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.

Day 3. Guys. It is soooo cool!!! I feel amazing. I have some Flu symptoms. However I DON’T THINK ABOUT FOOD AT ALL!! Even yesterday I watched a couple of 10000 calorie challenges and nothing. No food cravings, No hunger! I love it. I use honey instead of maple syrup as we don’t have it here. We have some but it is nor organic and TOO expensive. However honey works more than OK.
I’m feeling better today, some new maple syrup arrived the darker richer one and I think it’s making my tummy feel less grumbly, my head feels nice and clear and physically apart from my tummy clog I feel ok. I didn’t really exercise today but tomorrow after the SWF I will do some yoga, I normally cycle quite a bit but I decided to take things easier this week while I’m settling in to the master cleanse. I have to admit while working and I sew for a living I started craving things that I don’t normally eat like sausages and a nice lamb roast.
I’m really hoping to get this stomach clear, I feel there’s a lot of emotion stuff buried down deep. I’m looking forward to getting it out.
I just started the cleanse today! I was a little nervous at first but it was not bad. I was surprised the juice suppressed my appetite and was not as hungry as I thought. I do wish I had been more mentally ready by meditating or praying. This always helps me to focus and ponder my reasons to go through with an action that I think may be tough for me. I was ready with required ingredients but was not fully mentally ready. I just came off an elk hunt and have been physically drained. However, I was ready to begin the lemonade diet and look forward to results.Off to a great start!
Day 1 I didn’t do the ease in, partly because I wasn’t prepared and because I didn’t sign up in time, but I am ready for the master cleanse. My body has been crying out to me for a long time, my digestion really sluggish even though I have long since quit a lot of things, and slowly I’ve come to the realisation that I need to do a proper cleanse. I tried a colonic but was told that it would take many sessions to clear and the availableability was monthly and not to mention costly, then I heard about the SWF and tried this 2 or 3 times but couldn’t find information about after care until I found the master cleanse and there was only 2 days to go so here I am, Ihad a laxative tea last night before bed and a SWF this morning as I felt really sludgy. My lemonade is ready and …..
I started this cleanse a few months ago with a friend – not really knowing what I was doing but knowing that my body was not healthy. My friend, who is a beautiful example completed the 10 days. I only completed 5. I am back, after about 3 weeks because I feel my body suffering. The first time I did this cleanse I was amazed at how much I am emotionally eating… I did not ease off the cleanse like I should have and I think I may have jumped the gun too quickly. I am back to emotional eating and I’m tired of it. I want to make lifestyle changes and I think this would be a great way to start. I have purchased the Master Cleanse booklet and want to start again. Today was day 1 and it was tough. I crave things I do not normally crave and I feel sad when I say no to myself.
Approaching the end of DAY 3. I’m starting to feel a bit clear headed, it’s still somewhat hazy, but I’m sure as I propel myself forward, it will improve. While I was doing my bikram yoga earlier, I learned something new about myself. As I was laying down on the floor while the class around me was engaging in the next posture– I noticed that the mind is a powerful thing. When trained with discipline, you can accomplish what you set out to do.
So I’m laying on the floor in this heated environment of 105 degrees, and I felt a constant urge to move to make myself comfortable, only I didn’t. The heat that I feel in the room… I visualize it as stress. You stay calm and breathe through it. I had to make up in my mind, that by not moving, I’m in control. It made me realize, when you put your mind to it, you can make it happen. Doesn’t matter the type of environment.
GM, Day 6, singing right along, I’ve spent time meditating every day since and leading to the start….everything is smooth and easy and I spend plenty of time in gratitude. Exercise has been easy also, basic stuff, 20 pushups during the day, walks when I can, bike rides when I can, I’m also working 50+hrs a week and my stress at work which sucks, has been much improved since starting the cleanse.
I’m not sure I’m ready to transition back to food just yet…so I’ll just see how it keeps going.
Day 8 is just beginning. I feel very calm and happy, almost like I am an observer instead of involved in any drama. NICE. I know it is this fast.
Day 7. I Thought today was suppose to be a “bad ” detox day. It has turned out to be lovely. I have a quiet kind of peace.
So here I am at the end of day 4. Emotionally I’m all over the map but mostly impatient and irritable. It doesn’t help that I’m having to make meals for the family 3 times a day. I should just lock myself in a room for the next 6 days.
