The Master Cleanse

Okay, so I've been reeling this idea through my head for about the last 2-3 months. So on the Friday after Thanksgiving I am going forward with this. I figure to ease in with soups and juices on that Friday and be into the cleanse on that Sunday which I will stay on for 14 days. This is kind of a big deal to me as it isn't something I'm doing for diet purposes, but to kind of ween off all the alcohol and other "things" that have gone into my system over the years. And I know it's not the end-all be-all of detox, but I see it as a huge way to instill some discipline back into my life along with a sense of accomplishment. If anyone has done the cleanse could you PM me as I could use the support and information? Thanks.

Thanks, man. I know it's definitely going to be a challenge. I'd just like to hear from those who have done it so I feel safer about my body. I'm going to see a doctor on Friday to get checked out first, and I'm also going to talk to my aunt about it.
Yep.
Haven't seen the infomercial, but I'm sure that had something to do with pills they're pushing that make you blast away on the toilet.
And who the Hell is Klee Irwin?
I like to call him Mr. Disgustington.
Oooooooh, thaaaat guy. Yeah, no, I'm not looking for a colonic. This is more of a fast and detox. If this helps - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_cleanse
Again, hoping to hear from anyone who has gone through with it...
Good Luck
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Couple things-
The warm salt water thing in the morning, don't leave the house for at least 1/2 hour afterwards. TRUST ME.
Get the Senna tea, it really does work.
I would sometimes need a solid protein (like a lean turkey burger) at night otherwise I really would feel woozy.
You'll be exhausted. As your body detoxes, it's rough.
But the end result is beautiful. I stopped doing it because I had surgery that precludes me from it & I have to be really careful about my protein intake these days... but the Master Cleanse is awesome.
Thanks! PM sent.

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. I plan to stay regimented. All the beer, booze, pot, and blow that has gone through my system all these years will be nice to get away from and go cold turkey for a couple weeks. Now granted, don't think of me as any kind of addict. It's pretty much the drinking that's been a binging thing every weekend with regular drinking during the week. It'd be a nice feeling to know none of that junk is going through me for 14-17 days. But we will see. I can't promise I'll never drink or smoke again, but I see it as a way of balancing things somehow. But, again, we'll see.
I don't get it either... I'm just thinking that if I decided to do this, I'd be getting really fucking hungry by about Day 2. And if I could fire up a heater or 8 a day, I'd be able to manage.
Plus, I could probably stand to peel off about 20... everything I eat these days goes straight to my hips.

I'll try not to.
Jus joking around.
I'm skeptical of the Detox fad. I think if you eat clean food, and exercise, you're good.

Well, she thought i was serious...so I did it with her.
I made it 3 days and couldn't take it anymore.
It's rough!
The morning salt water drink/enema is ugly! I did get to the point where I began to really like/want the lemon drink. It was starting to taste really good.
I did notice my senses seemed to become really sensitive...especially my sense of smell.
I fell off the wagon when some people from work ordered pizza for lunch on the 4th day.
I was DONE!
They say if you can get past day 4-5 or so you are home free, but I couldn't make it. My friend did it for 10 days and said she loved it. I admit, she looked like hell and was ultra moody though.
No, I know ya were....I hear ya...Believe me, I know this can be categorized as a fad. But like I said, I think this is more of a sense of discipline than anything else. Once again, I will try and keep the sphincter attached.
When I need to drop a few, I Follow this diet. (not really a diet)
Monday through friday I eat...
Breakfast: A smoothie that has in it
1 banana,
5 Strawberries,
handfull of Blueberries
and 1 orange with a 1/2 cup of water and 5 ices cubes.
Lunch: Salad with grilled chicken. And more fruit.
If I need something sweet I eat a few pieces of dark chocolate (low sugar count)
Dinner: I eat anything normal that is NOT pizza or burger etc.. Just normal meals.
Saturdays and Sundays I eat whatever I want within reason.
I also workout monday through friday, with off weekends.
it works REALY REALLY WELL.
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
(salt water?! *gags* *dehydrates*)
Drink senna tea before bed
Wake up and drink salt water enema
Drink lemon drink throughout the day (fresh lemon juice, cayanne, maple syrup, water)
Repeat
The regime differs depending on who you get it from, but that's basically it.
I'm a very healthy person and the only reason I tried it was because my friend was doing it and I wanted to see if I had the will-power. I didn't! LOL!
Most people I know that have done it successfully did it not because they wanted to lose weight but to "detox". I'm still not sold on that theory, but some of them swear by it so I dunno.
Just be careful with it people. If you have health conditions, do not do it unless you speak with your doc...who will tell you NOT to do it but he'll tell you why you shouldn't, then it's up to you.

:eek:
Some have concluded it's the congealed psyllium husks (or something similar) of what people take during the cleanse itself.
Some people also claim passing green kidney stones, which is just congealed olive oil from the cleanse ingredients.
I think what also prompted the cleanse phenomena was a story about a guy passing crayon from when he ate when he was a kid, or something.
I'm pretty much undecided, but leaning a bit towards the snake oil factor.

Yeah, I read about this and figured this would be the best bet.
:eek:!!!! Dear god!
Good thing I stopped after day 3! LOL!
Well, now, you're just getting ridiculous...I''ll keep you people updated once things get rolling.....On a totally unrelated note: two words; Tucker Max.
I do 250 mls of olive oil and 250mls of lemon juice. 30ml shot of freshly squeezed lemon followed by 30 ml olive oil. Wait 15 or so minutes and do it all again till finished (so takes about 2 hrs).
If you can do it quicker than this then give it a shot but be cautious as the build up of oil in your gut can have weird effects. aka I spewed SO hard a couple of years ago.
Plenty of salad, fruit, brown rice, water, milk thistle, lecithin, seeds, red kidney beans etc
NO grog, dairy, meat, coffee, bread etc. Can have (over 12 days) 2 small 100g portions of chicken or fish (these were better than sex!).
Tough gig and the amount of little black pellets that came out my backside the days after the oil was fuckin fascinating. And yes I had my head in the bowl looking at them (at least 50)
