Finishing day 7, and so glad. I dread evenings cause thats when I THINK I’m supposed to eat and thats usually when I did most my eating before. On the other hand I look forward to the evening so I can call it another day accomplished on the MC. It has really helped to get that extra support I need by reading everyones daily progress. I have been weighing myself daily and was losing 1 lbs/day but it didn’t move at all today and that was hard to take , but I told myself even if I don’t lose any weight at all I have done an amazing cleanse for the health of my body and mind and spirit. 3 more days to go, I can do this and so can you.

Day 7, woke up and had a calmness even though I had a kind of chaotic morning! The SWF and tea are working quite well…I did find out that perimenopausal wt gain can be avoided by doing cleanses, and thats were I’m at right now…and my hot flashes that have been really intense in the last few months, even though I have been taking soy isoflavins and black cohash and Amberen (which helped somewhat) but since I’ve been doing the MC, my hot flashes have been almost nonexistent! I do get a little heated after I drink the lemonade, it must be the cayenne pepper! Ya’ think? heehee…down 8lbs and my goal is 10, but I want to stay on this an extra 4 days as my guy is not going to be home until then and I am not as tempted when he’s not around! Stay strong!

Day 7:Felt great!!. I got hungry earlier in the morning but i figured i was not drinking as much.My boyfriend says that my nake shows…that felt good. I also tried on one of my medium sized Gym top and it fits better! I did the elliptical again for 1hr and i have gotten over the feeling that i might be too weak to work out! wt lose todate=8lbs. I feel like i am just starting the fast….bring it on day 8!

@Glenda : Hi Glenda! I don’t know what to tell you about your concerns. Are you losing inches around your waist and stomach? I had my regular “routine” the first day and since then it has been a watery elimination in the morning and then at night following the salt water cleanse. No big eliminations, but what I did notice in Days 2 – 5 was the release of a lot of liquids and gas that I think was trapped inside. My waistline is back to normal and my stomach is flat. (I’m not comfortable sharing all this, but maybe it will be helpful!)

This is my Day 7 and I’m feeling great – my skin is totally clear, my eyes seem clear and white and I have a lot of energy. I don’t weigh myself, but I know I have lost several inches around my waist, hips and legs. I had my snug jeans on last night and they were so loose that I had to keep pulling them up! When I do yoga, I am super flexible and my energy level is consistent, despite the heated room.

I have to say that I’m getting kind of bored with the lemonade and herbal tea and am looking forward to finishing and chewing – on something healthy of course! This experience is such a wake up call to my eating and drinking patterns.

Hi all,

I am very worried because I have not had any substantial BM’s. Some have been mucus like and the rest very watery. It is now day 7 and still… On around day 4 I began to get somewhat of a rash on my face and it has not gone away. It does not itch, however but it still worries me. One I have not done consistently is drinking Spring water. I have been drinking tap water most of the time. But that hardly seems ground for the detox not to work. Can anyone shed some light to my worries? Thanks

Day 7 , I can say it tested my character and discipline, but THANK GOD for Thrift stores.. I went shopping, did lots of walking, pretty much stayed busy… so I made it. My body ached a lot today, I wonder where does that stem from? However, other than the weird pain I was alright.
Also it seems food is foreign to me, like I am ready to eat, but Im scared… LMAO… how goofy is that???

Going to sleep so I can welcome day 8 with a smile.

February 21 started my 7th day of the fast. I have not seen what I consider to be the substantial bowel movements that I expected. Like some others I have not taken the SWF. I took the smooth move tea three of the nights. I will take it for the remainder of the time I’m on the cleanse. The little elimination that I did see was not dark or very unusual from what I’m used to. It seems as if all of those who are having the productive eliminations are able to do the SWF. Is there an alternative to that? I believe that I eat fairly healthy and don’t eat any red meat and very little dairy. I really hope that things get moving before this is done. Although I have seen positive change in my body I’d have to wait a while before I start the 10 day detox again.

Day 7: There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Now, it’s all controlling the mind. I feel a little cooky and although I know I’m not going to quit, my mind is playing tricks. The description of day 7 above is VERY accurate. I have been having an awful ache on my left side almost behind my lower ribs. I know it isn’t kidneys or anything, I have no idea what it is. It hurts worse today than ever. It’s bothered me before occasionally. Still haven’t eliminated substantial dark matter that has been described, but the SWF’s are working as they should. Hoping something will in the next three days. Energy level is lower, but I’m still getting what I need to get done during the days. Trouble sleeping. Looking forward to cooking primarily vegetarian. I’ve been spending my time lusting for food finding healthy recipes/food combinations for the future.
