try the lemonade diet (master cleanser).

I felt fine for the first few days but then started to feel weak and cold. I did further reserch on the diet and found it to be lacking in many esseintail nutraints and also it did not give me enough energy. After 9 days I decided to stop, but had stomoc upsets and vominting in the next few days. I have never felt so sick in my entire life. I called the nurse and she was shocked when I explained the diet and said it was much too acidic to drink on an empty stomoc for so many days. Definitly wouldent recomend it.

I started the master cleanser today. I am not as concerned about the lack of food as the fact that I have to give up smoking for the duration. If I feel hungry I can just go drink some lemonade, which I find pretty filing. But if I want a cigarette, I just have to tough it out. Probably not the best way to quit.

I’ve read up on this diet loads and think I’m going to struggle as I love everything about food, the smell, the taste, being with friends, all eating… but I really feel I need to do this. I am planning on starting next monday for 10 days as I have 2 BBQs and a friends birthday meal between now and then but I guess I’ll take each day as it comes. Is it essential to drink the Salt Water in the morning? That bit sounds awful!!!

I understand all you drink is lemonade and tea (or the salt water)....so no food? You dont eat any food at all??

I went a whole 8 days I felt ABSOLUTELY amazing – I wasn’t hungry I haven’t had a ciggarette or booze in 14 days – I had lost 8#’s then I have no idea what happened. I started eating popcorn, famous amos cookies, potato chips, I MEAN BAGS of popcorn – 72,000 pretzels – eggplant parm – DIS-FREAKIGN-GUSTING. Needless to say all 8#’s are back after 3 days – most likely the salt intake. All I can say is I’m stopping for Easter and getting right back on it Monday – I am so angry with myself – I could totally see doing this for 20 days too – but NOOOOOO…..so for all you that want to quit DONT DO IT JUST SAY YES TO LEMONADE – this really does work. Good luck and I’ll keep u posted on my progress

After 8 days, I quit the diet. Initially, I was planning on going for 20, but I’ve gotten absolutely no support from any of my friends, or family. Absolutely everyone I know has been riding, and lecturing me all day, every day about how unhealthy it is, with absolutely no intent of reading anything about it. Unfortunately, I got too tired of explaining myself. I rather enjoyed this diet. I do feel a lot better having done it.

I didn’t do the salt water flush this morning, and I didn’t drink the senna tea last night because I have plans, which brings me to a rather important point.

IF YOU GO TO SCHOOL…don’t do this diet. Drinking the senna tea at night, and doing the salt water flush in the morning (both crucial parts of the diet) supposedly makes you crap (liquid. It’s gross, but it’s a fact) several times over the course of an hour. Well for me, personally, it takes 2 hours after I drink the salt water flush to get anything going, and then it takes more than an hour for it to completely stop. If I was still going to school, or work, I would hate to get stuck on the bus before I was completely finished, and crap my pants. It would most likely happen, cause it’s pretty unpredictable, and not something you could hold in for more than a couple minutes.

Other than that- The diet is going great. I’m getting used to not eating food, and I’m feeling a bit better. It only gets bad in the evenings, I always start craving stuff then. Anyway, it’s nothing I can’t deal with.

This is my third day on the diet. Things are getting a little easier, I’m getting used to drinking the nasty ass salt water, the uh…unusual bowel movements, and not eating any actual food. It was pretty tough for the past couple of days though, I’d be lying it I said I didn’t think about giving it up. I’ve noticed some change in my appearance, I’m sure it’s just the loss of water weight, but I do look considerably thinner. I’m definately gonna try to stick with it.

Today has been alot easier then yesterday bowels moved pretty good and didn’t even have stomach cramps(thank god). Last night got a little ruff though cravings and hunger pangs were in full effect but i just drank me lemonade and some plain water until they passed, I guess now i see what time of day i do most of my eating. Yesterday i drank more than reccommended i hope thats ok. But today i feel ok, no burst of energy yet but not sluggish either. Well pressing on, wish me luck

This is my first day trying the MC. I’ve been reading everything i could find about the diet, even found out that Beyonce Knowles did the MC for the movie role in Dream Girls. I was a little afraid after reading some of the blogs especially about the stomach cramps. I took the smooth move last nite, not bad, and it worked early this morning, now the SWF is the hardest part. I had some hunger pangs but nothing too severe. I think i can do this. I hoping it only gets easier from here.
