Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

I will be doing the MC starting Mon. May 19 for the first time, If anyone else is, let me know! I would like to discuss progress each day

I am also starting on the 19th. I would love to be your buddy. I'm a little nervous, because I tried one other time and made it to day 2. I, personally, think the lemonade tastes AWFUL. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong??

Great! and nice to meet you My fear is that I won't be able to make it past day 1 or 2 as well, because I will get sick of the lemonade, but a lady I work with who inspired me to try the MC said that she hated it at first too, but after a few days she said she really enjoyed it and actually started to crave it. I don;t know if you are doing something wrong, did you follow the ingredients and directions to a tee from the book?

I am going to restart tonight... after the other day I decided I must be doing something wrong. So I am restarting tonight. Which is fine. I mean no biggie I guess. I was going to just start after my trip to florida (i leave saturday until friday). But I guess I'll just suck it up. lol.

hi all, i would love to join you all, and glad to be updating everyday, weakenesses and strengths.

i tried the other day but failed miserably after having dinner with my boyfriend.

I look forward to making progress with all of you

Personally, the more friends, the better. I need all the support I can get. I've pretty much decided that I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm mixing it according to the book. I just have really sensitive taste buds, I guess. It was so interesting to me today, because our church did an entire sermon on the benefits of fasting. I'm starting on Tuesday (not on the 19th, like I thought), because I have a job interview that requires 3 meals with the staff. I dont' want to have to explain everything for 3 meals. Anyway. I have definitely felt further away from God recently and am really going to use the next 10 days to dive into my bible and get back intoa religious mode.

Awesome, it sounds like we have a good support system here, everyone remember that if and when this gets difficult and/or we crave food etc, To think about the benefits of the cleanse and how amazingly healthy we are going to be! Good luck everyone and keep posting

Tonight I took my laxative tea, I thought it was gross, but I will deal with it.

ChristineIndy,

I as well will be reconnecting with God through these next two weeks, now is a better time than ever

Sounds like a good idea, during the cleanse we all need something to read, think about and do to keep our minds off of food.
Starting on Tuesday should be okay, just make sure to drink your tea at night.

?? I wonder if you or we should drink the SWF the morning we start (even though we ate solids the night before)

I will be doing the SWF tomorrow morning and I ate solid foods today, I hope that's okay

it is the morning of day 1 for me and I just took the SWF,, I could not get through it all I almost threw it up, It was Gross!! I think I drank about 2/3 of it, that's all I could stomach. Do you guys have problems with it? Im gonna try drinking mine through a straw tomorrow, and put the straw far back in my mouth because yikes that stuff is nasty!

Well I am about to go make my first glass of lemonade and 4 small batches of concentrate for my day at work

I hope everyone else is having better luck than me!

Hi everyone,

I am starting today and I'd like to join the group. I took the SWF this morning--I also could only get through 2/3 of it because it made me feel so sick. And so far, nothing has come out! I think I didn't drink enough water yesterday--I was too dehydrated so my body just soaked up all that salt water.

I did the MC a long time ago and the only thing that helps me with the SWF is to hold my nose and keep saying "Chicken Noodle Soup" in my head while I drink it.

Good luck guys!

I sorta started yesterday, but I didn't drink a lot of lemonade, just didn't eat. It was also a lazy, sleepy Sunday, so my first "real" day is today. I did the lax tea last night, and I'll do it again tonight - can't do the SWF....especially with my work conditions.

I made a huge jug of all 60 oz for today - I've probably had about 5 oz of it, and I'm already sick of the taste. I also have 60 oz of water, so I"m trying to alternate for sanity. I love water, but I do recognize the benefits of the lemonade mix. Hunger in itself is not a huge issue, just not wanting to drink the lemonade. So, any support or ideas that you guys have, please send them my way.

Good luck to you!

Also, how many days are you guys doing it? I had originally set my goal at 5 days.

Hi there I sort of started yesterday except I got sick at around 5pm, so here I am again today drinking my lemonade and seeing how things go. I did not do the SWF this morning as I was not sure how my stomach would've handled it so I took the laxative tea. Will try and do a SWF later tonight. So far so good not really hungry, feeling a little dizzy but guess I will just have to suck it up and deal with it and maybe take a little more maple syrup. So far today 4 glasses of water and 3 of lemonade.

What are you doing about exercise? I usually do an hour of cardio a day - will it hurt to do it while on the cleanse?

My official first day, im drinking the SWF right now bt didnt drink as much water either yesterday. However i did do the lemonade.
I had such a hard hard time sleeping last night though, even after drinking the tea.

Anyhow, we'll see how things go.

For some reason, drinking with a straw seems to really help me . . .so i suggest that. I know i could not possibly chug it though.

I usually do 45 minutes of elliptical cardio every other day, and I haven't really heard of any restrictions only maybe just to not exercise so intensely the first week, until you figure out how your energy levels are on the lemonade.

Good luck all.
