Comments on: Day 9 http://themastercleanserecipe.org Master Cleanse, Lemonade Diet, Master Cleanse Diet Recipe Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:11:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: mike http://themastercleanserecipe.org/master-cleanse-journal/day-9/comment-page-1#comment-136691 mike Tue, 11 Oct 2011 15:45:40 +0000 http://themastercleanserecipe.org/?page_id=139#comment-136691 I am encouraged by all of you who led the way and made it possible for me to get to day 9. I, too, awoke with a headache, but it wasn't too bad. I feel strong, but I can't wait to eat...anything! Actually, I'm craving a spinach salad. Gum has helped with the trench mouth, which was at it's worst day 7. I think, like many, that we all experience this in a slightly different way. At the same time, it's good to know there are patterns in it all. I've lost no weight in 9 days! In fact, this morning I weighed 1.7# MORE than the day I started, but at 165# and 6'2", I was not working with much body fat (about 11%)so unlike most, I wasn't looking for weight loss, just the benefits of the cleanse. Now my plan is to follow the "Body for Life" plan by Bill Phillips. I actually would like to gain 10-20#, but NOT fat. With 9 back surgeries behind me, every ounce of fat hurts like hell. Being fat-free and trim works miracles on my back and quality of life. Thanks again!!! I am encouraged by all of you who led the way and made it possible for me to get to day 9.

Day 9 has me ready to be over with this. I have been nauseated by the taste in my mouth since day 7. I have to eat mints and chew gum to make it through. I was gonna try one day at a time after day 10 but I am being tortured by this taste. Brushing doesn't help after the lemonade helps for a while then back. I am excited about the results but I am more miserable by now. I really wanted to do 14 days! Day 9 has me ready to be over with this. I have been nauseated by the taste in my mouth since day 7.

My tongue is still coated and this morning I woke up w/a headache. The headache didn't last and I had no more after that. My face is still blemished a little bit. I never had blemishes before I started the MC. My BM is pretty much clear. Two days ago and this morning there was a little pea sized feces. Does this mean I will have to go past the 10 days? I haven't been drinking much water other than the LD. Over the weekend I drank less of the LD. I never cheated by eating food, though. I just finished my 9th day.

Since there is only Day 9 and I went 15 days I decided to post the rest of those days here for anyone that might go longer. Today I woke up at 2:45 and did SWF at 3:11. I had Smooth Move BM at 3:17 and then SWF BM at 3:55 and then at 4:00, then 4:15.I decided to try the water in-between to see if I could get more flush so I drank 8 ounces of water and had another at 4:32 then water and at 5:22 and 5:44. Not only did I have more BM they seem to be more flushing due to increased volumes of water. I headed in to work at 6:00 and had my 1st LD at 7:30 and then at 10:30, 12:30, 2:30, 4:30. I drank Smooth Move Tea at 7:30 and went to bed. This was a good day and I can tell I’m getting cleaner inside by what isn’t coming out. I had no side effects at all today. Day 9 bites the dust! Day 10 October 13, 2010 Today I woke up at 1:00. No BM from the tea or I’m too early for it to have worked. I weighed 180.8, fat percent 17.9, bone mass 7.4, water percentage 59.9 and BMI 24.4. So far I have lost 11.2 averaging 1.24 pounds a day. I would rather the average be up around 2 pounds but since I’m doing only 6 or less lemon drinks a day I guess this is as good as it gets for me. I did the SWF at 1:20 and laid back down then got up and had my first BM at 2:15 and then at 2:33, 2:49, 3:01, 3:12, 3:27, 3:55 and then one at 5:25. I napped in between BMs. I stayed up after the last BM and showered, shaved, dressed and it was off to work. I did my first LD at 7:15 and then at 9:30, 11:50, 3:00, 5:00 and then at 7:00. . I measured to see what level of Ketosis I was in using a Bayer Ketostix. I measured a small about (15mg/dl); the highest you can go is 160mg/dl. This accounts for the limited weight lose. During a water fast I normally top out at 160mg/dl but it is defiantly harder on the body, mind and spirit. I took this measurement right after a LD so tomorrow I will take another reading after I get up in the morning. I drank Smooth Move Tea at 8:15 and went to bed Looks like I will go longer than 10 day but I don’t want to speculate as to how long. Day 11 October 14, 2010 Today I woke up at 2:30 and had BM at 3:11. I weighed 179.4 (first time to that number in a while), fat percent 14.8, bone mass 7.6, water percentage 62.1 and BMI OF 24.2. Blood pressure was 110/72. I took another measurement today using Bayer Ketostix and it read normal no fat, so we must burn our fat in the daytime and not at night. I did the SWF AT 3:33 with BMs following at 4:00 and 5:22. I did my first LD at 7:45 and then at 9:50, 12:30, 2:55, 5:00 and 7:00. I did a peppermint tea at 11:00. I did SMT at 8:00 and went to bed. Day 11 bites the dust! Day 12 October 15, 2010 Today I woke up at 3:22 and measured Ketosis which was 5mg/dl (very low). I weighed 178.6, fat percent 15.3, bone mass 7.6, water percentage 61.1 and BMI 24.2. Blood Pressure was 130/80 so I took a BP pill. I had BM AT 3:30. I did the SWF at 3:44 and 1st BM at 4:18 and then at 4:36, 4:48, 5:05, 5:22, 5:50 and then at 6:02. I did LD at 7:28, 9:50, 12:10, 2:30 and at 6:41. I did a SMT at 8:00 and went to bed. Day 13 October 16, 2010 Today I woke up at 4:00 and had BM at 4:11, 4:24 and 4:33. Blood Pressure was 92/62. I weighed 177.4, fat percent 15.1, bone mass 7.4, water percentage 61.9 and BMI of 24.0. I did SWF at 4:49 and had first BM at 5:29, 5:44, 6:00, 7:29 and 7:45. I did my first LD at 8:00 and then at 10:30, 12:40, 3:00, 6:00 and then at 9:25. Today I move all my plants inside which was a task. I have over 50 gallon size plants 4 very large plans and assorted others. It took me most of the day. We had a football party with lots of food but I have no desire to eat. I did SMT at 11:45 and went to bed. Day 14 October 17, 2010 Today I woke up at 9:30 and had BM AT 10:20 and 10:20. I weighed 176.2, fat percent 14.8, bone mass 7.4, water 62.1 and BMI of 23.8. Blood pressure was 102/70. I did SWF at 10:40 and BM at 11:30, 11:40, 11:55 and 12:20. I did my first LD at 12:10 and then at 2:30 and at 5:30. I did a SMT at 7:30 and went to bed. Day 14 bites the dust. I’m feeling fine and have decided to go a little farther. I will continue until I run out of all supplies, maybe another couple of days. I would like to be up to solid food by the week-end. Day 15 October 18, 2010 Today I woke up at 2:00. I weighed 175.0, fat percent 15.4, bone mass 7.4, water percentage 61.7 and BMI 23.7. My blood pressure was 99/62. I did the SFF at 2:15 and had my first BM at 3:00 and then at 3:05, 3:13, 3:27, 3:45. I went back to bed and got up at 5:22 and got ready and went to work. I had my first LD at 6:30 and then at 9:30, 12:45 and the last one at 2:30. I stopped and bought veggies for a veggie soup for tonight. Today I was hungry for the first time in 15 days. Tonight at 6:00 will make 15 days exactly and I plan on having some broth with just a little soft veggies. I’m going to make a potato, scallion, butternut squash, snow peas, moog beans, carrots, cabbage and mushrooms soup. I seasoned with some soy bacon bits, Italian herbs, garlic, pepper salt and three bay leaves. I cooked half of it until real tender and smashed with potato smasher and then added the other half and all the cabbage. I ate 1 ½ small bowls and it filled me up. Probably should have stopped on one bowl! I ate 5 wheat crackers. The detox is over and I can see doing it again after January 1, 2010. Now for the hard part keeping the live style changes going. Now that I should have some energy I will start an exercise program and start a flexaterrian lifestyle. Day 9 October 12, 2010

I have to say, I am pretty damn excited for this thing to be over. I never had a day where I was comfortable being around food and not eating it, unfortunately. It's been a struggle the entire time. Of course, today was easier than many days past, and I'm certain I will finish this thing. I just wish I had the symptom that so many people describe, where they want to keep going and don't mind it so much anymore. I can't wait to eat!! Oh well. My skin is clear, my stomach is much flatter, my upper thighs are more slender, and I have a huge sense of pride regarding my willpower. Willpower has always been one of my bigger weak spots, so doing this has meant a lot to me as I prepare for a busy year in which I refuse to sacrifice healthy living. Good luck everyone!!!
