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.
Do post your experience in the comment section to help everyone with the cleanse.
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.
I am starting it out today… Gosh I hope I can make it! I really want to do the 10 days and hopefully 14 if I can handle it. I did the salt water flush this morning and it was gross. I think I’m going to try tomorrow with a straw and cooler water. Does anyone know the benefit to warm water? Its defiantly working though. The mixture isn’t bad, I actually like the taste. I think the hardest is giving up my morning coffee and I’m a diet coke junkie so that’s my biggest struggle right now. I’m not feeling really hungry, maybe that’s because I’m pumped to get started. I am doing this for a healthier lifestyle and to really loose weight. My goal is to drop 20 lbs. I hope this gets me on the right track to meet my goal.
First day of cleanse. I’m not hungry, but I wouldn’t mind a big burger! My weight was 141.5 this morning. I’d like to see how much I can lose. Although I am also doing it for the cleansing purposes, my real aim is to shed some weight quickly. I run and my weight gain over the winter has killed me. I would like to lose a total of 15 lbs, but anything at this point would be good.
The salt water flush is pretty bad, but I did go a few times after that, so it is working. The cayenne is making my tongue feel very hot, and my lips are burning a bit too, but not too bad!
I am excited about doing this. I tried to do it once before but failed. My husband did a 10 days cleanse and lost a lot and it actually kept him on the right track for a while.
GOOD LUCK to everyone who is trying this! Keep it up, you will be proud if you do.
something that helped me with drinking the salt flush was squeezing a teeny bit of lemon in the water…makes it a bit more manageable. Hope it helps
