Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

This is the fourth time I've tried the MC. #1 was a complete success, but the MC and I were still in our honeymoon period. Times 2,3, and 4 ended in failure, to which I blame unsupportive friends/co-workers/etc, the novelty of the MC wearing off, and attempting too soon after the first time. The first time was such a success that I wanted to repeat it right away, but it doesn't really work that way. I've decided that the MC is not a thing to be done on a whim, but is rather a process to be gone through when the time is right. The first time for me was a little over 6 months ago, and once every 6 months sounds right to me. It still might be a little too often, but time will tell.

As I write this, I've been on the MC for about 6 hours, and it's been tough this whole, short time. I've already gone through coffee withdrawals, and probably will again. I always think, "What can a cup of black coffee hurt?" If I have that cup, then poof! I'm off sliding down that slippery slope and I'll be shoveling in the ice cream by sundown. I must not deviate one iota from the MC if I am going to be successful. In a way, it helps that it's so restrictive. There's so much that I can't eat or drink while on the MC, I don't even bother thinking about it. But the first days are always hard.

A post-MC plan is a requirement as well. Even though my first MC was great, I gained all the weight I lost back, and then some. Weight quickly lost can be quickly gained again. No surprise there, yeah? It's got to be comprised of whole foods, fruits, veggies, lean meats and fish, controlled calories, exercise, small and frequent meals. For me, I'll have to work it so that I bring all my own food with me, all the time. If and when I get hungry and all I have are restaurants available to me, I will be in trouble.

Welcome to the forum, I'm on Day 8 and the first three days were not bad. Day 4 and 5 were the tough days for me. One thing you said was you attempted the second cleanse to soon after the first. I don't think that was what made you fail. In fact liftetime cleansers are known to cleanse right after they are done. They cleanse for like 10 days, take a couple of weeks off, and re-start their clenasing. Inf fact, people have done cleanses for a whole year, takes weeks off here and there....I don't know if I can go a year though.

Cleansing for a whole year? Even with a few weeks off here and there? I can hardly imagine. I'm sure if a person did that, they'd fully achieve their ideal body weight, yeah? That's awesome dedication, though.
