Ok. I wanted to detail each day of the cleanse, but I didn’t make the time to write. However day 13, nearing the end. I feel great, thinner, and craving a cooked meal. I recently purchased 8 cookbooks for $30 at the Printer’s Row Book sale weekend.
What I told myself over and over during the fast, “Eat smaller portions!!” I can eat any foods in small doses spread evenly throughout the day. Also note when I am thirsty vs hungry by the dryness of my tongue.
Its very hard to socialize on the cleanse. Usually when around people, food comes into play as dinner, snacks & drinking. “No thanks, just water for me.” And that savory food, I can almost taste the sauce oozing down my throat.
The first 6 days of the cleanse were the most difficult for me. The time when your stomach and bowels are emptied. The taste of salty water makes me nauseas, but I did keep on the laxative tea for 8 days. I still purge once a day. Its a hot & yellow mixture, yum.
I have 2 problems I have to deal with when I start eating regular food again. I use food to escape bad feelings & I feel guilty to leave a plate with any food on it.
Yesterday I spent drinking only liquids and gathering supplies.
I have prepared 8 lemonade cocktails for today.
At the end of the day around 10p, I was very tired and sleepy. Though I was working until 2a, I left at 130a. When I got home I put the kettle on to make some hot tea, then I sat down in a chair, and woke up 4 hours later. Luckily there was no fire. Is it a good thing to sleep like a rock?
I had 4 bottles today. I usually have around 5-8 bottles. Since I was out of the home at 3p, I only had 1.5 bottles, since it brings unpleasantness to the anus. I’d rather be at home if my anus is on fire!
I think it will be a good cleanse.
One of many cleanses “out there”.
What?
2 TBsp Fresh Lemon Juice [preferably Organic]
2 TBsp Grade B or C Maple Syrup
1/10 Tsp Cayanne Pepper
10 oz Water
Drink as many as you need for at least 10 days.
In the evening you should have an Herbal Laxative Tea such as “Smooth Move“.
In the mornings perform a salt water flush. Drink about 1 qt of water with 1 TBsp of salt. Wait 5 min and see what happens.
This is the 3rd time I have performed the Master Cleanse. My primary goal is weight loss. And to learn I don’t need to eat as much food as I consume. A fist size amount of food per sitting is all that’s really needed.
In addition, during the first 2 cleanses, I noticed my overly dry feet and dandruff were nearly diminished. I would like to confirm this finding once more.
