Today I started a cleanse called the master cleanse. I'm only allowed to have water, lemon, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. I'm doing this for 3 days total and today is the first day. I haven't actually felt hungry until the last hour or so when co workers were eating amazing smelling food and I couldn't eat anything! I'm doing this to cleanse and just give my organs a break from digesting for a few days. Its kind of gross to say but I'm actually starting to smell in a different way than usual, I guess its the toxins coming out? I'm not so hungry that I feel lightheaded or anything like that, I guess because of the sugar and carbs from the maple syrup but I would really love to have an apple! I think if I just added fruit it wouldn't wreck the cleanse right? lol look at me, I'm already trying to negotiate with myself! :)
so like I said, no too bad, just feeling alittle hungry and some growling from my stomach but can still function so thats good. Maybe this is good too because when I do get to eat on Friday I won't take for granted all the yummy foods I'm tasting and I bet the tastes will be heightened. Kind of gross, but have not gone to the bathroom yet, which is supposed to happen pretty soon after I started this thing, maybe I just don't eat so bad normally so I don't have much in there??? day 1 down!

Thanks for stopping by! Not sure I could do your "detox" diet but I did spend the last 2 days on a "detox" of sorts through my weight loss plan. Good luck to you! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! Popping over from SITS Roll Call to visit.
ReplyDeleteWith our typical American diet (especially in th south here where I live) that is high in sugars and carbs, I think a cleanse once or twice a year is a good thing to do and I've always wondered about this Master Cleanse stuff, so I'll be anxious to see what you think of it.
I have to say I do admire your confidence in doing this during the week and while working though, yikes! I was never brave enough to do a cleanse on anything over than a weekend, where I knew I could be home and near a toilet!!
Can't wait to see how you do and what you think of Master Cleanse!
Have a great rest of the week.
thanks for your comments guys! Its been great to cleanse, even though I've only lasted for two days! I do feel cleaner and a bit healthier and lighter after that:) I would definetly suggest it but, I would take your advice Mary, and next time try it while on vacation from work!
