These are the most common sentiments felt by most people on The Master Cleanse Diet. Are you making any progress, or are you wallowing in failure? Have you noticed significant and positive changes, or has the diet worked for you at all? By now, are you sailing through, or are you still struggling? What you should put into mind is the sense of accomplishment once you finish the diet. Yes, it is a constant struggle, and who said it was going to be easy, but what’s in store for you in the end will be worth all the hardship.
This is not the same for everyone. Some people make it; some people don’t. That’s the reality. Not everybody can plant this kind of mindset in his or her frame of mind. It does take a lot of determination. For others who don’t make it, this does not mean they were doing The Master Cleanse wrong. If they probably stayed on the diet a little bit longer, they may have made it through to the end. This does not mean they have failed entirely, but on the contrary, can try it again on another time.
I hope that by this day, the bulk of the mental and physical hunger has already past. By this time, you will be able to triumph over the cultural and social pressures, which use to be the norm.
On day 4, I felt great this morning woke up with lots of energy. So’ I mowed the lawn ,drove my mother to her doctor’s appointment,washed several loads of clothes. I only feel really hungry around dinner time. I haven’t been keeping a journal though, I’ve kept a lot of this stuff to myself. I feel as though a fast or cleansing should only be between God and yourself.
I am on day 5 now, and physically I feel fine. I started with 3 days of watermelon a week ago and then the Master Cleanse. I seem to be in an emotional fog, sort of depressive- and not quite able to find my usual joy for life. I wonder if my liver is releasing a lot of old grief. I got an acupuncture treatment today, which helped a lot. My sleep is better, I am not waking up at 3 or 4 am in the morning as I do quite often, but at 5.30- which is nice, because I like the early morning. Am hoping for a breakthrough in mood, meanwhile I love to look at beautiful pictures, read spiritual teachings and do some yoga and breathing.
On day 5 now…feeling energetic…went on scale this morning and wt was down 7lbs! My tongue is starting to shed it’s white film and overall I’m doing well, although I tend to have fleeting thoughts about food, it’s not about sugary or fattening ones, it’s about real good foods! In the past when I dieted I craved all the “bad” stuff, right from the start, but I feel different this time…as if this is what I need to do to remove years of sludge from my body, yes, I am feeling a little “out of sorts” but I believe it’s part of the process and it’s far from depression, which I have experienced in the past, staying positive and focused.
Day 5, this has been a much easier process this time around.I tried before and failed but I think it was because I was 3weeks into quitting smoking cold turkey after 10 years. I have been craving food quite often but I find something to do to get my mind off of it…I’ve lost 10 pounds so far and I’m not overweight so it’s quite incredible.
It is my fifth day and I feel drained and exausted, I felt really good the third and forth but today is really rough. I can’t focus. I feel really weak and disoriented. I don’t feel hunger I am just really weak and sleepy. I also have aches and pains here and there. My knee (an old injury) is killing me, makes it difficult to walk. I expected the energy everyone is talking about so I am sort of disappointed I am not sure what is going on. I hope tomorrow will be better.
