Master Cleanse

[PiggieMamaKelly]

Well I'm taking the plunge into the 10 day master cleanse. I really just feel gross, like I don't eat enough "pure" foods. I do eat lots of veggies, but many times I mix them with highly processed foods. Like for lunch I had peas and noodles (the kind you get in the box with milk, butter, and powder fake cheese). I want to feel satisfied with pure, fresh foods and whole grains. Six months ago I ate far better, so I just feel like I'm slipping.

I also want to at least majorly cut down my dairy intake as I mentioned in a recent thread. Many people report that after cleansing their bodies of toxins they crave fresh foods and find processed foods to be gross.

I am doing the classic master cleanse with the lemon juice/cayenne/syrup mixture. I am starting this weekend because I will be able to be home to experience all the unpleasantries that involve the toilet, which are allegedly part of the initial couple days.

I was wondering if anyone here as done a cleanse, or has known someone who did. What were your results?

Can you post a link to the site you are using? Id like to try it. Also, do you put all the weight you took off back on?

I found the information in "The False Fat Diet" book. You should be able to get it at your local library.

Ortal, you can find the main site at TheMasterCleanse.com. It is based on a book by Peter Glickman, and there are all sorts of other websites that discuss it. (Just google it). It's not really promoted as a weight loss strategy, although you do lose some weight. I think you gain much of it back though. It's more of a detox than weight loss regimine.

As a Disclaimer: I am not advocating that anyone start this or any other cleanse withought consulting a medical professional. My main point in posting is to get others' experience with it, not to necessarily recommend it.
