I did the cleanse because I was taking so many meds and my body was so over loaded with years of eating crap and the SAD, the "Standard American Diet", That I was literally Poisoned from the inside out! I had watched my mother do the Master Cleanser many times before and I just decided it was time. And I did it! And let me tell you... you get really bored when your not eating!!! You don't realize how much time you really spend eating!!!! When you are fasting, you really end up with a ton of free time on your hands! So I started thinking! And bad things happen when I get thinking! So I think.... I'm ridding my body of all this poison, all this crap... really!:eek: ... No really:eek: lol and then I'm going to.... what start eating the same crap and put it all back in??? after fasting for so long... I thought... you could eat off the floors of my insides! :rolleyes: well.. maybe not, but I was pretty clean... And I was pretty proud of it! So I wanted to somehow keep that up! And thats when the research started! Research is never a good thing for a board person who is sucking down spicy lemonade and dreading food for fear it will dirty up her insides! Yes at this point I am actually afraid that it will get my guts dirty! :confused: Yes... stressed out is more the vibe... I can't go back to food till I know what I'm doing! So I'm on this computer every free second!
And I learned about Raw food! And I kept the weight I lost off, cause I did not go back to the crap I was eating before and I made changes in my diet... Notice I did not day that I went on a diet.... Cause I never went off of any diet, there was no rules to follow, no forbidden list, no food combining, no celebrity endorsements... just me researching a better way of eating and me making decisions for myself to better my health. And in the end my healthy choices paid off ten fold in weight loss, improvement in health issues. I had surgery on my heel and needed it on the other one as well... I never had it done... with the weight loss came complete recovery! I saved myself a very painful surgery! I only wish I did it sooner and saved myself the first one!
The cleanse cured my cravings for trashy foods, I no longer craved the foods that were unhealthy for me, the processed foods, and I was ravenous for fresh whole food. It was wonderful!
I would recommend the cleanse to anyone! But I would caution two things... Please look at it as a cleanse! Follow it to the letter and skip NOTHING! And towards the middle and end... DO NOT get lazy on how much you drink! Take ALL the Lemonade and water!!! You will NEVER grow weak if you take in the lemonade and water... if you alow yourself to cut out a serving or two.... you are depleting yourself!!! Do not take from your body! Do not deprive your body! Give it EVERYTHING it needs... This will not speed up weight loss! Do not cut corners! Weight loss is a wonderful side effect! It comes naturally! DO NOT force it! And do not let it be the focus of your fast.... Focus on cleansing! Your body will thank you!
