Re: Master cleanser

Congratulations on taking this step!

You asked for advice?

Use the Celtic Sea Salt s for your salt water flushes (your tastebuds will thank you) ...and yes, DO the salt water flushes!

Drink LOTS of water...and if you need "help" drinking the water, squeeze a little lemon juice in it.

I found setting myself on a regular schedule for my lemonade's helped. I had my first between 8:00-8:30 and had them every 2-3 hours, timed so I had my last one at dinner time with my family. I had 6 a day. If you find yourself needing more, you can always have "one to sip on" for those tougher moments.

I didn't step on a scale until the day I came off the fast - I didn't want to be fixated on that number, I wanted to focus on what was going on inside me.

I lost 15 lbs in 10 days. But I approached the whole 10 days not as a weight loss program (though I do want to lose weight, and still need to lose more weight) but as a cleansing program, to get myself healthier so I can modify my eating habits and lose the weight I need to.

You will likely get cold - drink that mint tea, it will warm you up! Just holding the cup helped me, since it was mostly my hands and fingers that were freezing.

And keeping checking this board frequently - it is a godsend to find all these others here who are going through or have been through the same thing - the support and information provided are invaluable.

Good luck!
