A couple of weeks ago I did the master cleanse. I did it for 10 days. It wasn't that difficult. Sometimes it was more of wanting to eat than needing to eat. Below is the diary of how I was feeling while I completed it:
First Day: Feeling pretty good, but my body is telling me to go get something to eat.
Second Day: Still going strong.
Third Day : Feeling a little weak so I drank some green tea. Really lifted my energy.
Fourth Day: Feeling okay.
Fifth Day: Starting to feel tired.
Sixth Day: My stomach feels like it has shrunk.
Seventh Day: I'm really not that hungry.
Eighth Day: Feeling energized.
Ninth Day: I believe that I have lost some weight, and is ready to eat.
10th Day: I made it through! I'm leaner and meaner!
I did this master cleanse with my sisters. All four of them. Actually it was my second sisters idea. I thought I would go ahead and try it. I highly recommend you do it with someone if you can. It is encouraging that way and if you feel like you might not make it through you can encourage each other to keep going. We would update how we were feeling on facebook and encourage each other. It really did help.
I learned that many times we are not hungry. It's all in the head. When I smelled food I became hungry, but once the smell of food faded I wasn't hungry anymore. You really can do anything you set out to do. You just have to stick with it. Sometimes I felt like I wanted to quit, but it was more of a desire more than anything. Why? Because I really wasn't that hungry. We also drank senna tea to clean out our systems. Basically, I went to the bathroom twice. Once I stopped eating I didn't have to go. So, I felt that was a good sign. I wasn't backed up.
After I did the master cleanse I really did feel a difference. I had eaten some bran cereal before I did the master cleanse, and let's just say you wouldn't of wanted to be in the same room with me, but after I did the cleanse I ate it again, and I didn't have any problems. That was another sign for me that my body did need to be cleansed.
The master cleanse is really a great way to help cleanse your body. Try it and see for yourself.
