Lemonade Diet – Day 4 – Healing Events
Share

Posted on 19. Apr, 2009 by Mike in My Experience, The Master Cleanse

Day 4 may bring a clearing on several fronts. Often, you begin to get over the physical symptoms of what people call “Healing Events” (although they are reported to come throughout the cleanse, at any time). You may also get over the psychological need for food (although you do often feel a little tweak of “want”, not of “need”). The psychological “need” for food isn’t always a centered thought. We think we need the worst kinds of foods. We are socially conditioned to think “I need meat”, or “Three squares per day”. These ideas are artifacts from old concepts we can now disprove to some degree or another.

Perhaps the greatest benefit from the Master Cleanse is the new-found recognition that you don’t have to stuff yourself. Or that a big, beautiful piece of broccoli can sustain like a nice breast of chicken. The social adaptation we have made to meat can be replaced with a new norm, a new paradigm.

Healing Events are the sniffles, rashes, coughs and other symptoms mostly experienced around day 3 or day 4, but which can occur at any time throughout the Lemonade diet. These events are thought to be the removal of toxins that may have caused sickness on the way in. They say “sick in, sick out,” after all. If you pick up a bug, your body isolates it and tries to expel it through a variety of ways (mucous, coughs, sneezes, fevers, rashes, zits and more). The same is true when the toxin is leaving, so you get the symptom. That is the prevailing notion on healing events encountered during the Lemonade Diet.

I’ve attempted the Master Cleanse at least two or three times before this, and failed.
This time I’m doing much better, and I’ve made it to day four! Yesterday was the worse day for me and my food cravings, but I still stuck to the lemonade concentrate and water. That was my problem then, my issue now is that I’m getting a bit sick of the lemonade.
Is there anything other than lemons or limes that I can substitute in the concentrate for at least one day?

Morning of Day 4:

I actually am surprised how good I feel, I never thought I would have the strength to do something like this.

I haven’t had that hard of a time either. The first night was the hardest- when I felt so nauseous from hunger I thought I was going to throw up. I felt hunger pangs now and then throughout the last three days but nothing that bad. I haven’t had flu-like symptoms, although I do have a stuffy nose, I think it’s from allergies and not from the flush. Also, I could only sleep two hours last night– I haven’t heard of insomnia being a symptom yet.

I’ve lost four lbs so far. I have only been using laxatives at night- I don’t think I could get through the SWF. I’ve also continued smoking cigarettes during it– perhaps my next time around will be an opportunity to quit.

The most amazing thing to me is how psychologically addicted I am to food. I wasn’t actually hungry, but all I could do is obsess about all sorts of different foods. I am a recovering drug addict, and it is crazy to me how much this is like getting sober. three years ago I have food dreams exactly like the using dreams I sometimes have, I obsess about food without really needing it, and the justifications I see my mind veering towards are exactly the same as when I’m thinking about relapsing. This has been an amazing learning experience for me about my inner strength and resilience, and about how my mind thinks about food.

I am so grateful for this cleanse!

Hi, I’m psyching myself up to begin the Master Cleanse – my first – next week as part of a self improvement project that will include a 10 Day Vipassana Meditation course after I complete the cleanse. Reading others’ comments has been helpful, for example I now know I can keep on doing yoga, and have an idea of what stumbling blocks I’m likely to encounter. I’m excited and plan to keep posting as a way of maintaining my motivation and completing the MC. My goal is a 10 day cleanse with a 3 day ease in and a day or so to recover, starting August 15. Wish me luck!!

Made it most of the way through day 4 so far. I can’t believe I made it this far. No shakes, energy good, no side effects so far. I did had quite the headache o n day 2 and the morning of day 3. This is definitely a one day at a time thing, The SWF was horrible last night. Pretty much lasted all night. Didn’t take laxatives last night because I knew I’d have to leave early this morning. I am having a hard time not eating my family’s wonderful food. Not because I’m dying of hunger, but because it looks SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!. Hopefully day 5 will bring renewed determination because I can tell myself I’m halfway.

Lemonade diet day 4
Morning of day 4. Yesterday was pretty hard all i kept craving was regular food. Mexican food at that! haha. I made it throught though, and my headache wasn’t as bad as day 2. I feel good today, however i haven’t really been losing that much weight. Only about 3 lbs. I’ve only been doing the SWF in the evenings and haven’t been doing the tea or anything. Should I take the tea instead of the SWF? in the morning and at night?? let me know what you think! thanks! good luck to everyone!!

Midway through Day 4! Yesterday was a real struggle for me, but today I’m feeling wonderful! To help with the urges, cravings and “hunger” pains last night I gorged myself on 2 wonderful documentaries. One is called “Food Inc.” and the other “The Beautiful Truth.” These films helped to remind me of all of the reasons for doing the cleanse and ultimately transitioning to a Raw Food diet. Anyone who is struggling with this cleanse should really watch these films and I promise you will begin to feel so much better about it!.

Day 4 of the cleanse..
Wow, surprisingly my energy has been quite steady so far! (this coming from a pre-diabetic). I really was tentative about doing this because of the “sugar” content and Lack of readily available fats and proteins. But I really feel great!

I’ve done everything as prescribed except for the SWB.. I’ve always had a hard time with salt water, and I barely managed it the first two mornings, however, on the second morning there were hardly any results. I actually had more results from drinking the Senna Tea and plenty of water. So I’ve decided to switch to just the tea from here on out, as I’ve been have 2-3 BM’s with that.

Anyway, yesterday was the worst with all the mucous and sneezing, but surprisingly no headaches yet! I guess everyone is a little different.

On to tomorrow!!!
