The Master Cleanse -- Who is doing it?

[MrsLee]

I was think about that myself...At work I have to get someone to take over my station to go to the restroom and I can't drink anything while I am working This isn't panning out as I had hope

Tip: Before your first SWF Take Lax Tea the night before and Make sure you eliminate the next morning. If you wake to strong cramps, you need to cut the brewing time of your tea, it was too strong!

If you are to "blocked up" the SWF will have a VERY hard time washing through you. But after the lax tea, you should be able to do the SWF much easier. Be sure to drink the sea water FAST. As fast as you can. Be sure its warm. Not hot... just warm. After about 30 mins after you drink it you should have a very strong urge to eliminate! That elimination should take about 20 minutes... so I would set aside about an hour and a half for the SWF in the morning befor you go to work.

On Day 3

I honestly can't wait for this to be over...Saturday and Sunday were really rough - I barely had energy to make it thru the day. I drank 6 mixtures each day. I drank a lax tea Sat. night and did the SWF Sunday morning. That was disgusting!!!! I did go 'potty' like 5x right after that, so that was good. But I don't think I can handle the SWF. I may do the SWF one more time next weekend, we'll see. But I just went to the Vitamin Shoppe and bought the Smooth Move tea. So I will drink that in the PM and AM, along with my 6 mixtures of the 'brew'.

Today I don't feel as sluggish, but the cravings for 'salty' things just won't go away! I think b/c the 'brew' is sooooooooooo sweet, I instantly want something salty after.

I am battling sinus headaches too. I have had to take sinus meds at night because the headache is so bad.

I guess if it weren't for the INTENSE cravings, it really isn't so bad
I still can't wait to eat again. All I think about is Sushi and oh how Tuna on a Saltine Cracker would be sooooooooooooooooo nice right now!

Hmmm...laxative teas, being stuck in the bathroom, NO food at all for a week or more. No thanks! I need to drop a few pounds and start living a more healthy lifestyle, but this sounds....hmm, insane?...definately not something I could handle.

Kudos to you who are doing this! Good luck to you all!

(Just where WAS that box of donuts.... )

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I lost 2 lbs. in 2 days.

The first week will be mostly water weight. I haven't started this yet because my book hasn't arrived. I know cleansing is supposed to be so healthy because it gets rid of all the toxins that build up, but I'm having second doubts about some of the things your supposed to drink. I'll decide when the book comes.

I am Sooooo ready to start... Where is Jen????

Great to hear, stay strong, you're doing awesome!!!

Nicole,

The first three days are the worst for most people... if you make it through those... you are on your way!!!!!

Day seven is a toughie too... it tends to be a big detox day... the general all over crappy feeling sets in but is gone with the following mornings elimination! You will be back on top of the world... everyone is different... it could be day 6 or 8 for you... or you could bypass it totally! How great would that be? I did once! But don't let it get you down if it gets you! its only one day! It will pass.... it all does... and detox symptoms are a good thing! It means your body is expelling the bad! And thats good!

I'm so proud of you!!! You are so doing it!!! And feeling good! Its so empowering isn't it! I can't wait to read your next post!!!!!

I forgot to post this last week but my mother-in-law's boss did the cleanse for 10 days and guess how much weight she lost?

18 lbs!!!

OMG that's so amazing!!

[TLC]

I am here! Today is GREAT! I FEEL WONDERFUL...

Kathryn, you were right, you just have to hang in to pass day 3

I lost another pound this morning. So for me:
At the start of Day 4 - lost 4lbs (not bad )

My husband Troy:
At the start of Day 4 - lost 13lbs (not fair )

This is great! I can't wait to hear about all of you guys!

P.S. I went back to Trader Joes last night to get more Grade B - and they HAVE NO MORE!!! The guy looked it up and he saw NOTHING - Not even a record of having it! Oh well, I had to buy the Grade A - Dark Amber, I think it will be ok...LEt me know if anyone runs into the same problem with Trader Joes Grade B????

Jen I am so happy that you got everything! Me and Troy started on a Saturday and boy did I need the weekend to deal with how sluggish I felt. That could just be me though. Tell me how your Monday goes
