Group Cleanse Support Topic: Weight Loss and Physical Results

This page is a Support Topic Page for Weight Loss and Physical Results for our Master Cleanse Group Cleanse. Please check that page for details on our Quarterly Cleanses and our Individual Cleanses.

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.

Weight Loss – Even though The Lemonade Diet is about so much more that weight loss, it is still an effective reduction diet. Weigh yourself each day. How much weight did you lose today? Are you happy or disappointing with the results? What were your expectations? Some people loose weight the day they start The Lemonade Diet. Some people don’t lose weight until well into the diet. Describe your daily experiences.

Physical – Talk about the way your body is reacting to the cleanse. Do you feel full of energy? Do you feel like you have a cold? Headaches on Day 2 but feeling great on day 8? Think about it, how do you feel today? Just pretend you are talking to your best friend and complaining about the hard parts and raving about the good.

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.

    Lemonade Diet DAY 9 (Newbie) – I read where the SWF helps with the weight loss and I missed quite a few days doing the SWF. I probably could have lost more weight however I am pleased with the weight I did loose. I would love to see what my body (inside and out) looks like after a 40 day master cleanse. I love the way my skin on my face looks. And my neck looks very nice. More defined. My scalp still has acne or sores but that is also from me not being to stop picking at them so they don’t heal. I felt pretty good today. When I go out I wear Spanx and they certainly been going on a lot easier.

    LEMONADE DIET – DAY 9 – NEWBIE ->

    Today I took my 30 minute aerobic walk at the horse ranch where my son rides every week… my son has been a rider for 12yrs now.. the ranch is in the foothills of the mountains, so I enjoyed the most gorgeous warm sun shiny day with just a hint of cool breeze… snow is coming tomorrow.. so I am grateful to have enjoyed the day… one of my daily affirmations is that I walk 30minutes, 3 times a week… today was the busiest day with appointments and commitments.. it was my day off, but it was busier than a work day…

    Today I wore a green shirt I have had for over a year… this shirt would never pull down past my waist, or I would have ripped the threads… today this cotton top just pulled down very nicely over my hips… even last week I could not pull this shirt down past my waist… thank you Master Cleanse that I am losing inches, as well as pounds!

    Lemonade Diet DAY 8 (Newbie) – I am now down 6.8 lbs. but I feel like I have lost more weight than that. I feel smaller. Maybe just lighter. My face and neck look great. My scalp is still feeling sore and bumpy. My stomach looks flatter. My tongue is very sensitive especially as I’m drinking my hot tea. Remember I haven’t worked out this entire time…just a choice I made on my own. I have been working on more of habit changing, psychological change and my outlook on food.

    LEMONADE DIET – DAY 8 – NEWBIE ->

    1/3 mucus, 1/3 fat, 1/3 buried skinny runner…. lol!… I woke up this morning, still dealing with tons of mucus… from my eyes, from my nose, from my mouth, and constantly wanting to spit

    If I took my current weight and divided it by THREE (3)… I would see that mucus has to be a 1/3 cuz I’m draining and releasing so much of it every day (oh, thank you cayenne pepper!)… and there is the 1/3 fat that needs to go, and be gone forever, cuz it no longer serves me, and then there is the REAL ME… all buried below… the me that was born a natural tom-boy-athletic-type, the real me who climbs trees, rides bikes, plays racquetball, swims, DANCES, jogs, runs …. the real me who is very flexible yoga princess… the real me who just keeps moving like an energizer-bunny.. the real me with modest muscle lines … the real me with a dream to run the Boston Marathon by age 50.. I don’t want to win the Boston… I just want to qualify and be there! … the real me who wants to help seniors and overweight woman reclaim their bodies, reclaim their energy, reclaim their health

    so thank you Master Cleanse to help me release the 1/3 mucus, the 1/3 fat…. so I can get back to being 100% full-and-whole-skinny-strong-spectacular-athlete!!!!

    Lemonade Diet DAY 7 (Newbie) – I weighed myself this AM and am down another 1.2 lbs. That makes 6 lbs. down. I am pleased. My clothes feel looser but I need to hit the gym after the 10 days for sure…my arms and thighs feel flabby. My tongue seems sensitive, like when you suck on lemons too long. I have wondered what all this lemon juice is doing for the enamel on our teeth so started the MC by drinking through a straw, then got too lazy for the straw the hungrier I grew as I begin to gulp the lemonade down. I try to rinse afterwards with water, but as you all know, my water drinking has been limited. My scalp is still ‘raw’? I hasn’t healed. But my face and ears look good.

    Morning thoughts before work:
    feet heavy in am, frontal headache when wake up, but went away went drank warm lemon water 1st thing in the morning, then I felt better almost immediatly
    Evening thoughts:
    It’s an awful feeling, but I feel that I am not lovable because of my weight… whatever is going on with my body is triggering many layers of emotions… maybe its just because I’m an emotional person

    For the past year I was thinking the higher level executive does not like me because I’m overweight. I’ve noticed different treatment she has to us plus-size girls compared to skinny girls… so my raise announced today is a shock… because she had to approve the raise that was presented to me today… 20yrs ago I was working for a large corporation and the CFO admitted in a team meeting that she thinks fat people are lazy… but that meeting went on to reveal that the two largest women (me and Norma) were the hardest working on the team… as I said.. along going on with me…

    Day 7 lemonade diet

    Can you believe after 6 days of not eating that my elimination this am would be solid and perfectly formed shape, just like my intestines including the pockets hanging off of it. Sorry for the detail but It makes me realize the importance of going the 10 days

    Feeling anxious tonight, and I will really appreciate my meals when this process is over
    I’m craving potatoes? comfort food? I’m make a list of the things that I’m going to eat when it’s time…..

    My body is feeling super skinny and sexy, It is the motivation I need to make it the last 3 days, Mentally, I’m feeling weak tonight, Have to just go to bed and ignore the mind battles

    My teeth also feel cleaner but my tongue feels coated? I’m brushing a lot Skin and teeth

      Way to go Susan! Your self reflection about your body’s feelings is motivating me! Who doesn’t want to feel sexy right? Stay in there.

    Day 8 for me. So far I have lost 8 lbs. My stomach and thighs have gone down. My head and body are clear of mucus, which is the main reason for doing this cleanse. I feel good. But I am getting tired of drinking the lemonade. Help please friends.

      You’re almost there. Don’t give up now. You can already see good results and more to follow if you see it through to the end. I’m going through the same as you with the thought that that 8 days should be enough BUT I’m determined to finish the 10 days. As a newbie MC it’s important to finish the cleanse the right way. Good luck

      Hang in there, Kendra! It has been hard for me, too. Hopefully today will be easier as the work week has started. If you are getting tired of the lemonade try drinking more herb tea. It’s a nice change for me. Or maybe trying the lemonade with less maple syrup? (I crave savory food, not sweet so the sweetness from the lemonade can be unsatisfying). I find thinking about the “ease-off” period coming up in a few days helps. I’m looking for good soup recipes for “ease-off day 2” and that makes me happy:) Good luck!!

    Day 5 – Lemonade Diet

    Just wondering if this is another side effect of the cleanse, I felt sensitivity in my teeth this morning while brushing my teeth. Is this normal? Should I be concerned that my body is experiencing a deficiency?

    Reply

      Hi Alisa,
      I talked to my dentist the day I started this and she recommended that I rinse my mouth out with water after drinking the lemonade. She felt the acid from the lemons and drinking it for several days might effect the teeth & gums, causing them sensitivity. This would also help protect the teeth’s enamel. I remember my teeth being sensitive the first few times I did this. I wouldn’t worry about deficiency, but maybe brushing or rinsing your mouth after might help.

        Thank you for the information from your dentist Julia. This question was weighing on my mind as well, especially since I already have problems with my enamel depleting prematurely from eating lemons (like apples) when I was younger.

        Day 7 – Lemonade Diet

        Thank you Julia,

        I was just talking to someone else that completed that cleanse a few weeks ago and she suggested getting mouth wash to use at work. I have also been washing out my mouth after I drink the lemonade. I am grateful for everyone in the group this has been the best decision I could have made for myself to kick start my 2014. I told myself this year I would focus on myself and making sure to pursue my dreams that I have been putting on the back burner to help someone else pursue their dreams.
