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.
@Amy : Oh the webmaster of this website is my close friend. Yup, he sent the email to me and I’ve read it. It’s interesting what you have sent me there.
Day 5- Today and last night have been the absolute worst for me. I am so extremely hungry. I’m having the worst cravings on top of the physical hunger. I want everything greasy and not greasy. I am seriously considering starting the orange juice tomorrow but am just trying to stick through this. This is my first time trying this cleanse and I really, really want to do this. The hunger is just so intense. I can smell the food my neighbors are cooking. My boyfriend stopped by Sonic last night and I wanted food from there so bad! We went to a New Year’s Eve party later on where there were pistachio nuts, chocolate kisses, and baby carrots with dip, all of it I wanted so badly! I’m just struggling but I’ve already lost weight and am feeling “cleansed”. I’m torn. It’s only halfway, but it feels like it’s been an eternity.
At 6:00 p.m. yesterday, I stared at the vending machine before I decided that no I would not eat something. I had been looking at documents (for work) that had menu descriptions and even some pictures of food! So here it is lunch time on day 5 and I’m hanging in there. I worked out for an hour on the eliptical machine this morning. It feels good to be here – and yes it is still daunting to think that I have five more days to go. Each day it seems that I have this great temptation moment that if I can just get past the moment – things work out ok. I’m taking my bottle of lemonade to lunch. Eating is such a social ritual! By the way, I think the gum gave me mixed results yesterday. It was a relief to chew, but it kind of stimulated my appetite. Onward!
Day 5, I want to go on but I am not sure how successful I will be. Tomorrow is Saturday and weekends have always been eating out days w/ my boyfriend. Peer pressure is gonna set in.. My allergies are killing me since yesterday. I dont want to drink my pills because I am scare of what effect they will have on me since I have no food in my stomach.
@MariEli : If going out will make you tempted to eat, then stay at home! It’ll definitely help you a lot by staying at home. What kind of allergies do you have? Are your pills prescribed by a doctor?
The 5th day is the halfway mark! I keep telling myself this, but something was wrong with my batch of lemonade and I’m stuck in school for the next 6hrs.. and the beverage taste completely disgusting. I really don’t like it. As if that isn’t enough, I’ve begun to have cravings. When I get home I take power naps and those usually help a lot. My bow movements are comfortable and don’t take much effort at all; one must be careful. I just hope I can finish this. I’ve attempted to complete this cleanse 3 times already. I’ve gotten through 6 days, 8 days and then 7 days. I really am pushing to do this.
Today has been a challenge for me. Although I got a chance to go to Zumba class, and have been lucky in that I havent have cravings or headaches yet. I havent really been inspired to drink my lemonade mix nor do the SWF. And now I just feel really sleepy. Hardest thing is my guy and his french fries. Best this is that I jumped on the scale today and I think that I have lost around 5 pounds.
@marry : that’s nice, great that you have lose some weight while on the cleanse. Keep up the good work in resisting temptations and 5 more days to go!
Today is the worst day yet!! I cant stomach the taste or smell of the lemonade – its making me gag. I really want to continue but cant keep the lemonade down. I dont have cravings and have lost about 5 pounds so i would really like to continue. Need to find a way to drink the lemonade.
Hey Kristen commmon YOU CAN DO THIS…this is just one of many accomplishments and at the end you can triumph!!!!!Lets see a way to drink the lemonade, maybe alter the amt of lemonade drink less of it and more water with lime or without, I would add more maple and cayenne and less lemonade for a glass or two,then resume appropiate measurment thereafter.
Well good luck to all.
Ciao
