Hi everyone. This is day 2 for me. I'm planning on doing this for 8 days this time. I know, you're supposed to do it for at least 10, but Valentine's day is coming on day 10 and that's always a big deal (and meal) for me. So I decided to stop on day 8 so I have at least one "coming off" day. Things are going ok, I have a slight headache, but not too bad. Anyways, I'm down 4 lbs since yesterday, I know most of it is just water weight, but I'm excited. Good luck to all of you!

hi everyone,
I'm thinking about starting the diet, but I'm worried about how safe it is. Is anybody experiencing any kind of side effects or anything?
Also, i'm thinking of doing the diet without any laxative tea (i'm worried of becoming dependent on it after going off the diet). anyone know if I can just use salt water in its place?
Thanks!

Ok, I'm ready to do this again, this time for the full 10 days!! I am looking for someone to start with me. I will start on 2/15/08. So far, I have tried to accomplish this twice and was unsuccesfull. The first time was on 01/02/08 and lasted for 4 days and I lost 5lb which I managed to keep off. The 2nd time was on 1/12/08 and lasted 7 days, I also lost 5lbs. Through better eating habits and excercise I have managed to keep them off and lose an additional 4lbs but I am now ready to go the full 10 days!!! So If you are looking to start and need a budy let me know

Hi lizze77,
I'm starting today if you'd like to join me. I'm hoping to go until Feb 24 if nothing goes wrong with my body during this time.
My goal is to lose 30 pounds. I'm wondering if this is possible? |

Hi alisfishbowl
this is my first time on the MC too. Although I've had a lot of doubts about starting this diet, I've finally decided to do it since I've gained about 20 pounds recently due to stress and bad eating habits. I plan on doing this for about 2 weeks. Hopefully I can pull through without any problems! (although I've done some research and read that this diet may cause gallstones?? any thoughts on this?) here is the link to the article about the gallstones http://altmedicine.about.com/od/mastercleansediet/p/mastercleanse.htm

Well.... After reading everyones posts, I bought the book and the ingredients and I have decided to attempt my first cleanse. I will start the lax tea tonight and boy oh boy, I'm looking forward to my first SWF tomorrow morning!!!! I will try to stay on the cleanse for the min 10 days, but I'm hoping I will like it so much, that I will be able to hold out for 21 days, or 25 pounds whatever comes first. ( I hope its the 25 pounds!! ) A little about me... I'm 26 and a have ulcerated colitis. My doc put me on predinose, which is a steroid and I have gained 20+ pounds since the middle of January. I feel better thankfully, but I hate all this weight gain. I heard the MC was good for ulcers... So, hopefully, I will be able to get of these meds, detox my body and loss some weight while I'm at it!!

I started the cleanse last Friday. I can drink the swf without any problem. I actually like it. I also like the cayenne. With that said, the experience isn't too bad.

On to Day 4 for me. Down about 4lbs so far and looking to do the cleanse for 21 days. I recently quit drinking and smoking, so I'm more concerned with the actual cleansing than the weight loss-- but it's a nice bonus.
I'm sure someone has answered this previously, but I don't feel confident doing the salt water flush before work. I did it both days this weekend and I was running back and forth to the bathroom the entire time. I used the laxative tea this morning instead. Is this okay? Also, is it okay to take the flush when I get home from work instead of the morning?
Thanks for your help and good luck everyone!

Hi Everyone, 
I am so glad I found this board. I started the Master Cleanse last week and made it 4 Days before my husband starting bringing home foods that I like. Sabotage! But that is okay because I lost 9 lbs. and see food differently. This is such a great learning experience. I felt so energetic and satisfied while drinking the lemonade and was suprised to see how the cayenne pepper made me feel so alert. No more caffeine for me. I notice that I only wanted fruits and salads when I stopped.
Well today I am starting back on this because I have a long way to go and I like the cleansing effect of this diet. So here I am hoping to do more than 4 days. One thing this will teach me is to develop strength and control over food. I feel so healthy doing this and I can see changes daily in my face and body.
Kat

Quote: Another Cleansing Aid: Internal Salt Water Bathing As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside. Do not take enemas or colonics at any time during the cleansing diet or afterwards. They are unnecessary and can be extremely harmful. There is a much superior method of cleansing the colonic tract with- out the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas. This method will cleanse the entire digestive tract while the colonics and enemas will only reach the colon or a small part of it. Colonics can be expensive while our salt-water method is not. DIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of lukewarm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of uniodized sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work property. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system. If the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possibly take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way - the salt water way. It is quite advisable to take the herb laxative tea at night to loosen, then the salt water each morning to wash it out. If for some reason the salt water cannot be taken in the morning, then the herb laxative tea must be taken night and morning.  ...vegeman

Hi,
So today is day one. I am doing the agave verison because maple syrup is disgusting (I've tried it before). I am hoping to go for the 10 day min then take sticking to The Zone and back again for another 10 day. I at 185 but want to lose at least 10pds these next few days and then ultimately down to 130 for the summer. All this seems totally impossible!
I really don't believe that this cleanse can do anything more for me then make me lose water weight but I'm desperate.
Those who have lost, are the lost pounds real or just water?

I lost 18 lbs. in early January doing this cleanse for 14 days, and kept them off by strictly adhering to the following plan:
Have the MC/Lemonade instead of breakfast, eat a salad OR a bowl of soup for lunch and then a moderate dinner. Snack occasionally (only if you feel the need), and when you do, eat a piece of fruit, a carrot, or a stalk of celery. Rarely eat desert, but if you so desire, eat only a very small or half serving.
I am currently on the 7th day of my second cleanse this year, not specifically for weight loss (although I'll be glad to shed a few more lbs.) but for the detox. A follow-up "Spring Cleaning", so to speak. This cleanse rocks!

Someone please tell me what's going on. I actually lost 5lbs. from my actual start date of 2/29/08 but I've gained a pound since yesterday. Is it the mystery SWF that hasn't made an exit in two days?

Down 3lbs. in one day AND I cheated. I went to a raw foods informational and samples some dishes. I had one plate of food and everything was wonderful. Back to the lemonade today and feeling fine. I can't wait to start eating yummy, raw, tastey foods when this fast is done. I'm pretty sure I won't stay with the fast for a long period of time but I am pleased that my mind is focused on eating healthy foods at the end of it and not sugary, starchy, fatty foods.
Anyone, wanting to give a word of encouragement would be great.

Tomorrow will be 1st day and this is my 1st time posting. Would have started today but I took it in a water bottle to school and had used carbonated water so when I opened the straw top to drink it in class it came shooting out like a fountain. Tomorrow I'll use regular water for school and hope for better luck.

Last night I made the Lemonade with a fresh organic lemon (I usually use organic bottled) and put the pulp and grated the peel into the drink. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Unfortunately, I messed around and did something I used to do when I was a kid. I licked the remainder of the lemon and wound up eating some of the peel. I used to love to eat whole lemons all the time. But once again I need to keep away from anything else so that I really am shutting down my digestive system for the cleanse.

I started the MC on the last day of January, and made it four days the first try. After trying, failing, and restarting throughout Feb. and the first week of March, I have gone from 206 lbs to 188 lbs as of 3-7-08. That's 18 lbs in one month, plus one week! My knees have stopped hurting too. Just imagine if I had been consistent all that time. I'm on day five of my latest attempt and determined to stick to the program.

Hello everybody, so far so good on day 4 I am shooting for 25, or the rest of this 38 lbs, which ever comes first, or if my body tells me to stop I will for two weeks and then do another 10 days.

I am starting this diet tonight and I had an idea that is kind of new to me. Even though this is physical fasting of a sort, why not intermingle it in with spiritual fasting to try to stay longer. The way I see it, try to do away with a faulty thought process while doing it, and tell yourself from the beginning, is getting rid of this thought process or outlook more important, or indulging in those fries and having to repeat a day or so later? I truly do not mean to offend anyone if I do, but I'd like to get some feedback on this idea. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought about it I'm sure! I'm new to this diet, and I am floored by all the posts of success and can't wait to see how it will turn out. My mom told me about this diet a couple days ago, and how she lost 3 lbs the first day! Awesome! I have a good 65 lbs to go! Wish me luck! I will need all I can get! Show a newcomer love!

Not getting off to a good start. Technically I started yesterday but messed up late last night. So...trying this again. I have 41 pounds to lose just to start. Ultimately I'd like to lose 60 pounds. Would welcome any support from the board.
Good luck to everyone!

Adrianne- I too am starting tomorrow. I am not certain how long I will stay on it as I do not know how many days it will take for my body to be cleansed. I just drank my first cup of Smooth Moves tea (does not taste too bad) and I am going to bed. Will keep you posted on my progress...
