Day 1 ease out
AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO IN LOVE WITH ORANGE JUICE!
Ok so here I am, nearly to the finish line and feeling really accomplished for it. It has been a long week for me and I haven’t done much, I took the time off for the cleanse which I think was a bad idea, for me because I dislike being cooped up, the ten days were a mixture of feeling cold all the time and the weather being poor most of the time which did not help.
I’ve felt rather weak the whole time but I think that is because it was cold and my body was trying to heat itself while doing all the processes it needed while on a minimal calorie intake diet.
To digress, it did a great job. My body is feeling good and clean and it has started me up on a clean slate to begin a healthier diet. Now before I began the detox I was a vegetarian, and I ate organic wholefoods and have for about a year and a half. But I hadn’t ever done a detoxification of my body from the last 22 years of build up. So I decided to give this one a try. Now that I’m finishing I’m really looking forward to incorporating more raw foods into my diet and keeping up a high level of physical fitness as well.
If there is one thing this internal adventure has taught me is the value of a hard working fit body. Of the value of movement and exercise and stretching, as well as eating foods with proper nutrition for my body to work as an optimal vessel for the wholeness to run through.
My last night of the Lemonade diet (Last night) I had an epiphany and hold it dear to my heart. This really has been much more of an emotion and mental overturn and healing than a physical process, I saw so much more than I originally thought I would, and grew much more than I thought I had.
These are my experiences from this adventure and I enjoyed it very much.
I tackled it as an internal adventure, very much like climbing a mountain. You see the top, your goal as you come up to it, from far away (making the decision to do the detox). You start refreshed and excited but while you’re climbing through the trees of the base (for me it lasted the first 4 days) you know it’s somewhere up above but cannot see the end, and it may begin to feel endless or like you can’t do it.
There are so many emotional and internal dialogues saying to turn back, warning of dangers or stating your insecurities of not being good enough set up as obstacles to muddle through as you step and climb forward.
But If you keep climbing & you break the tree line and you can see the top (stepping into clarity). You know that you are going to make it if you just keep going. Slowly making your way up, moment by moment and before you know it you’ve nearly there.
When you are nearest to the top you reach your next hard spot, the steep rocky climb (I hit this about day 8 but they mention this about day 7). Where you can stop and say you’ve reached far enough, even though you’ve only got a little further to go to reach the top. You can see the valley below and the view is great, why bother keep going? It won’t change much from here on in (the words my brain used). Or you can choose to keep going, and see what sits at the top and what the other side looks like. You climb onward, knowing you can make it.
You reach the crest and walk to the centre, you can finally let go, you made it. The view is spectacular, and like all adventures once you finally reach the top you can see where you climbed and truly love the adventure that brought you there. The gifts that you picked up and the lessons you’ve learned come home to your mind and you made it.
Let the internal and external rejoicement commence.
You enjoy that top for as long as you want, (extend your detox?) and when you’re ready it is time for the climb down. A little more precarious than the upward climb because you may want to run to reach the bottom, but a little easier because of the knowledge you have gained on your journey upward.
So here I am, on my climb down my mouth watering for the taste of tomatoes, feta and cucumbers…and I’m taking it nice and slow enjoying the sounds, smell and tastes of the downward climb. And holy hell does orange juice ever taste amazing!
That’s my best description of these events. An entire internal mountain climbing experience from a seat in my living room. It’s a challenge but a worthy one, the internal watcher seeing my minds addiction to food, and the ways it tries to work its way into being in charge. The next time I do this I think I’m going to do alot more meditation while doing it, to explore more deeply the inner roots of the food brain mechanism of my mind.
That’s about it
P.S.
My advice to anyone who takes this on is to see it as an adventure and a choice. You made the choice to do it, you can choose to stop at any time and the only one who can enforce your wants is you. That way when you brain says “Eat it quick, no one will know” you can say “I will, I am doing this for me, no one else” I found it empowering to know that I am in charge of my adventure every step of the way, and have a one up on my minds games.
ok that’s it :)
October 2, 2011 at 6:54 pm
*to fix the bottom of the advice to others: That way when you brain says “Eat it quick, no one will know” you can say “I will , I am doing this for me, no one else”
You are stating that you will know, not that you will eat it….lol
October 2, 2011 at 6:59 pm
*In the final bit of advice, You are stating to your brain that you will know…not you will eat it.
And If you do fall into one of the many pitfalls of your mind, as I did on day one and two, (a small chunk of halva and a strawberry) no self flagellation is necessary, just see it as a learning experience and see where it came from.

EASE OUT Day 1
This is my 4th Cleanse since last January. It had been 25 years since I last experienced a MC. Somehow I forgot how wonderful it is and how good I feel on it. Feel years have melted off along with the pounds.
LOVE it.
I’m with you re; OJ. Never liked it til the last cleanse in September 2011, which is when I watched “Forks Over Knives” a wonderful documentary available on NetFlix or online. It changed my life. Went 99% plant-based diet. Had been a vegetarian for about 25 years, then meat for the last 15. Now vegan. It’s all an experiment. Definitely recommend it.
Now I use my new-found love of orange “nectar” instead of reaching for sweets when necessary.
Loved your metaphor of climbing a mountain. Thanks,

I’m attempting the cleanse for the first time. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years now, but was always too scared about feeling sick or tired. I have a pretty busy lifestyle, where every second seems to count, so it never seemed like the right time.
Well, now I’m in between jobs and in between homes for the first time in forever. I have a conference I’ll be attending in just two weeks, so I figured there’s no reason not to just do it.
I didn’t bother with the ease-in, and I looked for un-iodized sea salt today but couldn’t find it, so I guess I’m not doing the salt water flush. I’m pretty sure I’ve read somewhere before that you’re supposed to do the swf OR laxatives so I grabbed some laxative tea and capsules (I’ve never used one before) and went to it.
Just made my first ‘meal’ so we’ll see how it goes :)
October 2, 2011 at 6:48 pm
Hahaha that’s exactly how I started!
and now I’m on the ease out
I was between jobs and having wanted to do this for years.
I recomend the salt water flush and the laxative, I found it really helped the process along faster, I found it in wholefood stores pretty easily. But I don’t think it’s a big a deal if you don’t.
Enjoy darling,
It’s a pretty cool adventure.

I wanted to do the group cleanse, but I also knew that I would be going to a retirement party for my boss this week, so I planned to start my cleanse the week after. I’m doing three days of juice and raw food, and then 10 days of the master cleanse. This is the first time that I am doing it but I want to turn my health around, and clean out my body. I have done one other juice fast before for 7 days and found the first three days were the most difficult, but I made it. Since I work very early in the morning, I already know I will be doing the salt flush in the evening. I do plan on biking most of the days I’m on the cleanse. Should be interesting.

Today is Day one for me. It is lunch time here and I am actually holding my own. I think starting this while my hubby was on a business trip was a good idea. Lets see how tonight goes…..
June 29, 2011 at 11:22 am
Day 1….drink 1 for me. Went down easy…we shall see about the next 9 or so :)
I put away any snacks….so I wouldn’t be tempted. I am a little nervous because I also am doing p90x (day 7) and not sure if my calories..or lack thereof will be a problem.
May 3, 2011 at 8:18 pm
I am a college student and don’t know if I should do the cleanse. I have a toxic colon Im pretty sure. I know I need to get this junk out of my body I am 5,4′ and 123 lbs I used to be about 110. Is this safe?
July 30, 2011 at 10:58 am
Hey there Mary! I am a college student as well and I am starting today any advice? I am nervous about how it interacts with my spaztic life style.
November 2, 2011 at 3:07 am
Dear Mary,
In my experience, having done the Master Cleanse a few times over the years, different people can react differently. I did not have headaches or nausea, but both of my adult daughters did and even passed out. I would definitely ease into it and not plan on being in class or away from a restroom until you see how your body is going to react. Give yourself plenty of time in the morning to use the restroom before you plan to go anywhere if you have to. Do your research and always have the drink handy. For me, I am successful as long as I follow the program. If I run out of juice and am away from home and get hungry, then I start having problems with my attitude! Ha ha! Best wishes.

The Master Cleanser was written in the late 1940s. No one has died yet. You will not die from ten days drinking lemonade with cayenne. The program gives your digestive system a rest, and it allows the removal of built up toxins — as you suggest.
If you do decide to do this make sure you do a lead in. Take a couple of weeks eating raw fruits and veggies and then do the Ease in followed by the cleanse and the Ease Out. You will feel like a new person.
Do educate yourself about the diet and prepare by having all your necessary foods on hand. You’ll be glad you did this.

I have completed the master cleanse for 10 days each time about 8 times now. Recently I have had concerns that I might be developing an overgrowth of candida. It isn’t a yeast infection per se. I have been experiencing allergic reactions that I had never had before and have had other symptoms of candida. A friend of mine suggested that it could be from all of the sugar intake from the MC being that it is one of the main ingredients of the lemonade. There is a lot of sugar in the maple syrup and I’m wondering if anyone else has any answers as to whether this could be unhealthy or maybe you have an explanation as to why it isn’t unhealthy. We are realizing how unhealthy too much (doesn’t take much) sugar is for our bodies. Please give any feedback. I would like to do the MC again but am having second thoughts.

Thank you so much for this site. I know I can do this already, but anytime I think about quitting I am going to come and read/reread things here. It gives me the extra confidence in myself.
(1st cleanse-day 2)
Yesterday (day 1) was soooo much easier than I expected, so I started expecting the rest to be easier too. I’m not hungry; I’m simply not. I just want to chew lol.
I compared it to my boyfriends today.I said it’s like when your hungry & the food you have tastes good (I think the lemonade does), but its not what you want. He laughed, but I think he understood what I was trying to say.
I am proud of myself; I made him sweet potatoes, chocolate chip pancakes this morning & I didn’t even crave them or want to cheat! He said he was surprised I made them & told me I should take a break from cooking. I don’t think I will though (at least not all the time), because I am discovering I actually like cooking for the joy of cooking, not just the eating. I’ll have to see if this changes or not. :)
Thank you.
