Re: Day 1 again.........I'm starving!

I just found this forum and had to reply to your message. I started the Master-Cleanse diet lat friday. This is my first fast ever. I have not had a thing to eat since thur night...thats 4 days ago. I have been fortunate...I have had no hunger pangs...maybe because I try to have a glass of the lemonade every 2 hours. I have to say...this is the first time EVER I have been able to go without coffee and not suffer extreme headaches. When I ended the first day..I was amazed! You see...I am the type of person who has to be eating all the time. I snack so much its obscene!! For me to go ONE day with no snacks is almost impossible,..but here I am having nothing but the lemonade! I think it must have something to do with the lemon itself...and the small amount of carbs in the maple syrup. I am now gradually easing off the maple..from 2 T to 1 3/4. I dont want to go less than one because I want the benefits from the syrup. the first day I drank it at room temperature...but the second day I made it with hot water and love it that way! I am more satisfied because it intensifies the lemon flavor. I started at 188.7 lbs, and this morning was down to 183! Thats almost 6 pounds in 4 days. I am sure a lot of it is water...but who cares! I need to get down to 125 for my height (5'1"). My goal is to make it 10 days..then do the 5 day easing back to eating and then to eat more healthy wiht smaller portions. Of course if I hit 10 days and feel like it...i might go for 15!!

Good luck!
