master lemon cleanse

The first time I did it I did it for 9 days without cheating at all. It was the trippiest thing ever and I lost like 12 lbs. My skin was awesome and I had alot of energy although I was FREEZING in the office. The only reason I quit before the 10th day was because I got into a car accident. A b*tch hit me and I was so stressed I came off the cleanse that day.

I've tried again since but would only make it to 3, 4 days.

did you read the book?

you picked a great time to do it, I've tried to do it in the winter and it's impossible, you are so cold and you crave comfort food

lol, what do you want to know?

It's def hard, physically and mentally challenging but you never feel 'hungry' if you are taking enough lemonade.

You take a senna tea at night and are supposed to do a salt water flush in the morning. THat is the roughest part since it's a quart of warm water with 2 teaspoons of salt (with no iodine). I've found that the cleanse isn't as effective (for me) if you don't do the swf. you don't have food in your system to 'go' so the SWF flushes it out and you have 'butt pee' within an hour.

I did it because I was eating so much junk for months and needed a total overhaul.

Be prepared to gain back half the weight almost as soon as you start eating as your body rehydrates as well as carry food in your stomach. You are supposed to follow a raw/vegan diet to keep your body clean. I tried but it's very difficult. I eventually gained the 12 lbs back but actually not as fast as I thought! FH and I went on a cruise right after where we ate like crazy and I came back only 5 lbs heavier.

if you try it, read stanley burrough's book first. it's only 70 pages and it's pretty interesting.

There are alot of variations on the web so it's helpful to read his philosophy and where the diet originated.

I think that's the right attitude with this cleanse, it is kind of going 'cold turkey' with junk and starting your body from scratch so to speak.

good luck! let us know how it goes

tomorrow or Thurs will be my last day..

Oh Nooo

I cant do this type of Cleanses...
I always want to do a Good Cleanse but I am a BIG CHICKEN about it bc i know i will not be able to survive the whole day with DRINKS or just Fruits or Veggies....

My mom did something like this it was called the lemonade diet she lost 8 pounds in 10 days
all you can drink no eatting is some mixture of squeezed lemons syrup and other stuff but thats all u can have idk how she did it

Ok I was just reading the thing online....i think i can totally do it! Especially now while i'm still working. Once summer hits it will be hard since i'm home all day. My only question is:

How long do you do it for? I see some people said they made it 10 days, others did it for a few days.

Stanley burroughs (the guy behind the cleanse) says the minimum amount to get the benefits is 10 days and maximum of 40 days. I think you're supposed to wait 3 months between cleanses. It might be two though
