Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Hi,

This is my first Master Cleanse. I'm surprised how easy it is! I thought i'd be alot worse with stomach cramps and wanting to eat badly, but I'm doing ok with it even tho I still have to make my kids meals.

Let me first say that I've been vegetarian for 10 years now, and about 9 years ago I went raw (mostly just fresh fruits) for the entire summer (June-Sept) and lost about 50lbs! I don't think I knew it then but probably also did a good detox that summer. I stayed vegan for 2 years after that.

Maybe that is why I'm having an easy first MC? From being vegetarian, no prepackaged junk, no meat consumption?

But anyways....day 2 was the hardest to get past because of wanting to eat and being hungry. But I kept drinking the lemonade and got past it. Now I'm on day 5 (I can't believe it!!!!) Everything is going well, getting plenty lemonade, doing the lax tea night and morning, doing the swf in mornings. Stuff is coming out, tho not much. Tongue is kinda white/yellow, pink around the edges.

I noticed yesterday and today that my eyelids are laying heavy, or looking like I'm retaining water. I'm about 40lbs overweight (from having a baby 4 years ago) and have not lost anything yet, but feel my waist getting flatter. Could I be retaining water from the swf?

I'm lookiing to go maybe 14 days, just taking it day by day for now.

Yes it is possible, but how much salt are you adding to the mix?

As to your other questions, being a vegatarian has indeed probably helped you have an easier time on the cleanse because your body is not loaded with all kinds of toxins and junk from milk, meat, processed foods, fats, oils, etc.
