When I first read about The Master Cleanse, I have to admit I was skeptical. After studying nutrition at length, I was concerned about rapid weight loss. At first, I was concerned that the length of time without food would cause my digestive track confusion and perhaps hinder its proper functioning after the cleanse. Even though my overall reason for wanting to cleanse was much more than just weight loss, I was concerned that rapid weight loss would make it more likely that I would gain the weight back after the cleanse.
Now, after successfully completing The Master Cleanse, I can say with all honesty that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in regards to my physical and psychological health. Not only did I drop 14 lbs. In just 10 days, but more importantly, I was able to clear out the toxic waste that had been accumulating in my colon since birth and had more energy, vitality, and an overall sense of well-being.
Sugary and processed foods cause fecal waste to build up in our digestive tract, as well as stress, nicotine (both direct and second-hand), air pollutants, alcohol, caffeine, and many other external conditions and objects. This fecal waste is a breeding ground for bacteria and parasites and can obstruct our blood flow, deprive us of vital energy and be the source of many digestive problems, illnesses, fatigue, mood swings and many other health problems. Just imagine what these years of external and internal influences have done to your digestive system!
Master Cleanse:
The Master Cleanse aka Lemonade Cleanse is super affordable and 100% natural. Contains purified water blended with lemon juice, grade B organic maple syrup (real ingredients), and cayenne pepper. That’s it. With the exception of a few cups of herbal tea during the day, this mixture is the only thing consumed for 10 days at about 8-12 glasses. These three ingredients have everything your body needs to sustain itself during fasting.
The first few days of fasting are the toughest. The Master Cleanse takes planning and commitment to be successful. I bought the e-book guide “The Refresh Button” which was well worth its modest investment. This book guided me step-by-step through the entire process, inspiring me to move forward during difficult moments. The facts and frequently asked questions answered all my questions, including nutrition facts about the ingredients in the mix, how to survive the toughest days, what to expect, and how to make sure the body gets the nutrients it needs. What specific supplements can be taken to ensure that everything is being received. Its need so far will not interfere with cleaning. The book also provides Ease-In and Ease-Out diets, which I believe are vital to starting and completing a cleanse safely and successfully.
The Master Cleanse was my first “cleanse experience” and was by no means easy. I didn’t feel very hungry the first day because the lemonade concoction actually suppresses physical hunger, although I did have a headache and experienced some nausea. The headache was likely caffeine withdrawal. The other day I had a very slight headache and the mental desire for food was very strong and depressing. However, after about the third or fourth day my body drifted into fast mode and after that it became pretty comfortable. I did not experience any headache or side effects at that time and the only battle I endured was the occasional urge to eat, not because I was hungry but because I was programmed to eat Was. This was very important because during that time I gained mastery over my body and desires which is a skill I can use to improve every area of my life. I actually considered continuing with the Master Cleanse for a few more days, but since this was my first cleanse, I decided to play it safe and just completed 10 days at this point. I plan to continue cleaning about twice a year.
benefits
During the 10 days of fasting, my colon was able to rest and repair itself while clearing waste from its walls, which made me feel amazing. Not only did I feel much lighter and freer, but I also noticed a significant improvement in my outlook and outlook on life.
Upon completing the Master Cleanse, I immediately knew that my relationship with food had changed. I am now completely in control and conscious of what I am putting in my body and I naturally gravitate towards healthy foods and away from unhealthy foods. I feel less burdened and lighter. I could go on and on about the positive benefits of this cleanse such as greater clarity, better focus and significantly increased energy.
Waking up in the morning is easy. There’s no struggling to get out of bed or needing an extra “10 minutes” of snooze time. My digestive system gets flowing naturally which keeps my energy up and my colon happy. Other toxins were flushed out of my body during the Master Cleanse, including skin toxins, leaving my skin looking healthier.
My weight loss was a combination of fat, water and largely intestinal waste. Not only was I able to lose weight quickly, but not eating solid food for 10 days was a truly enlightening and life-changing experience. It was literally able to break any food addictions, both physical and mental, as well as create a stronger connection with my higher self.
Post Cleaning:
I haven’t gained the weight back since the Master Cleanse, in fact, I’m continuing to lose weight through healthy eating and exercise. Because I changed my relationship with food during the Master Cleanse, losing weight has been fairly effortless. I no longer feel like I’m being deprived by not eating sweets or other “goodies” that aren’t so good. In contrast, I feel frustrated with the “goodies” because I now see the bigger picture in contrast to the immediate pleasure of taste and how what is now perceived as pleasure ultimately leads to pain – overweight and poor health.
Not everyone will be interested in shedding excess weight after completing the Master Cleanse and maintaining a healthy caloric intake of around 2000 calories per day can maintain their weight. This of course varies from person to person depending on various factors like size, age, metabolic rate, etcetera.
In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, I definitely feel younger and have more vitality. My overall appearance is more youthful and healthy.
If you decide to give your mind and body the gift of the Master Cleanse, I highly recommend purchasing “The Refresh Button” e-book to guide you through it safely and successfully. If you have any health issues, such as diabetes, please make sure you consult with your doctor before trying the Master Cleanse.
Most importantly, stay safe, stay healthy and stay healthy.
