MCGE – Winter 2010 – Lemonade Diet Day 4 – Momentum

By on January 14, 2010 in 2010.01-Winter, My Experience

Momentum is a funny thing. As a former professional hockey player, I was witness to some pretty amazing examples of momentum. I am not talking about the momentum from high school physics that deals (although the analogy has its’ roots here). I am talking about the extra man, the silent motivator, the wind at your [...]

Lemonade Diet – Day 5 – Half Done

By on April 20, 2009 in My Experience, The Master Cleanse

Gazing down the home stretch of the Lemonade Diet can be incredibly empowering. You can feel the momentum building towards the finish line, which at the same time can seem so far away. “Those last few days were hard, I’ve got five more to go.” “I’m getting in the zone, I feel like I can [...]

Lemonade Diet – Day 4 – Healing Events

By on April 19, 2009 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).

If Wednesday is hump day of the work week, day 3 is the hump day of the Lemonade Diet. Most people describe day 2 and day 3 as the very worst for cravings. By day 4, your body has adapted to its new routine and is no longer expecting meals at the usual times and [...]

Lemonade Diet – Day 2 – The Wall

By on April 17, 2009 in My Experience, The Master Cleanse

The false bravado of day 1 often comes crashing down on day 2. The first time I did the cleanse, I went flying into day 2 like the king of the world. I figured I got through day 1 so easily that this would be no problem. By the time lunch rolled around on day [...]

Well, we are past the Ease-in (if you did one at all), and we are onto the main event – The Lemonade Diet. Whether you are a Master Cleanser in the true sense, doing your fifth or even tenth Master Cleanse, or you are a rookie going at it for the first time, the first [...]

Ease-In Day 3 – Orange Juice

By on April 15, 2009 in My Experience, The Master Cleanse

Coming down off solid foods, we move into the orange juice portion of the Ease-In/Ease-Out process. The Ease-In is not as important as the Ease-Out. During the Ease-Out, the first day after the lemonade, your stomach is used to the citrus juice every day. The orange juice, still stripped of most of the pulp, is [...]

Ease-In Day 2 – Juicing, Soups and Broths

By on April 14, 2009 in My Experience, The Master Cleanse

Day 2 of the optional Ease-In starts by removing solid foods from our diet. Again, the Ease-In is just a reversal of the Ease-Out (which follows the Lemonade in the whole process of The Master Cleanse). Juicing fruits and vegetables is such a great way to get the value of food directly and easily. Since [...]
