If you have followed the pre diet instructions, then today will be the 4th day of the master cleanse. But the truth is that this is actually the first day of the actual master cleanse. Whether you have finished the cleanse for the first time, 2nd day or even countless amount of time, the first day of the master cleanse can fill you with mixed emotions.
More often, you will have a surge of motivation that keeps you excited about day 1 hence most likely you will have no trouble doing the cleanse. But if you have no go through the pre diet, you may suddenly have a strong desire to eat as time goes by. Maybe breakfast and lunch is still alright but when it comes to the night time, you will feel the cravings haunting you.
For day 1, you may want to prepare the lemonade in the morning so that you can keep the lemonade fresh. Do take note that after 8 hours, the lemonade may turn bad even if you have kept it in the refrigerator. To the people who have just started, the making of the lemonade can be challenging although it is actually quite easy. But with close instructions on the internet, you should have no trouble making the lemonade.
To those who just embark on the 1st day of the master cleanse, we wish you good luck and congratulation that you embark on the journey to cleanse your body.
Do post your experience in the comment section to help everyone with the cleanse.
This is my day one! I am very excited and amazingly enough not hungry at all. My mind keeps trying to tell me to eat stuff but my body doesn’t seem to be craving anything. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I am on the end of day two. Started with my boyfriend and he didn’t even make it through one day. It is amazing how NOT hungry I am. My mind keeps telling me that I want to eat everything I see, but when I really think about it, I am not hungry at all, the thought of really eating food isn’t even appealing. I hope it stays this easy.
Today, is my first day and I am very excited. I am aiming for 14 days but will stop at 10 if I absolutely can not continue. Good luck all first day starters.
I am planning on starting a 2 week cleanse tomorrow. I’d love to have a support group. If anyone else is starting or looking for support, please let me know.
how much lemonade are you supposed to drink in one day?
@ashley : it’s around 6-10 servings a day!
@claire : There are many people on our site looking for support! do share with us your experience!
Is it ok to use the left over lemon jucie for your next drink/how long should you keep the excess lemon juice?
Hi!
Starting a cleanse tomorrow- think I am going to try for two weeks!
@Claire- I would love support! and to give what support I can if you are still detoxing… this is my second time around- going to try and make it even better than the first! I didn’t do the salt flush last time (just drank the tea) but I am going to go for it. How far in are you?
day 1 so far so good!
My Master cleanse journals
Day 1: the night before
04 March 2010 20:57
First day of MC, well the night before. I’m drinking the laxative tea. Is called Laksetee I don’t know if this tea is any good, but by what the staff told me at Holland and Barrats is the best laxative tea they have. I asked them for laxative tea and this is what they gave me. I’ll see if it works and helps me with this cleansing. If not I have to buy one from ebay because I cant find store that sell tea called laxative.
As for maple syrup, I couldn’t find one that said grade B. I find sea salt, and the pepper.
The tea I made for the night before, It taste vile I couldn’t drink it hot, so waited for it to cool down and got straw and drinking from it. Is bit better not that much
Sw= 77kg
so I got a straw and I’m drinking from the straw in the last 1/2hr, I don’t know if that’s good idea or what. but ill get use to it, when I do, then maybe I can drink in one go.
Cw= 77kg
Tw= 54kg
Day one: the morning
Today is my first day too. It is 7.50 am in the morning UK time. As I’m typing I’m trying to drink the sea salt. The thing taste revolting, anyone notice that lol? I cant drink it in one go
I also made the lemonade, ready to be drunk, 2 hrs after the flush. That’s my plan.
If everything goes well I’m planning the 40 day cleansing.
I’m so proud of myself of starting this, and is because of people like you guys, who says internet is not good for you, if everything goes well, is about to change my life for good. My current weight is 77kg, and I want to get down to 54 kg. I’m not just doing it for the weight loss purposes, but also I need to learn to eat healthy, I need to have better lifestyle. I’m only 22, so if I don’t teach my self some discipline now, I will be harder for me when I get older. I love junk food, is easy to get hold of, taste nice and cheap for students like me, but it has some serious side affect, some we not aware of. Not just the fact that you will put on weight, but for your healthy is has some serious consequence. I have been reading about MC for weeks now, I meant to start two weeks ago, but I want ready because I haven’t read the recommended book. So I wouldn’t want to lie to myself and say yes ill do it when I’m not mentally ready. I’m also planning to do some home exercises, don’t really want to go to the gym, just few sit ups, and running every morning. If I DO lose weight I don’t want my body to sag.
