Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Hello everyone,

I am back and ready to get healthy. It's been a long year and I made up excuses time and time again. No more. Making it past the first three days is the most challenging part, but living a life overweight is more challenging. So...the most dreaded part of the first post....STATS:

Height: 5'3
Weight: 170 lbs (highest weight ever... )
Goal Weight: 120 lbs


I am not stopping until I reach it. Wish me luck and god bless, we are all in this together.

Also... I will be posting inspirational quotes and photos throughout this journey.

Here is to "mastering" the "master cleanse"

Hi, Dimanda! Thank you for your post, it is very inspiring. I love the quote I am new to this forum and diet. I have tryed to do low calorie diet before and didn't suceed bc I wasnt seeing that great of results. I have 2 kids and my youngest is 4 and I never fully lost all the baby weight. But I am pretty determined this time and with all the inspiring posts I hope to make it for 10 days! I'm so excited! Tomorrow starts Day 1!! Will keep
my progress posted. Good luck to you!
My goal weight:135lbs
Today:156lbs
Height:5'5
age:25

Brit2- So glad to have you on board! I also love your quote! This place is quite inspiring so I am intent on posting quite a bit (particularly during moments of weakness).



Day One: The first day of the cleanse was easy. I was motivated and determined not to give up. The laxative tea gave me cramps all day so I only consumed water. I slept like a baby which was nice. Energy levels were up...NOTHING to complain about.


Day Two: Today is much tougher. I am craving a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich, diet coke, and tomato basil soup of all things. I just need to keep telling myself that these foods are not going extinct. If I am unhappy with my results after this is done I can eat those things again....but i have a funny feeling I will no longer want to!! The first three days are the most difficult so I just need to stay on track and remind myself why I am doing this in the first place.


I keep telling myself: if you are tired of starting over, then stop giving up on yourself.

I will post my weight every three days... hoping for great things over here! Hope everyone is doing well...

You are doing great, you are already on Day 2, I wish I was! When you start thinking about that burger.. FORGET that thought right when it pops up and try to occupy your mind with something else or like you was saying try focusing on all the benefits of this ?? I am on Day 1 and I did the SWF this morning, I wasn't even thinkin and used tap water. I could of went to the bathroom but I didn't feel an urge or anything so I laid back down for couple hrs. Got up and drank some lemonade. I just went to the bathroom and it seemed regular tho. My stomach isn't hungry yet so I havnet had to fight off the urge to eat yet.. really nervous bc I am weak when it comes to food.. its just comforting to me. But I KNOW that I want to lose this weight and how much it effects my health and self-esteem so I am GOING to do it! I'm going to go clean out my pool and lay out in the sun. I hope everyone has a great "healthy" day!

Hi demanda,

Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your posts. I noticed that you want to lose 50lbs just like me...the only difference is I started at 194 and would love to be under 150 by the end of this year. It's very helpful to know that other people are doing the MC at the same time. I started out good today but had a really weak point when I actually thought "I can eat today and start tomorrow". Thinking about the posts I had read helped me overcome the temptation to eat. I just fixed a double lemonade and feel fine again. Stay strong everyone!

Well done Demanda, you are doing great. The laxative tea cramping is the worst isnt it?!

Demanda!! Great job! keep up the great work, I am going onto day 2 tomorrow, really pushing myself because there are so many people around me who keep telling me i cant do it and Ill give in after a few days.. (Kinda hurtful coming from family you'd think they would support) but all in all coming on here after all the negative put downs has given me a new sense of hope and when I read your post I was thinking she gets the same urges I do and she pulled through Very inspiring keep up the great work and inspiring all of us to keep at it! Look forward to your next post

HI Demanda! I was just checking in to see how you were doing? I hope you are doing well. If not.. don't lose hope! You can still lose your weight! I didn't succeed on the MC. But I am not giving up on losing weight. Everyone has different methods that work best for them. I am starting today on watching my calories. For my weight I can take in 1200 calories a day without exercise. I am a stay at home mom so I don't get any exercise..lol! besides running around the house. The calorie diet is easy for me and I did do it for like a week and a half or 2 and lost 2 or 3 lbs the last time. The weight loss wasn't fast enough for me then so I quit. But I was taking in from 1000 to 1200 calories instead of going lower. I am planning on starting at 1000 calories a day for first week then going 200 lower every week. Watever works. I am going to eat vegatables and fruits mostly and boiled eggs without the yolk for protein and only drink water... I made up this diet..lol. But I was just thinkin about you and wanted to check in. Hope to hear from you soon!
Something to get everyone to start their diet: Go to clothing store, pick out a super cute bikini, go to dressing room and put it on, then bend over and watch your belly fat hang. UGH! LOL!

Demanda I haven't heard from you in a while but I keep checking my messages hoping to hear from you soon:) Well I was just going to let ya'll know its been a wk since I have been on my low calorie diet and I weighed myself this morning for the first time.
