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.

Most people have trouble drinking the salt water flush for the first time, but you must still drink it. If you have trouble drinking it, don't give up because it gets easier every time! Add more water to dilute it if you can't swallow it but makes it harder every time.

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.

I have finished day one of the cleanse and it was not difficult. I want to know the best time in the a.m. To do the SWF. Also what time should I start and finish drinking the master cleanse? Also are there side effects for “to much” cayanne pepper in the mixture?
@Tai : There is no best time to drink the salt water flush, you can just drink when you are awake. As for the master cleanse lemonade, you can drink it as and when you are hungry but need to drink at least 6-10 servings a day.
Nah.. there are no side effects for the cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper is one of the best herbs in the world.
@emma thanks! And with the SWF can I take it multiple times until I get the right balance to ensure it does its job? I have tried it but the results were not what I anticipated. Well let me know
@Tai : Just curious, what are you anticipating? Sometimes for different people, it would need more days for your body to cleanse. Some people didn’t even have any bowel elimination till their 4th day or more. you would need to observe few more days and see what it happens..
I’m a little confused on how often should I drink the lemonade and a glass or two of water. In other words, should I be sipping the lemonade throughout the day or drink water in between? Is it either or?
One more question, I thought I read somewhere that I could use agave syrup instead of organic B grade syrup, is that correct?
i was just wondering how meny times u do the salt water flsuh or if its just once, and whens a good time?
@rosie : you do the salt water flush once a day (preferably morning) during the whole cleanse to help you with the bowel elimination! all the best!
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.
