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.

@erica : The instructions from Stanley Burrough’s was to do the salt water flush. Well, I would think you definitely need to do the salt water flush.

First Day… So far so good. Already did two 10 oz glasses. SWF was not as bad as I thought. I do think tho that I put too much cayenne pepper because my mouth was burning! Had to chase the lemonade with water. Will definitely use a little less tomorrow. Determined to do it at least for 7 days. Good Luck to everyone!!!!!

This is my first day of the master cleanse. I did not do the easing in process and feel fine thus far. It is only day one and 4:19pm though. Im still pretty excited to see if I last 10days and after 10 if I want to try 20.

my first day is drawing to a close. kept myself entertained so as not to feel hungry ! my friends however feel that the cleanse is stupid but they understand that i’m doing it for self-satisfaction. so that i’m happy with my body. obviously no-one is ever 100% happy with their body but i want to get as close to it as possible. dinner on my first day should be a challenge however but i’ll keep everyone posted.

After reading all the instructions, reviews and other people’s personal experiences I am encouraged to do this more than ever. I have been going through stomach cancer treatments for quiet a while. After all the drugs and shots that’s manifested my body I feel its necessary for me to relieve myself from all the toxic that’s inhabited my body. My skin and hair has changed over the course of a year. At 24, I look and feel like someone who is in their 50s (no offense). I hope that through these simple home remedies, I can cleanse and give myself control over my body.
So, I will start tomorrow and am going to run to the supermarket to get all the supplies.
Thanks everyone!!

Day one…..was worse than I thought! I did the swf with 2 tsp of salt….now I am seeing some other postings that call for one tsp. Ill try that tomorrow. As soon as I managed to ge the swf down, I was on the bowl for about 30 minutes. Now everytime I cough I think I’m going to have an accident! How do you manage to go to work while doing this??? I really never liked the taste of maple syrup so this is going to ba an extreme challenge but this is the most I have ever weighed and have 4 weddings coming up in June and july so, I am giving this my best shot. weighed in at 149.2 this morning…

This my first day of the master cleanse. So far, I am excited and feeling positive about my decision.It doesn’t taste bad, however,my mouth and chest are burning from the cayenne pepper( will use less tomorrow). I am trying not to think about food, instead, I am thinking about how great I will look after 10 days or more…

First day and it is only noon. Salt flush this morning was completely unsuccessful. About 30 minutes after getting down only 1/2 of the salt mixture- I threw it all back up. I didn’t want to drink the herbal tea in case there was still some salt water in my system, so at this point there have been no eliminations.
I’m pretty hungry, but mostly have gotten waves of nausea. I’m not sure if it just the thought of the salt water or if the lemonade is getting to me. It doesn’t taste bad- mostly just has a sweet foul smell.

@Noel : That’s the way to go! look forward towards how good you will feel at end of 10 days and you will definitely make it successfully.

@kim : did u try to have lick the maple syrup in the end to try to get rid of the taste?
Maybe you want to try the laxative tea for the moment while getting use to the salt water flush.

First morning of the first day…. I think it tastes great! I went as far as to buy the Hollywood 48 hour Diet in order to do a cleanse, but right before I started, my father told me about this one. It seems a lot healthier….and according to him, much tastier.
Glad I don’t have to suffer for two days with no food and yucky tasting liquid.
I’m not doing the SWF, teas, or laxatives as I only plan on doing this for 3 days at the most. My digestive system is pretty sensitive, so I should have no trouble “eliminating” the toxins.
I also didn’t do the Ease-In. I just ate very light and healthy yesterday. Dinner was from the Juice Bar at the Health food store, and OJ to kill the hunger before bed.
I think I’ll do pretty well today just from the adrenaline as the article says. Good luck to everyone!

Today is the first morning of day one and I feel horrible. I just did the SWF and now feel like I am going to vomit everywhere. I really want to complete this cleanse – for weight loss,but mostly for self satisfaction. I feel really sick right now and am not sure what to do. I’ll try to get through it.

I took the Smooth Move Tea last night before bed and it freakin KILLED my belly. I was up all night with pains. Finally around 3:30 i decided to do the SWF. It worked, but it was not liquid, but regular poop. I found this weird.
So today I feel tired as hell, but I had my first drink this morning and I plan on rockin on through it.
Im very nervous about taking the Smooth Move tonight as it is any BUT smooth. Does anyone have any suggestions on the tea?

This is day 1 for me. I haven’t started with the salt yet so I will try tomorrow. I feel hungry, but nothing too intolerable. Food runs my life I have noticed, without it, I fear not knowing who I am. I have a very bad headache (that may just be caffeine withdrawal). Anyways, I hope to overcome my addictions on this cleanse and make it through the complete 10 days because I have a pretty good inclination to quite things.
