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.

Ease Out Day 1: Weighed myself in the morning as usual and found I was up .8 pounds, confirming my salt water flush theory of holding weight because of it. This did not bother me. I felt great today in how I looked and felt and how my clothes are starting to feel. I’m still a few pounds heavier than where I would like to be, but my focus is not on that right now. My focus is on eating, and I cannot wait until I can! I continue to notice how great my skin has been looking and feeling, which I love! I also noticed that a cluster of broken capillaries (spider veins) that I’ve had on the side of my thigh were much more faint and almost not noticeable. This was fantastic seeing this! If I had noticed that before today I would have probably continued on the cleanse to see if I could have gotten rid of them all together. Next time I will! I love how my body has been responding to everything in so many positive ways!
The Master Cleanse Day 10: I woke up and weighed myself and was really happy to see that I was down 1.4 pounds from yesterday, for a total of 8.4 pounds. After skipping the salt water flush a few times, I noticed that I definitely see a difference on the scale following the day after I don’t do it. I’m really beginning to understand the effects of salts on the body and can only imagine what food loaded with msg and salts are doing to us on a daily basis. Some people crave salty foods and right now I’m glad I’m not one of them (having a sweet tooth I bet is even worse). Now that I have the himalayan salt and realize it’s a much better salt for you, I plan on replacing it with any kind of salt used at home. I look forward to using it next time I make kale chips, cannot wait for that! I also wanted to mention how great my skin looks and feels, so soft and smooth! My husband said something to me tonight about how much my skin had a glow! It was such a nice confirmation to how I was already feeling, thank you so much!
The Master Cleanse Day 10: I was happy to see I was down 1.4 pounds from yesterday, where I hadn’t done the salt water flush. After not doing the salt water flush a few times, I definitely see a difference on the scale following the days I skipped doing it. It makes me realize what salt in general can do to your body and your weight. I’m happy to now have tried the himalayan salt due to the flush and I plan on replacing it with any salt needed for cooking. I have been really loving how my skin looks and feels from the cleanse and was thankful for no break outs. My husband actually commented on how nice my skin looked today, that made me feel good and it confirmed what I was noticing as well. The next three days are going to be great and I look forward to continuing weighing myself and seeing progress and also just feeling great all around.
Still resisting the temptation to step on the scale. Will do again on day 1 of the ease out. My size 18 jeans though were falling down my waist so this is a good sign. I’ve been watching all these programs about food and whole grain plant based diets. I watched Forks Over Knives, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2 and a couple others. Every time they show the “bad” food like hamburgers and fried chicken I’m like omg I want that! But when I envision myself eating after this cleanse I envision salads and vegan soups and recipes I want to try. I still have to get through a 10 day juice fast after this. Online I found there is a vegan restaurant and juice bar less than 30minutes from me. On ease out day 2 I’m going to visit there. I’m excited to find this place and some vegan support.
The Master Cleanse Day 9: I weighed myself first thing this morning and was exactly the same weight as yesterday. I am pleased with this and not seeing the number go up. My stomach looks much flatter and my skin feels really soft. My face I feel has a certain glow to it and I also feel that any dark circles under my eyes are now gone. This has been something that has been bothering me for the past year or two and I truly feel that the master cleanse has erased some if not most of that appearance. This made my day today realizing and truly seeing the results in my skin as well as easing my self criticism in this department. This to me is far more important that what the scale says, I’m thrilled to see these kind of results. On the other hand, I found myself somewhat irritable today and ready to eat food. I’d have to say this was one of the hardest days without eating and fighting cravings. I’m also not craving things I would have totally guessed I would. Chocolate and cheese have not been something I’ve given any thought to, not even pizza! There’s been only one thing on my mind and that’s a big roast beef sub with all the fixings, which I haven’t had in probably two years! So weird!
I am in the middle of Day 2 of the MC. It should have been Day 3, but I totally caved the first night, so I had to start over. I don’t like the drinks and don’t feel particularly full or re-energized when I have them, so I just keep putting them off and it’s 2:30pm and I haven’t had one yet. Very bad! My goal is to begin drinking a minimum of 4 each day and working my way up to 6. Physically, I feel hungry, tired, I have headaches, and generally just energy-less. My mouth tastes like yuck and I would kill for a burger. However, I’m down 2 pounds! I’m not doing the saltwater flush, but I’m considering it. Can it really be that bad? Probably.
The Master Cleanse Day 8: The very first thing I did today was weigh myself, and was excited to do so since I did not weigh myself yesterday. To my satisfaction I was down 2.6 pounds from the other day, for a total of exactly 7 pounds in 8 days. Since I didn’t do the salt water flush I really do feel while doing the cleanse some weight will stay on because of the salt, so hang in there if you see no weight changes at the moment. I did the salt water flush today and will be curious to see what the scale says tomorrow. I found I had more energy today than yesterday and partly because I drank more today, it’s key. I did find myself hungry today and longing for a hot meal of pretty much anything. My cravings are feeling worse and asking people what the had for lunch and dinner pretty much says it all. I want to smell and look at everything!
The Master Cleanse Day 7: I did not weigh myself today as my morning routine was thrown off by the vet appointment we had, and I would only weigh myself in the morning for whatever reason. It felt good to not weigh myself and go by how I feel, which is great. I see my stomach getting flatter and my hips feeling a bit tighter. I have noticed that one side of my mouth on the top feels sensitive when I brush my teeth. I had my cleaning about four months ago and there wasn’t any issues then so I don’t know if the cleanse has anything to do with it. I also get carpel tunnel symptoms frequently and I have yet to notice any signs since I have started my cleanse. Today I am feeling the most tired I have felt all week! Looking forward to getting back to work as my routine is perfected there.
MC Day 2: just discovered this forum today otherwise I would’ve posted then. Down 4 lbs alread, and the headache is gone. Demonstrated great will power today no cheats.
The Master Cleanse Day 6: Today’s schedule felt thrown off from the regiment of the past five days. I didn’t weigh myself, I had actually forgotten to. I didn’t feel any different than yesterday. I noticed my skin looking really good and almost glowing, that made me happy. I dont normally have issues with my skin but something looked different than usual for me. My skin also felt really soft and hydrated. I have been using a body brush before the shower everyday and I found this must be helping as I see lots of dead skin cells falling off everywhere. I Highly recommend everyone use a body brush, it works really well at getting your body ready and prepared to detox as well as getting your circulation going!
