"Salt Water Flush
One quart water - warm
2 teaspoons sea salt
taken first thing in the am on an empty stomach - allow about 2 hours or so for the effects "

Can't wait for that..haha :D

I usually let my coffee do that in the am. Does coffee do that for anyone? On a normal "non-diet" morning?!

My grandfather would always have his coffee and cigeratte (sp) in the morning to get "things" moving! I had a friend that was in college that would do the same thing - she told me she had an old mans body! Ha!

Okay, I got all of my stuff today! Yay!

My local natural food store had everything and they are soooo helpful! One lady has done this several times and has enjoyed it each time.

Another has done it once, but satyed on it for 7 days...she said she gained all of her weight back because she just didn't have any support to help her stick w/ it and have healthy eating habits. ((poor thing))

Anyway, I got to buy the syrup in bulk, which made it cheaper. yay! I think I spent around $30 on everything.

I got the Celtic Sea Salt - light grey too!

I probably won't get to start mine now until Tuesday night (the tea), because I forgot we were helping my neighbor take her 7month old twins to the doctor, etc .....so, I think it is best for me to wait - that might not be a good thing!!!!

Look back through the thread... someone has a PDF file with the whole booklet... they would be more than happy to send it to you I'm sure!

It would be awesome to have you on board... I started today...

Wheres JEN?????

Oh....

I guess in anticipation of my cleanse I slammed on a few pounds... that or its my period comming! :rolleyes: I weighed in this morning at 169:eek: up 4 lbs! I was so pissed! But whatever!

So there is my starting point! And I am full of M&M's... my big weaknesses... Raw Food, Sushi and M&M's:D

So here is Day 1 of 29! :thumbup:

I couldn't get thru the entire day today. What a horrible thing to have to drink 8 to 12 times a day. I had 3 glasses then just three drinks into the fourth, I threw up. My stomach was in a knot and I was sick as I have ever been. I called my Dr. who said she wished I had called her or come see her before starting anything so drastic. She said that kind of thing can actually kill you. She told me to eat some oatmeal or soup and toast or crackers. I did at 5 oclock, it's 7:10 now, and my stomach is still messed up.
Be careful you guys. Before any of you start this cleansing, you should consult your Dr.

Peppermint tea for hunger cravings....i think, am I right? At least I know I'll get hungry so I need to buy that. I ordered everything, I'm just waiting for it to arrrive, then I wil start! :)

Yea it does that for me, that's why I can't drink coffee in the AM.

smooth move
 

Hi Guys, how is everyone's cleanse going? Just wanted to tell you all, that you can buy the smooth move tea (and the chocolate type) at a GNC store or at the gnc website. If you buy online just type in the code JAN20 and you get 20% off and free shipping. So a box would be 3.59 instead of 4.49. good luck everyone!

Whoa! I hope you are feeling better now! Like anything (I guess), you should always talk w/ your doctor first, huh?!

I decided to try mine tonight! (Well, the tea and then the SWF in the morning). My DH isn't too thrilled that I am trying it and I have to admit, I am alittle nervous, but I am really wanting to drop a few pounds and feel better - then go back to my eating healthy!

If your just looking to lose weight, and lose the healthy way (and fast) just eat fresh fruits raw and steamed, and fresh veggies. No sugar, and maybe one baked potato per week. I had my nephew here to put him on a diet so he could join the AF. With eating like this along with running and weights, he lost 80 pounds in 3 months.

Going veggie is an awesome slow cleanse! which is what I did after my Master cleanser, and why I went on to loose 102 total. I went completely raw, a bit drastic in most peoples view, but totally safe and very perfect for my body!

I'm finishing up day two and not a single side effect, but this is not my first cleanse... hubby is having an AWFUL time since he is giving up the diet coke... the headach's are overwhelming for him! But its all part of the detoxing... its like an addict coming off of heroin! He felt like this eating food while trying to give up the soda... :( it sucks being dependant on chemicals!

Day three is coming up! I can't wait! I bet hubby will be feeling better! I just made him some mint tea to calm him a bit.

I have started eating pretty much raw frutis and vegies. - for the last three weeks, I guess. I notice that I feel better and I have had fun making different things. I do use tofu and a few other things, but it is a good start for me.

I am trying this cleanse to clean out and hopefully feel better - not to mention loss some weight to go along w/ my new healthy eating!

Can't wait to see how this works for me! I have high hopes!

I am starting tomorrow, I've drink my tea tonight and have been mentally preparing the last few days to be ready to start. I can't wait! :)

Hubby feels a ton better after mint tea!!!! YEAH!!!:thumbup:

I can't wait till tomorrow! Every day removed from Diet Coke he is, the better he is going to feel!!! :p

Congrats girls! I hope you guys have an easy go of it! If at any time you feel like you can't hack it... ask yourself if its a detox symptom, if it is, just know that it will pass! If your body is really telling you to stop, then stop... But be sure to BREAK YOU FAST CORECTLY!!! Which is why I begged everyone not to attempt this without the book! So you'll know what to do..

Good Luck!!! Just be Prepared and you succeed!

I need help!!!

I did the SM tea last night - it was okay, didn't really enjoy the taste of it, but I got it all down - I know I will "grow" to like the taste though.

This morning did the SWF - not no where near as bad as I thought it would be. Although drinking that HUGE bottle full was KILLER!!!

I haven't YET to get down my Lemonade mix. It tasted okay, UNTIL I put in the pepper - now it is TOO HOT!!! It just burns the whole way down. Has anyone ran into this problem????

I know when I was at the health food store, I had to buy the pepper in bulk and there were two kinds of cayenne - well, the same thing, just one was hotter than the other - I must have gotten the REALLY hot kind.

What can I do??? Can I use less or what??!!

Other then that, I haven't felt bad - course, I haven't managed to drink much of the lemonade though.

Kathryn--- I need you!!!!

Thanks Kathryn!

Help!
 

I have the sea salt but want to make sure I have the right one.It's Sea Salt made by Morton. Thanks

Sent you a PM!

WOW - DAY 10 for me.

I lost 9 lbs.
My hubby has lost about 20 lbs.

I am back into my size 6 (with room too :eek: )

I did the SWF Sat. Sun. and right now - here at work!

I am so happy we did this! I can't wait to hear about everyones results! :)

Oh! My! Goodness!
 

That is wonderful results.Lord I will be the happiest girl on this earth if I can reach my 20 pound goal.

Hi everyone!! Sorry I wasn't able to post sooner but my grandmother has been sick and I've been taking care of her.

Anyway, hubby and I are doing the cleanse together!! It's so great to have him help me!! He's really supportive. We did the cleanse half-way over the weekend because we were at the hospital taking care of my grandmother. Hubby and I had the brew for breakfast and lunch and then ate hospital food for dinner and we both still LOST WEIGHT in those 2 days!! Jim lost 5 lbs and I lost 3.5 lbs (in 2 freakin days)!!! :D :D

But today, we are "officially" starting the cleanse with NO FOOD!! YAY!! I'm so excited!! :D

Day 1
 

Day 1 went pretty good. I didn't have ANY hunger pains all day but I did have a bad headache last night from caffeine withdrawal. I drink a lot of diet coke, diet snapple, diet sunkist and diet sprite. But other than that, everything was fine. I feel great today!!

Hubby had some cravings around lunch time because all the guys he works with ordered in lunch and he smelled all that food. But he had no side effects at all (unlike me).

So we're both on day 2 today!! YAY! :D

I am going to have to stop. I have a really bad kindney infection. Every time i drink one of the drinks it gets worse.

I am still going to stay off the soda and change my eating habits.

Good Luck everyone!

Hello everyone....,Hubby is on day 3 with eating 1x a day and has lost 3lbs. He claims there is NO way that he can go all day and not eat a single thing lol lol :D I'm starting my first day of the drink today...wish me luck.
Congrats to all those continuing the Cleanse.....and having great results.

I lost 6 lbs in 2 days!! Wooo hooo!! :D Hubby and I are feeling MUCH better today. No cravings for food and the headaches are gone!! :D

Checking in with everyone... I'm on day 6 now! And so is mu husband! I am so proud of him... we thought for sure he was going to turn tail and quit on day three! lol But here he is!

I put on a size 8 this morning! :eek: I almost died!

Hubby has more energy than he has had in years and feels soooo good, he has lost that "bloated" look that men his age, 45, tend to get. That prego belly you see so much of... its about half its size! He was so full of it! its amazing what you carry around with you, clinging to your inner walls! And every time he emerges from the hallway his face is all lit up! "Honey!" lol

I just love seeing what its done for him... He'll be a new man by the time he is done!

Me, I'm just happy to be cleaning out all the toxins from the processed foods I have been induldging on the past couple of months... and preparing my body to go back to the raw... its soooo much better for my body and I thrive on it, my body is so much more ballanced on it, no upset, no pains, no trouble whatsoever, its wonderful! And my skin glows! I can't wait!!!!

How is everyone else doing?? Anybody make it past those rough first couple of days??? For most people its tough but for some... its not that bad at all...
