I'm going for it: Master Cleanse

OK - I'll be the guinea pig! Today was day one for me on Master Cleanse. So far, all I've done is chugged (barely) a quart of salt water. Uck. I had to leave about 3/4 of a cup - it just was not going down. Now I'm waiting for the lower earth to move but just feel mildly nauseous and do not have "the urge" yet. Tummy is starting to rumble. Watch out!!!

I thought I would post a journal of sorts here so those of you who, like me, are wanting to do a cleanse can follow along and see how it goes! :eek:
 
Oh gawd - I can barely rinse with salt water, let alone drink it. Hats off to you! Thanks for keeping us posted - my cleansing products are scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
 
It's the 10 day Master Cleanse "lemonade" one where you drink a laxative tea each night (haven't done that part yet) then down a quart of salt water first thing in the morning, then drink your "lemonade" all day. Those aren't the technical rules, just the overview!
 
I've been reading about this cleanse and it intrigues me. You're pretty brave to try it!

So you'll have no solid food for 10 days? Will you continue with your regular workouts or scale back, or maybe just take this time as a total rest period?
 
OK - I admit I am a failure and/or a wino. I endured the lemonade cleanse for a whopping 1 3/4 days... Getting the salt water flush down was simply too gross. I almost barfed each time I swallowed. And I had zero exceptional elimination. Zero. Probably because I couldn't get down enough salt water, as Dianne pointed out. (And thanks, Dianne and Sara, for all your excellent information! I truly appreciate it and find it very interesting!) The other thread has been very interesting and very helpful. I will definitely try the psyllium husks. Sound sensible for a not-too-regular gal like me.

I was thinking that vodka would be good in the lemonade... Now that I'm impure again, I think I'll try it!:eek: :p
 
You are very welcome for the info! My mother was kind enough inform and teach me. I am so happy to pass her studies and knowledge on. This has helped her, her brother, sister, and my stepdad. Although, my stepdad won't stop drinking beer. (full of yeast, but good on a hot day).

By the way, vodka and lemonade might make it come out on both ends if you drink enough! :)
