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.
Post your experiences on the support you get from family and friends here; and on other topics below.
If you are not participating, you can still follow the posts – either for inspiration to try the cleanse or to answer the most basic question: Is The Master Cleanse right for me?
Keep it simple; just use your own language to describe 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 what we are aiming for, after all: a strong support network via a group experience.
We have probably all experienced the “What’s wrong with you?” look when telling friends or family that we are trying the Master Cleanse. And equally, most of us have at least one person in our life who supports us. The Lemonade Diet is difficult, and (dis)approval by our peers can make all the difference.
In fact, that is why I started this Master Cleanse Group Experience diary; we can support each other.
Let us know about the people and experiences you have each and every day. Who made fun of you? Who showed compassion? Who understood the cleansing, and who thought you were nuts?

Ease Out Day 3 – Have had some great support from my husband now hes home. He made all the food on day 3 because of my accidents with both hands and hasn’t tried to move me off the diet and is joining in himself. He says he could do with losing his love handles (which I cant even see by the way) and will eat whatever I eat or want to eat. We were almost tempted by a cheese cake in the supermarket when shopping for fruit and veg and realised that the way to avoid buying anything like that is to avoid temptation by knowing the store well enough to not go down the isles where the temptation lies. We also didn’t go shopping until we had eaten because both of us are dreadful if shopping when hungry. Im kinda sad that this is my last post for this cleanse as ive really really enjoyed writing them. Good luck to everyone who is just starting or part of the way through. Its worth every second to get to the end – the great feeling you have about yourself for succeeding is immeasurable. Its 2 weeks out of your life but the benefit it can add to it far outweighs the time scale.

Ease Out Day 2 – Really enjoyed our food today. I had a lemonade for breakfast and hubby had his lemon juice and water lovingly squeezed by me and my electric juicer which he was really impressed with. Then we have had soup for early lunch, tea and supper with a couple of crackers which Stanley Burroughs says is ok in his book. We both feel really really good about what we are putting into our bodies and he has come home after 3 weeks away having lost his little love handles from just eating sensibly because he wanted to look good for his new fit and healthy wife. Ahhh! Don’t know how he managed because most of what I remember for the last 10 days at least is that every time he rang me he had food in his mouth.

Ease Out Day 1 – husband is home today and im one happy girl :-D I know smiley faces are a bit naff but it expresses how I feel very well. He wanted some of my Orange Juice – he stood there almost drooling while I drank a glass so I sqeezed 2 oranges for him. He has started having the juice of a lemon in water each morning instead of a cup of tea and says it really wakes him up. I think im going to have a Lemonade for breakfast each morning and do what Stanely Burroughs suggests which is not eating til noon then just fruit and then having a meal at dinner time. Basically this is how I ate before but a cup of herbal tea (Havent drunk tea or coffee since I was 15) for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack then the first food I would have would be a proper meal at around 6 or 7pm then a snack of cerial or toast at around 10 coz I cant sleep if im hungry (although that’s now not actually true because I slept better than I have for years for at least 5 out of the 10 days I was doing the MC).

Lemonade Diet Day 10 – Awesome is not a word im prone to use but I cant think of a better one to describe how I feel about losing ANOTHER 2lbs!!!!! Its awesome and very unexpected. So now after 10 days im have lost a total of 7lbs that’s half a stone! I can really see it. I worked out why my face felt bumpy when it was looking so radiant the day before. I did something daft when I was very tired. When I started the Master Cleanse I decided that I wouldn’t be using any chemicals on my skin either. I only use a crystal stone as deorant (and if you have never tried one I highly recommend you get one) but I do like scented skin moisturisers that match my perfume and I use cleansers and moisturisers on my face too. I have used nothing for 8 days then stupidly put moisturiser on my face and I think I had a bit of an allergic reaction to it. Its fine again today so im also amazed at how fast spots and blemishes etc clear up whilst on the Master Cleanse.

Lemonade Diet Day 9. Well Day 9 and I didn’t think id be here on Day 2 or 3. Day 7 was a bit tough too but im glad I didn’t give in. It may have been easier being in the house on my own and not having to smell other peoples food all the time or see them eating (apart from when my daughter was here but that seemed ok and as I said I even cooked her a meal). My husband is coming home tomorrow so I have decided that I wont go on because part of what we like to do is cook together and share a meal and as I haven’t seen him for 3 weeks its part of our rebonding process. Hes really up for eating loads of raw foods and he even likes brown rice and steamed veg so that’s really handy. It would have been nice to have seen a few more people diarising (is that a word) on here and i now seem to be the only person left putting up the diary every day which is a shame as i loved reading what other people were doing and how they were feeling – it really helped me.

Lemonade Day 9 -
Hi Sally,
Well, I’m proud of you and have enjoyed your posts. I was exhausted last night and didn’t want to get on the computer. I feel emotional tonight. Feeling kind of alone here going into my triumph…even though my 3 closest friends have been supportive..I just haven’t seen them much and they aren’t going through it too, so going off to lunches and dinners with other friends and family is understandable.
I was tempted to stop the cleanse too a day early, because of my housemate throwing a barbecue party on Saturday, but I just couldn’t. It felt too much like a “give up” at the final hour and I definitely do not want to hurt my body in any way. My fear of undoing the good seems to rule my choices (not that you would hurt yours) but I really just have to see this through. It’s a purification for me.
My plan is to finish tomorrow, do the OJ (which I did buy organic flash pasteurized because the oranges looked so awful), smoothies and veggie soup. It’s hard though right now, as I truly am feeling hungry. Best wishes, Sally (and ALL). :-)

Lemonade Diet Day 8 – haven’t had much support from family as I am back on my own again as my daughter went back to college this morning but I have had 2 friends on facebook ask me for details of what I was doing so I have emailed them a copy of the Original Master Cleanse document along with the URL of this website and I have a strong feeling that both of them will be doing it pretty soon. All ive been putting up is something like Day 7 of the Master Cleanse and im pretty chuffed with myself or Day 8 – woo hoo! Loads of interest and support – funnily enough most of it in private messages so I guess they don’t want their friends to think they are as weird as me?

Lemonade Diet Day 7 – my daughter is still home from college and I cooked her a meal today to surprise her as she was having a lie in. It smelt amazing and I wasn’t tempted at all. I just thought I must make myself some of this when my cleanse is over. It even crossed my mind that I might keep doing it longer if my husband is delayed from coming home when he was planning to on Wednesday. She was lovely and asked if it was ok for her to eat it in front of me and was amazed that I said I was fine as yesterday when she was eating some sweets I had to ask her to eat them away from me. I wouldn’t have had it but didn’t want to be put in a position that I had to have a fight with myself not to. Hubby is still talking about food accidentally every time we speak – bless him!

Lemonade Diet Day 6
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, “you are your biggest supporter”, and it is very true for me. No matter what people say, what negative comments they might make, I’ll let it slide without being affected, beacause I KNOW! And I don’t think people are making those derogatory comments beacuse they’re bad, they just don’t know, dont’t have enough information. Like today at work a customer overheard my conversation with a colleague and pitched in, I thought she was interested in the cleanse but then she proceeded to tell me that it’s not healthy, we’re designed to eat bla bla bla…
