Most people fail on the 3rd day as they are not able to withstand the hunger. As a result, some cheated on the cleanse and end up having to start over again. It is very important for you to stay focus and determined to finish the cleanse
The third day may be the height of cravings, but it is not the same for detoxification. Most people attest to having headaches, runny noses, mild colds, and rashes on the fourth day. This is mainly due to the flushing out of toxins in the body. When toxins enter the body, we experience the same reactions, as mentioned above. These reactions take place, when our immune system detects contaminants in the body. Unfortunately, it’s the same case when the body flushes out these toxins.
Almost to the end of day 3. Having slightly stronger hunger pangs, definately more intense than any to date. Had an extremely stressful day today, if anything is going to make me break, it would be outside pressure. I did learn something about myself through all of this, I am an emotional eater. I wanted to run to the fridge with each new problem that came up today, but I couldn’t and it made me think about my reaction . I didn’t really know that about myself before. What do other people do when the hit the wall like this? I am very tempted to eat something….
I did the SWF this AM and had a pretty big movement for not eating anything for two days. I am guessing that this is the built up waste?
Well, if I make it through tonight, I will update tomorrow…
I am on day 3. Each day so far, I’ve had a moment or two where I thought I can’t do this I have to eat, but so far I have held on. I even prayed for a moment today that I be relieved from the need to complete this fast. It is definitely supportive to know that others are perservering. I know we can make it!
I’m half way through day 2 and I am struggling with another bad bad headache. I’m a coffee drinker and I suspect that this is largly contributing to it. I’m also very tired. I’m hoping that I’ll get that burst of energy and feeling healthy again. I hate feeling yucky! Mind over matter…mind over matter…
Hi it is me again, I was a mess yesterday, but not anymore. My day 3 actually feels like a breakthrough, I am cramping a bit, but no hunger pangs. I made my favorite thing for dinner last night for my children and I didnt touch a bite, and yes it was hard. I dont have the cravings that I had yesterday at all. My mind is clearer, a little fuzzy, but not like before, I feel better. I feel like the chains that food obsession has over me are breaking. Food was becoming my bestfriend, in the car just me and food. Heartbreak felt better with food! I had a 50 pd weight gain in three yrs., I was killing myself. Thank God for showing me the Masters Cleanse, I pray for strength to go to ten days maybe more…
I am at the start of day 3. I feel ok but everytime I open the fridge I find myself automatically reaching for food and then remember I am not eating food right now. Another perk to this is that I don’t have to worry about which foods I am choosing, which I tend to struggle with. This has really been an eye opening experience for me, I keep thinking I can’t go on and I do. I am going to get through ten days!
I am half way through day 3 and I am feeling great, I think I am just waiting for the temptations and headaches to hit but so far so good. The key for me has been getting out of the house. The challenge for me has been preparing the meals for my family while I am not eating. My husband has been good about trying to eat when I am not around, but today the steak plate that he had just smelled so good (good thing I already gave up red meat). Looking forward to the rest of the days.
Today is my Day 3 and it’s about 9:39pm here in Los Angeles.
The craving was not as bad as Day 1 or Day 2. I felt the hunger pangs twice today. I put a cup of the lemon juice in the freezer and make slushes. I am happy that Day 3 is a success! Doing the SWF shortly! Wish me luck!
I weighed 192 lbs at the start of my diet. Now on Day 3, I am at 183.5 lbs. I have lost a total of 8.5 lbs. I don’t know if this is normal or not. But I feel fantastic!
Wello Day 3 is done,., yes!!!!! I must say today was a bit harder than the others, I was actually pretty hungry, but I steadfast and triumphed with God grace, naturally. I also came home and still had my usual burst of energy on Sunday evenings after work, I walked 3 miles on the treadmill instead of running and did my hair, but after that I fell out.. dead to sleep.. WOW!!! All of sudden I was EXTREMELY tired, which was good, cause then sleep couldnt think about eating. So needless o say day 3 was a success.. 7 more to go!
Ciao

Greetings! I completed the cleanse last year and am finishing Day 3 of this cleanse. I practice Bikram Yoga regularly and went to class on Day 1 and tonight. I can’t believe how flexible I felt tonight and had so much energy for the entire class. Other than having a slight headache, I feel great. Although I like to do the cleanse for detoxifying, I am pleased to lose the winter puffiness that I seem to end the season with every year.
Good luck everyone – you can do it! Just keep busy. And if you feel a little run down, give yourself time to rest. It is all part of the process.
