Re: Maintaining Weight Loss

Hi! Hope your first day is going well. The second thru 5th day were hard for me. I had headaches and was hungry off and on. But I did better when I added back a little of the maple syrup for a day or two.

This is my first MC, but I did 2 5-day juice fasts a month or so ago. I gained back 3-5 pounds right away (from the food in my digestive tract.) The first time, that was all I regained. The second time I started pigging out a few days after, and regained 8 of the 10 pounds I had lost. That's when I decided to try the MC.

I am only going to allow myself the 5 pounds max regain. After the MC, your stomach is smaller, so you're supposed to be satisfied with less food. So I'm going to eat small portions of raw food only. I still have 65 more pounds to lose, so I can't allow what I've lost to come back. I'm trying to lose 5 more pounds on this Master-Cleanse so that I'll stabilize at my current weight after the 3-5 pound regain.

Best wishes with your MC, and let us know if we can help with other questions. There are SO many supportive people here!
