I am on day 4 of my master cleanse diet. As of last night I had lost 6 pounds and am down to 211.5. July 2008 I was 261 lbs. That is 50 lbs so far in 6 months, all started with the master cleanse diet.
The hardest aspect of dieting is the weight gain after the diet ends. The master cleanse diet actually helps eliminate bad behavior.
As you digestive system shuts down and flushes the toxins out, your cravings / addictions go with it. When you end the master cleanse you have the choice of changing your lifestyle or going back to fat. After struggling for 10+ days of no food, I choose to be healthy.
Now I am not a raw foods guy or anything like that. I stayed vegetarian for a couple months after my first cleanse, that helped keep the weight off.
My healthier diet actually allowed me to not only keep the weight off, I actually lost more weight!
Imagine the last diet you did.
Did you continue to lose weight after the diet was done or did the weight come back within 6 months plus a couple extra pounds?
That is where lifestyle change comes in. Master Cleanse Diets help you realize you don’t need french fries everyday.
So day 4 has some cravings for me today.
The red meat cravings are gone. Last night and today, I am craving pepperoni pizza. Is pepperoni a red meat? Not just any pepperoni pizza, let me describe it:
The pepperonis are crispy on the edges and greasy in the middle, not too thick not too thin. The chesse and sauce aren’t calling out to me but the crust certainly is. I am craving a hand tossed “regular” crust with a buttery taste. The kicker is the parmesan crusted and dusted on the edges.
UMMMMMmmmmmm. I am going to make that crust in a month or 2.
Now this part is gross. Proceed with CAUTION.
I did the salt water flush for the first time this cleanse. That is an adventure.
I took a quart of water and warmed it up on the stove top. Then I poured it into a quart jar that had 2 tbs of sea salt. Stir. Enjoy. Uh, I choked it down.
The reason for this aspect is you have to have elimination of the toxins you are flushing. As your digestive system shuts down, your bowels need encouragement to move. The salt water flush will blow through anyone. Literally.
I do not consume anything before or until after the salt water flush has well been flushed. I do not want anything to potentially absorb the salt and hold on to it. Doubt it would, but thts what I do.
Some people use Smooth Move tea at night. It actually moves smoothly through me to quickly to use at night, so I skip it. Smooth move is definitely an alternative to the salt water flush. Either one will get the job done though.
My sense of smell is insane right now. On my ride last night I could smell everyone’s food cooking. The hamburgers in my neighborhood made me picture crispy grill marks on a medium rare burger. Umm.
Time for another spicy lemonade.
