master cleanse part 2
well guys
it's day 4
having started drinking the lemonade drink on saturday
for those who don't know the master cleanse is a combinatino of fresh squeezed organic lemons, maple syrup and chayanne pepper
it's all you drink for 10 days or more
no juice, no food, no nothing.
you are able to drink herbal teas but are advised not to drink soo much
you drink a "smooth move" tea at night to aid is laxadation and digestion
and then in the morning you drink a quart of salt water
over all it's drink that cleanses your system
so far... it's been easy
nothing too out of the ordinary
many people say, i could never do that, i could never stop eating food for that long etc
i thought that too but then i realized before i did the cleanse that 10 days out of your life is nothing. in the long run it's about 14 days or so that you really don't eat solid food, but still thats nothing. it's not going to kill you, it's not going to do any serious damage, is any damage at all.
it's a mind over matter while treating your body good.
the maple syrup holds 200 calories for every 2 tablespoons. you drink anywhere form 400-1600 (or more if you really want) calories a day
so far.. i've been averaging around 500 calories and my body has been totally fine
people wonder if it's been hard
Nope i say.. it's been easy. it's been fun/interesting to learn my bodies reaction to the cleanse. i find i'm not hungry but more want to eat when i'm bored. when i find those 30 mins inbetween this and that.. that i want to eat. i go out with my friends as they eat and i have no interest in their food. it's fun to watch them eat actually, seeing the enjoyment on their faces and the way their eat/react to their food.
the only down side so far that i can tell is that the cayanne pepper and the lack of energy created from digesting my food.. keeps me cold all the time. wearing many layers and some arm warmers i'm much better.
i've been doing a very intense yoga practice thus far during the cleanse, which as felt GREAT!! never before have i been so intuned with my practice and with my finding calm and solidity in it.
there are 6 days left, many people telling me day 7 is the worst. but i'm opptimistic.
