Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Does anyone know anything about Raw Food eating...

Or water fasting?

I'd like to change my eating habits drasticly and maybe do a water fast too for additional cleansing.

One of my main concerns ( aside from weight loss ) is healing. I am healing some injuries form a truck wreck form 3 years ago and I was reading that fasting aids this --

Do we still have digestive juices flowing when we are drinking the lemonade?

What do you guys know about water fasting?

I read about a woman who eats once a day and the rest of the time only drinks the lemonade..... can you do this long term?

Thanks in advance for any answers .

Hi

There are all kinds of fasts, Water - Grapes - Juice, I've only done water and Master cleanse fasting. I find it very important to keep your colon clean!!!... I use a product called Oxy Powder its great, Once your colon is clean you can do a long water fast!!!...

Good Luck!!!...Dale

Hi Cindy!

Personally I'm not a fan of water-fasting.
Basic knowledge of biology, chemistry, nutrition, and of how the body functions tells me it's not a good thing to do for more than a few days.

What kind of questions do you have about going raw?
I'm a raw foodie/vegan and am happy to help you out!
I've been vegetarian 20 years, since I was 12 - not easy as EVERYONE else in my family were big meat eaters. Growing up in MIami and then New York, let me tell you - not easy to convince people that I knew what I was doing. I rarely ate meat as a kid though (and always cried and screamed about dead animals when anyone tried to make me! even as young as 6!!), so when I learned what vegetarian was and said, "Well that's what I am!" - my Mom wasn't too shocked.

My best advice is go Vegan, then pick a number you think you feel comfortable with as far as the raw part goes. For me that number is 80%. Each day I try and do at least 80% raw. This gives me some flexibility and I still get to enjoy some foods I like (mochi puffed rice squares for example, or french fries with my brother once in a great while).

I even give myself a little leniency on the vegan thing a few times a year, so when I'm in NYC I can have a gross Black & White cookie or slice of Ray's and not be mad at myself. Of course, my stomach gets PLENTY mad for me!!! (I usually feel crappy enough after that I behave for a good few months!)

The key to long term dietary success is learning moderation. Truly.
Anything to extreme or strict and eventually you will falter and feel like you've failed at something. Going vegan and raw is a great way to live, you lose weight without even thinking about it and have energy abound!

Juice fasting is a nice way to transition away from old bad eating habits and into the new.

Best of luck!

Hi Cindy, I've been 100% raw with the exception of mabe 10 days for over a year, until I started the cleanse.
If you do decide to do this I'll tell ya you won't be sorry. After I started within 2 weeks I felt like I was 15 years younger, started needing 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night instead of wanting more than 8 hours and still needing a nap in the afternoon. Good luck!!!
