Warn Your Family First
|
When you decide to do the Master Cleanse lemonade diet to lose weight and detox the body, I would suggest that you WARN YOUR FAMILY first!
You may have a lot of strange smells (not good ones) coming from your body for the duration of the Master Cleanse weight loss and detoxification process. |
For the first 3 or so days, you will probably experience a lot of bowel movements. The excrement may appear very dark or even tarry-looking. This is normal! You are in detox mode — your body is getting rid of waste that has been impacted in your intestines for YEARS! Your bowel movements may be very hard and even scratchy because they have molded to the shape of your intestines from being inside of your body so long.
After the 3rd or 4th day, I stopped having bowel movements because I was not eating any solid foods. This is when I started to lose more weight. A large part of the colon cleanse process was complete. Then my body was able to detoxify itself of other toxins, and even remove some fatty material.
You can expect to lose about 1 to 2 pounds a day, if you can stick with the program that long. I went from 176 pounds down to 168 pounds so far. But my goal weight loss is 25 pounds (150 pounds), so I’ve still got my work cut out for me. I seem to be slimming down a bit. My pants are a bit more loose, but it is not yet significant enough for me to celebrate.
I haven’t experienced any aches and pains as some have. But I have been a bit cranky at times, and (sometimes) feel sorry for my husband. LOL!
Not to mention the gas you will probably be experiencing! Oh, the gas can be treacherous at times! This is one of the main reasons that you should only attempt this type of cleansing when you can be at home. If you have to go out to work, the gas could be a bit embarassing for you – almost as if you can’t control it at times!
You must have the right mindset to sustain the Master Cleanse diet! Plan to be on it for the 10-day duration, but if you can last at least 3 to 5 days, you can still benefit from it! It can be very tough to stick to at times.
I failed on my first attempt on the Master Cleanse lemonade diet because I did not remove the snacks from my cabinet, and I got tortured just knowing they were there and I couldn’t eat them. I gave in. (sigh…)
So I was much more prepared this time because I already had some idea of what to expect. Be consistent! The Master Cleanse diet is FREE. but books are offered to show you how to stick with it, and also to show you what you CAN eat to help you get through it.
