    Master Cleanser Journal (DO NOT read if easily grossed out!)

    Hey Sara, Thanks for sharing! I knew I was taking a risk posting this here, but that's the reality. To answer your question, no, I followed the Master Cleanser program verbatim (except for cheating the last day!) and did not have any psyllium. However, I have heard that psyllium is a...

    Master Cleanser Journal (DO NOT read if easily grossed out!)

    Hey Charlotte, Yes, I have heard of people who don't have eliminations for a couple of days. One thing I will say though...you need to drink more than 2 1/2 cups fo the salt water mix...I think it's actually 1 quart you are supposed to drink. It's awful, I know, but that's what it takes...

    Master Cleanser Journal (DO NOT read if easily grossed out!)

    OK, it was late when I posted that last night and there are a few things I should have mentioned: 1) For anyone confused by what the heck I am talking about, this journal was posted at the request of individuals at the "cleansing" thread, which began a couple of days ago. If you are NOT...

    RE: cruncymomof3, Yes, believe it or not, I had so much energy during this "fast", I was able to do everything I normally do (including my hour of cardio 6 days per week and strength training). I actually had more energy and vitality than normal. And I slept better than I have in...

    "Cleanse" Your Way to Weight Loss and Better Workouts

    RE: Thanks, Kathryn. I noticed in the link Kathryn just provided, they refer to the "Lemonade Diet" as one of the cleanses. Just so you know - this is the same as "The Master Cleanser" I was referring to above...same exact cleanse, two different names. As I mentioned earlier, I have...

    Way O.T. Spiders interrupting workout.

    EEWWWW. I can handle most critters but I am such a girl when it comes to spiders. I get freaked out when I see them. I can handle lizards, snakes, rodents, etc...but NOT spiders!!! }(

    barbells vs dumbells

    Not Cathe- I finally broke down a bought a barbell and yeah...it has made a big difference in my form. It's also nice to have the option to add/subtract weight for each particular exercise. I got my 100 lb. set from The Sports Authority for $45.00.

    For those that eat 1800-2500 calories a day

    "Cleanse" Your Way to Weight Loss and Better Workouts

    RE: Cleanse If you want to try a non-gimicky, natural cleanse, I suggest "The Master Cleanser" program, designed by Stanley Burroughs many, many years ago. I picked up a copy of his book for like $5 at Whole Foods, but you really don't need it...there is so much information available on the...

    "Cleanse" Your Way to Weight Loss and Better Workouts

    RE: I did the Master Cleanser about 7 months ago (which does not require you to buy anything from a company...no gimicks). You make everything yourself with fresh ingredients. You drink a concoction of freshly squeezed lemon juice, organic maple syrup (grade B) and cayenne pepper for 10 days...

    What Did She Say???

    In KPC, I always laugh during the part when she switches from jacks to a different move quite rapidly and then says "are you still jacking around?" or something like that. EDIT: I just noticed that someone else already posted about this one. Oh well! It's funny anyway. ;)

    fat personal trainer

    Just like I wouldn't want someone with bad hair to do my hair or someone who is a lousy pianist to teach me to play piano, I probably wouldn't want to go to a trainer who isn't fit. That may sound bad, but I just don't think I could logically trust what they have to say..."Do as I say but not...

    Anyone NOT count calories?

    Hi, I don't really count mine on a daily basis, but I do know approximately how many I consume, based on what I eat every day. So for me, the focus is not really on calories, although I am aware of how many I am taking in. I focus on eating "clean", moderate portions, and working out...if...

    Pyramids!!

    Thanks for the info, everyone! It is always helpful to hear from those who have already experienced the progression. If I am doing this workout 2x per week, approximately how long does it *generally* take before I will be ready to incrementally increase the weights? I know it's different for...
