Group Cleanse Support Topic: Psychological and Emotional Effects (My Experience)
This page is a Support Topic Page for The Psychological and Emotional Effects for our Master Cleanse Group Cleanse. Please check that page for details on our Quarterly Cleanses and our Individual Cleanses.
To learn more about the value of Group Cleansing, check out this report.
The Group Cleanse will not only give us the forum to support each other, doing The Master Cleanse together, but it also enables us to track our experiences by setting standards to the conversation. If we all just posted random thoughts we would get a lot less value from the comments. But if the comments are structured, and relevant by time and topic, we can gain even more insight, more quickly and more effectively. Therefore we ask participants to start and finish the Master Cleanse on the same dates.
This page is the place for participants in the The Master Cleanse Group Experience to post their daily entries. To post, simply leave a comment. You don’t have to be logged in to post. Please provide 100 words each day – don’t worry; that’s not that much. The paragraph below, for example, is 100 words.
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?
If you are not participating, you can follow the post to get inspiration to try the cleanse or answer the most basic question: Is The Master Cleanse right for me?
Keep it simple, just talk in your own language about your daily experience. The more you are yourself, the more others will connect with you – and the more you can connect with what they are saying – which is what we want after all, a strong support network through a group experience.
If you haven’t yet, go ahead and register for the Group Cleanse to get our “Guided Cleanse Experience” email sequence timed to correspond with your registration and the important days as the come up during our scheduled group cleanses.

I feel like I did on Day 1 today. Lots of uncertainly about going the distance. I know it is only three more days but feels like eternity…. One foot in front of the other
I feel the exact same way! How you felt yesterday is how I am feeling today.
Skied today and felt great! Now I’d defiantly hitting the wall. I feel tired of the lemonade and thinking about food. The smells of the food coming from the kitchen as my family is preparing there dinner is driving me crazy. Its good that I can only have liquid so I’m not about to slip and take a bit. I can only imagine how great it will be to eat again.
Day 7 Feeling much thinner now, very encouraged to go the distance. Got thru the social challenge of the last two nights. Looking and smelling beautiful food at several different outings but staying tough.
Reaching the halfway point here on day 5. Feeling super energized now as soon as I wake up and pain free with movement, unbelievable! I sure don’t miss the bloating from always digesting food. This is the way a body should feel, the master cleanse is amazing
So glad I’m hangin in…. not easy…. Having to deliberately distract my self with activity. Any one else out there? Evenings are tough, that is when I’m getting the biggest cravings. I had a cup of bullion it helped a lot.
I crashed this afternoon and had to lay down, also a strong headache came on me. Feeling kinda panic-y knowing that I can’t eat. Drinking lots of lemonade and calming tea, hoping this will pass
It’s hard to sleep well, all smells are very strong to me, my husband reeks, I can hardly stand it.
A metal taste in my mouth, my eyes feel a little blurry Can’t wait to go to bed
Wow Susan! I really hope all is better now!
I don’t know about anyone else but today I have really felt 2nd gear kicking in. I’m on the move with lots of energy. Feeling like tackling all the spring jobs
Hello fellow cleansers! So glad to know I’m not alone here…Getting started is always a challenge, I feel I have to morn the loss of food. but plugging along finishing day 3. I’m always worried that I’ll just forget I’m fasting and eat something by mistake just out of habit. Does that sound weird or what? I did my work shift at the food coop today, it was hard to be around all the food, I so wanted to have soup… Looking forward to bed and not having to think about it
Hey Corrie I am sorry you feel that way that’s how I felt when I started today id my 8th day and the first 3 days you are going to feel angry hungry moody and its the process the body is taking to clean hang in there I am available to chat back and forth be positive I was no angry the first couple of days and to top it off I got sick fever chills cough stuffy nose please do not quit all those symptoms are normal you have all my support ..hugs
I’ve tried to have a sampling of all the things that I believe I will desperately be craving before I start the diet, this way I won’t feel robbed. Eating is a real emotional thing… I like this cleanse because it teaches you to break the cycle and to start feeling fantastic almost immediatly
Day 1 Lemonade: I’m feeling resolved to do this. I’m not exactly pumped up. In fact, I’m tired and annoyed with everything- the kids, the food in the house, the wet dog prints all over the floor. Is there a real forum somewhere on here that I am missing, or are these comment sections all there is? If so, it’s kind of crummy. I want to be able to go back and forth with people (assuming I am not the only one starting the group cleanse today), and this format is lousy for that. So… that’s how I am feeling right now..
