pounds, you're gonna have some temptations to eat sometimes. We have all been through it. You need to stay strong and think about other things. Think about the positive things you will get as a result of the cleanse. The more time you allow your mind to become absorbed by thoughts of food, the more likely you'll go there. Thoughts create action. So, think about the strong will you have and the benefits you will achieve. Think about having a clear head and being motivated. Think about being healthy. Read The Master Cleanse over and over again until you can practically recite it. That will help motivate you.

By the way, I am on Day 1 of my 3rd cleanse. Just going for 10 days.
