I planned to do the MC last time with everyone but we were in the middle of a move and I just didn't think I could handle both. But... now I am SO ready! I have been eating so unhealthy and I feel really gross. After re-reading this thread I am pumped! I had bought the ingredients for the cleanse in Jan so I am ready and planning to start tomorrow. Time for spring cleaning!:p |
Well poo- guess I'm on my own. I'm drinking the tea right now and I have to say I like it. For anybody who is at all interested, I figured out the calories consumed per day on the MC. I know it's not about weight loss but I have an absurd need to know how many calories everything has. It's like my weird little hobby.:rolleyes: 104.8 cal. per 2 T maple syrup 5 cal per 2 T lemon juice 2 cal. per cup of tea sooo... if you have the minimum of 6 servings a day and 1 cup of tea it's 667 calories. |
Thanks that's good to know! Me and hubby are going to do it again soon. We just felt really good after the 10 days of MC and then the 2 days of OJ. It was definately worth it! Good luck! |

Thank you!:) Reading about your experience with it was very inspiring. I am now fully prepared (I hope) for what the first 3 days might be like and will just look forward to the 4th. I'm being a guinea pig- if all goes well for me, my husband and 2 friends are going to give it a go. |
I think you will do fine. Yes the first 3 days for me was rough. But I look back at it now and that week that I started was the week before my period. I am always crazy carving ALL sorts of stuff, so I think that just made those first 3 days even worse for me. But after that, it was a breeze! :) |

My husband's friend couldn't stand any of the ingredients mixed together. He would drink the lemonaide then the syrup and then mix the cayenne pepper with water and shoot it down as fast as he could. |
I'm very interested in this, but how do you not gain that weight back??? It seems like to me that you're basically just losing water weight? |
You are losing more than just water weight, you are forcing your body to burn stored fat by drinking the drink. You are giving your body a break from working soooooooooo hard to break down solid foods into liquids that your body uses. I just sent you the PDF. You'll learn from there. Good luck! Let us know what you decide and how you do. It really is a Cleanse and it is really worth it. You'd be amazed at what is actually left in your body over time. :eek: |
I tried it and lasted only 4 days.......I lost about 5 lbs but quickly regained it back because I was NOT careful. I might try this again though....... |
Okay, I officially read through this entire thread, and I'm opting NOT to do this, lol. It sounds pretty horrible to me, and I'm glad for those who got great results and felt awesome on it.. but it's just not for me. |
i'm gonna give this a shot! i'm gonna wait until after spring break though... too much temptation.. so, i'll just gather supplies and stuff for the beginning of april =) i'm excited! |
I hope your first day is going well! Quote:

This is my 1st day woohoo! I know I said I was gonna do it last time but I tried and I couldn't because of work and school but today I had off so at least now I can get used to it. I'm just thirsty. I haven't drank the lemonade yet but just the tea. |
I am drinking the SWF now, and it's too much! You;re supposed to drink a quart right? I CANNOT drink stuff fast, I take my time so it's hard. But I'm doing it slowly. Yuck. And the tea alone hasn't really helped me go to the bathroom. I drank one last night and this morning and I only went once this morning but for like 2 mins. I don't know why it hasn't worked. |
I had forgotten about this!!! It's wonderful! About 10 - 15 years ago I used to do this a couple of times a year for cleansing. Only back then the tea and salt water flush weren't part of the program. The first couple of days could be a little rough sometimes - it depends on how long its been since you've done a cleanse - but after that you won't believe how much energy and clarity you will have. I would usually do it for about 2 weeks, but one time I did it for 20-something days. It always amazed me how you don't feel hungry... In recent years I've been doing the Colonix cleanse. Perhaps I'll try the Master Cleanse this Spring. Good luck all of you that are trying it! |

I actually haven't been able to start yet. Hopefully I can start this weekend. Where did you guys buy the tea. The only kind I found was loose tea - I prefer tea bags and do you guys use the cayene pepper pills and just break them apart. |

I'm drinking the SWF right now and I'm with you. A freaking QUART?!! I made 2 c (1/2 qt) so I'll see how that works. The same thing happened to me with the tea. I had 1 yesterday morning and got, um, very little results. I was afraid to drink another last night in case the 1st on finally kicked in but I figured I'd better. Well... I was fortunate enough to see 2:30 am and 3:30 am (with added bonus of cramps).:rolleyes: So, yeah, it finally kicked in. Yesterday wasn't too bad for me overall. I think the lack of caffeine is the hardest part. Luckily I didn't get withdrawal headaches until yesterday evening but I felt pretty sluggish for most of the day. I did lose 1 1/2 lbs. On to day 2! |

It took me for ever to finish the SWF - maybe to long like an hr lol lol I did do the whole quart :eek: but it sure did work he he he I just had my first glass of lemon/maple/pepper let's see what happens |
AahhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHH I didn't make it to day 2!! LOL So I went to my bfs house at the end of day one because his mom was going out of the country and I wanted to say bye and they cooked some really good smelling food and I broke down and ate 2 plates!!! I was perfectly fine at home but once I went to his house I cracked and got really hungry. I am going to start again tommorrow. I actually like the lemonade though, it's good. The SWF not so much! I def. can't drink THAT much, maybe only a cup. And the tea makes me go a WHOLE day later so I dunno how I'm gonna do that... |

hi everyone, well I'm day 3 with terrible headache and haven't lost any weight yet:confused: I've read that's it gets easier after third day - I sure hope so because I can't take the headache any longer then a day :( Am I doing it right: morning - swf 1 quart 6 8z glasses of brew drink water throughout the day I haven't started the night tea because I don't want to get up in the middle of night. I need my sleep. I will start the tea tonight since it's friday and I don't work wkends. By the way I have been hungry - craving chocolate bad!!! |
I'm doing it again as I broke the cleanse last time earlier than planned. On day 2 today, doing good but was unable to do the flush this morning due to a busy morning. I miss eating but my body does not feel hungry, it's the action of eating that I miss but I am determined to stay strong! :) Keep going girls, your doing great!!! :good job: |
Those of you sticking to this rock! I couldn't do it. It wasn't the not eating that got me but the lack of caffeine. I had terrible headaches and just felt lethargic. I know it's normal to feel like hell at the begining but I totally wimped out. Good luck to all of you strong girls!:) |
Hello, I'm on day 4 and feel much better then yesterday no cravings at all today, no headache or feeling tired. Yesterday was definitely the worst day for me :eek: :eek: :eek: I almost stopped yesterday but I went back and read past posts and people said that 3rd day might be really bad for some people so I stuck it out:D :D :D :D I'm so glad I did because today has so far been the best day :yay_jump: :yay_jump: :yay_jump: Who else is still doing this??? |

oh really how many days did you do this last time? |
WOW that's great that you stuck it out past Day 3. That's how I was too! I HATED those 3 days, I had such cravings, I had a headache too, but I did break down and I took Sinus PM Meds (only for night 2 and night 3). I get lots of sinus headaches that are just horrible so I had to take something. But Day 4 the sun was shinning on me. And then the rest of the days just past by quickly. I wasn't starving, but I was getting hunger pains in my tummy towards the end of cleanse. I only drank 6 of the 'brew' per day. No other water and I did chew on a tiny little peice of gum, here and there. I will be doing it again soon! Maybe I can last for 14 days this time. Good Luck everyone - you are doing great! :thumbup: |
i could only do the 1st day then i couldn't take it. |

I lost 9-10 lbs. My husband lost 24 lbs. This cleanse is definately tough - no doubt about it. But it is only 10 days, and really most of the cravings are in our heads. At the end I was realived that is was over, but happy of the waste that I got rid of hahahahaha :rolleyes: |
