MC #3 - DAY 1, August 1, 2009
My starting weight 159 lbs. This is the first of a series of journal entries while on my 3rd round on the master cleanse. My intention is to lose weight and detox my system in preparation for a healthier lifestyle that includes more disciplined eating habits. Here is my diet/lifestyle transition blog: http://myrawroadhome.blogspot.com/
Main Ingredients for the Master Cleanse Recipe * Pure Filtered Water * Grade B Organic Maple Syrup, Formaldehyde free * Organic Cayenne Pepper * Organic Lemons * Sea salt - Unrefined, (Not iodized) or Epsom Salt
Tea: * Laxative tea (Smooth Move from Traditional Medicinals (milder) or a 100% Senna Leaf tea (stronger because it is full strength) * Natural Herbal Tea (decaffeinated only, like Mint) for anytime like when you out with friends etc and need something to put in your mouth.
Below are two different recipes. The first is for a single serving of the master cleanse lemonade. The second will make 6 servings
#1 (single serving): * 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon Juice (about 1/2 a Lemon) * 2 Tablespoons of Organic grade B maple syrup (not the commercial maple flavored syrup you use on pancakes) * 1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper powder * Ten ounces of filtered water
#2 (60 oz. daily serving): * 60 ounces of filtered water * 12 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup * 12 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice * 1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
1) Before Bed take the laxative tea
2) First thing in morning do the salt water flush (32 oz warm water, 2 TEASPOONS of sea salt)
3) drink the 60oz of lemonade throughout the day in ADDITION to drinking just water. Any sign of food cravings take a swig. Can have up to 8-12 servers per day if you feel you need it but the 6 servings is ideal. (I take between 6 and 8 servings per day depending upon how I feel... although I have reduced the maple syrup by a tablespoon our so if I do as much as 8 servings).
4) go a minimum of 10 days... can go as long as 28-40! No cheating allowed. Its a short period of your life for great long term internal results. It also makes you a stronger person. WILL POWER! SELF DISCIPLINE!
Congratulations on your 3rd MC! Wow! That's a lot! You can do this. You'll see that the food cravings after this cleanse will diminish. I'm a total emotional eater and they diminished for me significantly. I will be cleansing w/you until the 14th possibly the whole journey if I decide to go 28 days. I'm seriously considering it because I've lost 14 lbs. these first 9 days and that's definitely motivation enough right? Anyway, good luck! You can do this!

I think the reason why i lost so much weight on my cleanse was due to how toxic i was..My weight literally fell off... Some days were 2-3lbs a day. You're going to go as long as your body/mind will let you. I'll do one again. I'll need to be working first. It's harder for me not to eat if i'm home all day. You can do this.

OMG I would love to lose 2-3 lbs a day - those are some awesome results. Well, I am just going to let go of being too focused on the results part and try to enjoy the journey. Thanks!
