So, I’ve started. Day One of the Master Cleanse. My friend Jennifer, who works with me, via phone, on Resonance Repatterning, has suggested I do this cleanse for 20 days. Try as I might, I’m not sure I can do it for that long honestly. I already know I’ll need to break it on Monday a small bit for one of my events (the hell of running a Dining Club and trying to do a fast/cleanse). But I’m giving it my best and figured I’d share my experience here.
The benefits of doing this particular cleanse are not focused on losing weight as much as it is re-setting the digestive system and flushing toxins. Losing weight is usually an added benefit for those trying to lose weight, but for those trying to put weight on, it also manifests in that way as well. You are not supposed to take any supplements or medications while detoxing, though one should always check with a doctor before embarking on the cleanse. I’m still using my essential oils for my biorhythms (which my friend Jenny is also a wonder at helping), but other than that, oral supplements are sitting on the shelf for the duration of the fast.
I have found that most sites are rather gimmicky when trying to google any information on my own, but this site has been the best and most informational by far, with no ulterior motive. Also, I have found very little as far as real life reviews/commentary. So, for what it’s worth, here’s my account…
Day one. Well, it didn’t seem very hard – at first. To be fair, I haven’t had the full amount of lemonade I’m supposed to have, or could have. So, I’m a bit hungry as I get ready to lay down for the night. The taste is good. The tea, Swiss Kriss, is good. The salt water flush is tough, but doable. I have a bit of a headache, which is to be expected. I haven’t had quite the “living in the bathroom” that many claim, but my diet was pretty good going into this. Supposedly, if you can get through the first three days, the next bit should be easier as the body adjusts. I’ll let you know.
