Hey Everyone,
I'm sort of new to this site, but I was in on another chat with tatyushka, which was great. Read this one, and thought I'd join in, too, if it's OK.
I'm on day 26, and it's great. I started to lose weight, because I have a bulging disk that is not responding to spinal decompression. The chiro said to lose, and that will help, so here I am. Lost 9 lbs before the fast, and now on the fast lost 17. I have about 19 to go (or more). I started at 175, and need to be about 130 (or less), but I will be happy w/ 130.
Here's my take on the MC. I should warn you that I am not a purist. Haha. I do not do the tea at night nor the SWF, bcs the body cleanses itself of toxins just fine by itself, through the skin, breathing, and colon. I have been vegetarian/vegan for 26 years, and I don't think my colon is that clogged. When I had a colonoscopy, I followed the procedure, and it was torture. After the first movement, all that came out was yellow liquid, and then clear. Eventually, your body will generate more feces, and yes, it will come out with the SWF, but it would anyway, uless something isn't working properly. I have about 2 BMs per week on the MC. I'm cool with that. Also, you will lose weight just by having the few calories the lemonade provides. And, I really don't like the flush process either, so I'm being a rebel. Love me anyway.
Also, I chew a stick or two of gum daily, to simulate the chewing process. It helps me get through it, and to stick with it. 26 days is worth these little departures, so I do it.
This is just an alternative viewpoint. Hope you don't mind. It does help to share the experience.
You are all doing very well, too. I enjoyed reading everything you all have written before I posted this. Except, I could probably do without the pictures, as I do this at work. Yikes.
Until next time -- Go lemon!
