Hi everyone, I am on day 4 of the master cleanse, I woke up bright and early (before my alarm went off), started tidying my room and then thought- what am I doing!? haha, feeling energized today... Totally different from yesterday where I really struggled and almost packed it in! Coming to this website definitely inspired me to keep going.

I try not to way myself because I don't want to become obsessed with the weight loss, the most rewarding part for me is rising up to the challenge and not feeling bloated and stuffed full of food.

Urgh the swf is not the best part! I struggled with it the first 2days as it was foul and then no bm... but yesterday it certainly did the job- no tummy cramps that some laxatives cause, just good bm! haha decent stuff ; )

Keep going everyone!

Going into day 6. I feel the best today than any so far. My headache is gone, as are the aching legs at night. Also, as of today, I don't feel like I'm NOT going to make it. I surely will!
The elimination is definately occuring more now than in day 2 or 3. I have the salt/tea thing down to what works for me perfectly. One really has to figure out the salt intake and timing..
I am wondering on the ease out if one should consider a very healthy dose of probiotics? Stripping the intestines seems brutal in that regard.
And when is it that muscle loss is a danger? I was just concerned about Jamie Lynn who is on day 17. I haven't seen the admin answer questions for so long...I thought we might want to look into these things ourselves, (us fellow cleanser tramps)

Hi! I am on day 17 - wanting to go another 10. Is that safe or should I stop? I have a lot of air/gas pockets - I am constantly burping, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? How long can you safely do the cleanse for? Someone please respond. Thanks!

hello,
first real time starting the cleanse. I've slowed into it for the first two days and today is my real start. I've had a lot of time spent around health practitioners and looking at eating well.
My input for u kristen would be that your body doesn't have the solid matter (food) to initiate a movement, and will get the idea eventually. Also do you have any back problems if so maybe a trip to the Chiropractor or simply rolling around on the ground with a swimming pool noodle will help.
hope to hear good things.
remember Change is always occuring

Ending day 4, and I switched from the SWF from night to morning following the tea the night before. I find it more inconvenient for this morning flush as it takes an hour to "set in", but I was wondering why I hadn't had a serious movement since day one. I thought maybe the night time flush was the reason. I don't really know. Finally had that today exactly one hour after drinking the salt water at 6:30 am, (when I felt the tea starting to work). so will continue with the SWF. I have absolutely no hunger now since day 3. But, it is terribly difficult to cook for family. This is a test of disipline, which I find more rewarding than the weight loss. I have only lost a few pounds so far, I am not that overweight, just want to get less than 130 at 5'6". I have a feeling the weight loss gradually picks up, will see in the next couple days.

Hi All,

My name is Diana. I'm in day 5 and this is, I believe, the fourth time I have done the master cleanse. I do it for 10 days each time.

The SWF does not really work for me either, I have read the various comments. The important thing is to keep your bowels moving in order to get rid of the waste. You can use Herbal Tea indeed, I would recommend "Smooth Move" by Traditional Medicinal. Or you can use any other type of laxative (organic) herb mix available, containing at least senna leaf.

I have a powder here, called "green powder", which resolves (sort of) in water. I drink it first thing in the morning, last thing before I go to bed. It contains senna leafs and anise seeds. Unfortunately friends from Holland have brought it over so I am not sure if it's available in the States under a similar name. The brand is the store brand so that won't help either.

Drink enough, move enough. You may want to try the SWF again later in the cleanse.

Good luck to you all!

step one of 'preparing your nourishment' up there is quite confusing. 14 table spoons is only 7 ounces, that is significantly less than a liter which is 33 ounces. i would imagine that 2 liters for a day is a good amount to go with, but whats up with the calculations? also should i mix in the amount of water listed, and if so wouldnt that combination equal 40 ounces (1liter+7ounces)??

please help thank you

Day 4 of my cleanse and I still have NOT gone "to the bathroom" yet. Is the salt water not strong enough for me or something? I'm thinking about using one of the laxative teas that was discussed on the page instead of the SWF.

DOES ANYONE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS OF A CERTAIN BRAND OF LAXATIVE TEAS?

I have the "Laci Le Bean Super Dieter's Tea-cranberry twist flaovor" at my house, so I was planning on using that this evening INSTEAD of the SWF. Will that work ok or will it screw up my MasterCleanse in some way? I want to stick to the MC specifically with it's directions.

Any information will be useful...... Thanks everyone! ;-)

On my first day of my first cleanse...and I'm really hungry and dreading my upcoming SWF. Do the hunger pains go away after a day or two?

I am curious if the Vibrant Health Vibrant Cleanse powder works just as well. it is a hastle to squeeze and measure everything daily. the powder seems a lot less time consuming and messy, has anyone tried both the sueezing and measuring and the powder who can give me some advice?

I did the master cleanse in July and I was like 121. I did it for the standard ten days and got down to 113. I have maintained my weight by transitioning right into a low carb diet. I'm still at 113. Am about to do the master cleanse again for about 5 days because I started messing around with chocolate (this is a serious weakness) and I need to purge my system and get back on track.

HI everyone.... Today is my 3rd day of the cleanse.... But I had a question----I am doing the SWF each evening, but I have not really gone #2 yet....

does anyone know why that is? I am folloing the directions perfectly! But I haven't had any BIG #2's (sorry to be gross)...I had a tiny bit the first night, but nothing like how it is described on this website. Is there something else I can do to be getting this waste out because it is not coming out. I don't feel constipated or anything either...

??? anyone have any thoughts ??? Thanks ;-)

Hey I am thinking about doing the cleanse, just a couple questions, and hesitations flying around in my head before I start...
For those of you who have done the cleanse do you really notice a difference in the way you look, and the way your clothes are fitting, or are you just losing water weight? I understand that you are drinking lots of water and fluid throughout the cleanse however I'm still not sold on whether or not lossong that much weight, that quickly, is healthy. Also for those of you who have finished the cleanse, are you keeping your weight off, or is the weight just coming right back on as quickly as you lost it?

Day 4 of my 3rd cleanse... down 9 lbs so far and feeling great. The weekend is going to be the hardest part... Also, a question for anyone: Is it okay to do the SWF twice a day (morning and night)

Re: Directions

Sandra — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:38:42 -0000

My name is Sandra and this is my first time doing the master clease. I am doing the ease in and I am starving right now (it's my first day). I am trying to stay motivated but I can only imagine how I am going to feel when I actually start with the lemonade. My goal is to lose 10 lbs! I hope I make it!

Hi Jilene & Karen! I am on Day 15 of the Master Cleanse. I hope you are still on your diet as am I. I have had some bad days (really BAD) and some great ones. I'm trying to do 30 days and yes, you are right about the second half of the master cleanse. It feels like starting the diet over again. My 12th day was full of hunger pangs and just watching my husband eat to his little heart's content while I was sitting there sipping on spicy lemonade.

Keep going! The hardest part for me is that sometimes I have to pep talk myself into working out because I feel so tired sometimes or just lazy. So far, I've lost 35lbs, my acne has cleared, and the cravings for greasy, nasty, comfort foods ebbs more and more.

Good luck!!!
Bowie

Hello- Is this also safe for physically active people? I run about 15 miles a week and do weight training 2x a week.

Jamie Lynn — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:03:52 -0000

When I began the cleanse, I broke out with little bumps all over my face. I am now on day 13 and they haven't gotten bigger or popped. I originally wanted to go 21 days, but I think tomorrow will be my last. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know if these will go away when I stop cleansing? Thanks!

Been reading about this diet for sometime now and I just started it yesterday to give this a 10 day haul to see how it works out for me.

Re: Directions

Anna — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:01:38 -0000

I am starting the cleanse today. Day one at 10:00 am has not been that bad but I have a feeling this afternoon is going to be tough.

jilene_f — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:51:51 -0000

Congrats Karen on making it through 10 days! Feel free to contact me via twitter and let me know how your raw diet is going - I start my raw diet end of October, and I seriously can't wait hehe.

I am presently on Day 16 of 28 - and I am calling out for any long term master cleansers out there! (i.e 14 or more days!) Feeling like I need some support to go the distance! I feel like the second half I'm doing a WHOLE NEW master cleanse - it is more psychological/spiritual than a physical cleanse - anybody else feel the same?
