Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
Several other nurses I work with have been doing this so I figured I'd give it a shot. I just recently lost 12lbs on the South Beach diet and would like to loose 20 more and I hear the mental clarity/energy you get from this is incredible!! My goal is the reccommended 10 days...We'll see :)
So far so good today, I'm drinking the lemonade with maple syrup, but I take the cayenne capsules instead of mixing it in the drink..It does the same thing without adding the spiciness to the lemonade.
I figured I'd keep a journal here on how I'm doing to keep my will power up and to also give any info to anyone who is interested in doing this too.
Wish me luck!!
Today's weight 8/27 : 155lbs

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
Wow please keep us updated! I tried it once for one day and didnt make it. The salt water flush was terrible.
Also what do you do if you go out to eat with friends?

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
You drink a mixture of water, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. You drink this without any food for a certain amount of time. They reccommend 10 days. There's many websites with a bunch more info. It sparked my attention when I read that Beyonce did this to loose the 20lbs before her role in Dreamgirls...It's supposed to be very good for your colon as well and many other things.
My coworkers have done this for over a week now and feel/look fantastic.
It's now alomst 7 pm, I'm at work now and doing quite well with no hunger pains.
Oh.. and to answer your question about dinner with friends....I work the evening shift 4pm to 12 am, and my DH and I are going away in 2 weeks. So we have no plans for the next 10 days...I made sure to plan it accordingly or I'd never last...lol

For 10 days, all you consume is that drink? I think I would die!

How did you get through the Salt water flush?
Drinking it was one thing, but the after effects were just so bad!

LOL...The amount of maple syrup you add to the drink is actually plenty of calories/vitamins/nutrients so it keeps your glucose level at a stable point so you are not really hungry....When your blood sugar drops is when you get a hunger pain. Being stable prevents the spikes and drops of blood sugar.
I'm almost done with day 2 and have not really experienced any hunger pains.

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
Ok..To be hnest, I could not tolerate the sat water flushlol I gagged so much I almost threw up after 1 chug.
I'll figure out something to take its place.
So, I am on day 3 which they say the first 3 days are the worst, then it gets real easy.

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
Can I ask....how often is it making you go to the bathroom? I am wondering if a person can work & not be in the bathroom the whole time.

That's awesome! I must say I am following your thread so keep posting!! For some reason, I pictured the cleanse including bowel movements all day long.
I may want to try this in the future!

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
Where did you purchase the ingredients from? I noticed quite a few sites that sell kits. Did you buy a kit or did you buy the ingredients on your own?

I bought the Maple syrup at a health food store because it's difficult to buy grade B in regular food stores.
The lemoms and water at regualr food store.
The cayene pepper capsules at The Vitamin Shop.

Same here. Sorry to ask so many questions. Can you pass on the recipe? Every site I've looked on asks for money for it...

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
I'm doing good, thanks :) I cheated a little bit yesterday because hubby took me out to a nice dinner, but I had a grilled chicken salad... and guess what?
I still lost a pound.
Today's weight 8/31 : 150lbs
So that is 5 lbs lost in 4 days :)
Back to the diet today, not going to let yesterday interfere.
I purchased the maple syrup in Seafod at a health food store on Sunrise Highway,

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
How many lemons are you going through?
Are you doing the herbal tea at night?
I heard the salt walter flush is important bc it rids your body of the build up and toxins - but I agree it is hard to get it down, not to mention the after affects, I was in the bathroom like 5 times.

Re: Started the Master Cleanse this morning...
I would like to try this. Do you think that it is not recommended for someone who has acid reflux disease? I am concerned about the cayenne pepper.... Thanks.
