Keep it simple, just use your own everyday language to talk about your daily experience. The more you are yourself, the more others will connect with you, and the more you can connect with them – which is, after all, what we want; a strong support network via a group experience.
What is going through your mind? We have thoughts that seem out of control when we are in our daily grind – many of these revolve around food. We may also feel stress that in turn causes us to eat, to have emotional reactions. Many people report feeling in more control while doing The Master Cleanse – alongside a sense of clarity. Do commercials about food drive you crazy? Are you more patient than ever?

Lemonade Day 4 – Thought I would update. The cleanse has been going really well! I’ve had more energy than I’ve had in years. I walk 45 min every morning after my SWF, then a glass of lemonade, once my 9 mo old is taking his first nap. It sets the tone for the rest of my day and when I find that I struggle most is when my husband is home and his positive support really helps. The only times I feel bad are when the laxatives kick in but I know that it’s helping the detox process. As for feeling hungry, I do get hunger pangs but not any real cravings. And the hunger pangs are really far and few and don’t last long. I was so nervous about having no energy and I’m so surprised that the absolute opposite has happened. Anyways I’ll update again later.

Failure after Day 1 on the lemonade drink
I woke up not feeling very well, choked back the first drink and then consciously made drinks every two hours (whether I was hungry or not) and made them fresh. I started to feel better through the day and thought I got off easy. I didn’t have any headaches and I had some great energy. I got my older son’s support with dinner preparation to help me out with any food cravings I might have. I thought I had it all figured out. I was about to make another drink around 8pm but my stomach was upset so I made some peppermint tea (organic of course). I barely finished the tea and became violently ill. It was awful. It has been many years since I prayed to God to help me but last night I was praying to whoever would listen.
I don’t understand what went wrong. I feel really sad. Is my body so full of toxins that it made me physically ill? I did my research on how to make the drinks properly. I eased in as this was my first attempt. I had all the right ingredients from the local health food store. I had a mentor to go to in times of need. I talked to my doctor. I was on holidays so I didn’t have to deal with all the work social lunch business that I really enjoy. I just don’t know what I did wrong :(
Well, now that I’ve had this experience, I will try to figure out how to be a better success in the future.

Lemonade Diet Day 1
Today is day 1, and I am already having cravings. I don’t mind the lemonaid, it tastes pretty good, except the pepper makes my throat tickle. I am aiming for 10 days, but trying to take things one day at a time. I drank laxative tea last night and woke up around 5 am and was on the toilet for over an hour. I feel empty and hungry, but am filling up with lemonaid! Tomorrow morning I will try my first SWF…I am nervous for that! Wish me luck!

Day 1
I woke up early this morning (thanks to Stella the cat) and my stomach was feeling terrible. So I emptied the contents of my stomach, laid back down on the couch with a cool cloth on my forehead. I have a feeling this is going to be a long week.
I drifted back to sleep (in and out) and finally just got up to choke back my first lemonade drink. I hope this gets easier.
As I had emptied the contents of my stomach earlier this morning, I was too chicken to try the SWF. I will have some mint tea and hope that settles my tummy down.
I keep reminding myself how good this will be for me and it’s only temporary. I’m grateful I’m on holidays and not having to work with clients in this state – however, that might get me out of my head a bit.
Anyways, day 1 started!!

Ease in Day 4?
Is it possible that I’m already starting to detox? Today has not been a good one so far, I’m shaky, my muscles ache, I expelled what little was in my stomach. My head is super foggy. I feel like I have the flu. ugh. Please send strength!!
Namaste

Michelle,
I read your post and it seems like you might have the flu. I have done the lemonade diet once a year for 5 years and have never had any of those symptoms.
I hope you feel better soon, and maybe think about trying again a better time.

Ease In Day 3 – Feel a little silly already posting. It’s the night before I begin my first master cleanse and I’ve been mentally preparing myself as best as I can think to do. I have the full support of my husband, which I know is really going to help me. The ease in period has gone well, I can tell that my stomach has shrunk a lot through it and I’m really glad I started this way. I’ve been reading a lot about what to expect on this journey and am going to take it day by day. My goal is to make it 10 days and see how I feel from there. I wish I could just shake this nervous feeling!
