So.... if you follow the book correctly and get off the cleanse the way it says you won't gain the weight back that you've lost?

Kathryn_V · 02-10-2007, 10:09 PM

I am checking in and reporting... I broke my cheanse early

My sisters birthday party was today and I had teh task of making a ton of food! so I broke it a couple of days ago....

I did 14 days! Lost 14lbs and I feel AMAZING! The sluggishness from eating crap has left me!

Hubby did 14 days! Lost 24lbs and is now OFF THE DIET SODA! In fact he's off all soda! And so far 100% raw... I think he will remaim about 90% raw from here on out... he was about 80% raw before. He is so much healthier now! It shows in his skin, his eyes. his energy! I love it!!!!!

Post cleanse... I have lost 2.5 more pounds! So the talk of gaining it back only applies if you go back to eating crap... And by crap I mean SAD, the Standard American Diet. If thats the diet of choice for you, YES you WILL gain every ounce back!!!! The whole idea of cleansing your body is not to run right out and cram the crap right back into it!

I came off of my cleanse way back when and went onto a raw diet. Let me rephrase that.... I started eating Raw foods... I did NOT go on a diet, I just started eating much healthier! And in doing so I managed to take off over 100lbs!

Amazing! Just changing my lifestyle and going back to before the burger and refined sugers, I was able to allow my body to find its natural shape! Have you ever seen an OVERWEIGHT animal in the wild??? They are all the weight they are supposed to me! They are all living to their exact potential! Why?? Because there are no drivethroughs in the forrest! No refills on sodas and no frozzen dinners or french bread for the animals to eat!

So I'm eating what the earth is providing me.. fresh fruits and veggies, raw nuts and oils! And its doing wonders for me! I am getting enough iron, protein, vitamins and minerals! I've had blood tests and I'm not low on anything.. I give blood, you have to have high enough iron to do this, and I am! Almonds, greens, and rasins are great sources of iron! And the enzymes!!!! My food digests itself!!! My body hardly has to work!

And the water content of my food is so high that I am so well hydrated! It makes my skin glow!

Wow.. I am so off my own topic here! lol I get get so excited about eating raw! lol Can't ya tell!!! I forget what I was even talking about!

Just to show you what I'm eating... Here is Lunch from today and yesterday!!! The one without the StarFruit was yesterday and the Star Fruit was Today! They were both sooooo good! No dressing! Avacado and Sprouts are way too good by themselves!!!

I am starting tom. morning

mizzwanned · 02-15-2007, 07:49 PM

Today was day 1 for me. I had to work so I only got to drink 1 cup of lemonade because I didn't have time to take it with me. Also I felt sick in the middle of work so I had to leave early but now I feel fine. I drank the tea last night and this morning and only went to the bathroom once today.

mizzwanned · 02-15-2007, 07:51 PM

Forgot to add it was soooo hard to see food around me. I wanted to eat everything lol but I didn't. Let's see if this can last..question...how long do I leave the bag of tea in the water for?

Melot Madness · 02-19-2007, 03:57 AM

It is morning one for me and I just got done with 1/2 of the salt water flush!!! OMG how is it done ? Would it be bad if I just did it as an enema?

I started today too..........I opted for the tea instead........

I tell you what though, I could not find the tea mentioned here and got pure senna tea..........I woke up with such horrible cramps I was sweating

I LOVE the taste of the lemonade though. Wish me luck

Kathryn_V · 02-19-2007, 10:23 AM

Pure senna tea will have you praying to the grout in your tile!!!!

Yikes!

Its super strong!!!! Once you make your cup, pour half of it out* and add water! If your still cramping, poor more out and add water.... And Time your steeping to the second! So you can predict your "outcome" You don't want any surprises!

*Tip: you can take the left over tea and save it for the am and have Iced Senna Tea before work! Just be sure your not making it too srrong or every 30 minutes you'll be like

"I gotta go!!!!!!" And that not cool! It should be gently working your system, not shocking the s#*! out of it!

Gosh, I feel terrible today. I miss my coffee and food

I'm a strong girl though..........I pray I will survive for atleast 10 days. I need support

Melot Madness · 02-21-2007, 04:43 AM

Okay today is day three and I am okay!! Last night I had energy as if I'd had a Mountain Dew (my previous Drug of Choice). I really hate the flushes, but I continue to do them because after you release you're pretty much done for the day. I know senna will cause a little release gradually. I have had mental cravings (mind only) but not stomach growling ones. Usualy when something upset me or had me stressed I wanted to grab some chips!! So know I know I have a dependency.....

MinMuf1 · 02-21-2007, 07:56 AM

First morning for me! I could only stomach 18 oz of salt water.

So, from hear on out I'm sticking to the tea! I do like the taste of the lemonade!

It was actually sweeter than I thought it would be. I'm loving the support here at YT! Makes me feel like I'm not doing this alone.

Ciera's mom · 03-04-2007, 06:03 PM

any updates from anyone?? How is everyone doing on this?? I am seriously thinking about it, but I have to wait until I finish breastfeeding my son. So far it sounds like everyone has done GREAT!

Although the first few days were tough, throughout the 10 days things got progressively easier. And, I lost 12 lbs! I still drink the lemonade at least once a day and have resumed eating but taking more care in my eating selections. I am definately doing it again in a few months and would recommend at least trying it to others.

I did mc before and lost about 12 lbs. I plan on doing it again in April. One of the best place I found to get info and support was http://.curezone.com/

bebeyorkie · 03-06-2007, 08:52 PM

I actually tried mc about 2 wks ago but only did it for 2 days because I couldn't handle the cayenne pepper. I only used a tiny bit but it still irritated my throat and would make me cough like crazy. I was bummed because I really want to do this.

Anyone else have this problem and any suggestions?
