Master Cleanse: Day 1

Day 1 of the Master Cleanse (Tuesday) was not too bad. I think since this is my third time completing the cleanse that I'm used to the feeling of emptiness in my stomach. It takes time to break away from the habit and ritual of eating 2-4 times per day, plus all the snacking that we westerners love to do, but it can be done. All in all the day was fine, although I felt really groggy during the day and was a little tired by end of day.

The Master Cleanse And Why I Like It

 

I don't usually make posts about non-wedding subjects, but this one is taking up my entire week so I feel the need to share. I'm currently completing the "Master Cleanse"  (aka, lemonade diet) right now for the 3rd time in my life, and I feel pretty good. The Master Cleanse is a body and mind cleansing ritual developed by Stanley Borroughs. Essentially the program is 10 days of fasting whereby you drink lemonade only to cleanse your body of toxins. I don't think this kind of thing is for everyone, mostly because it's difficult to go without food and most people don't miss more than a meal a day - much less going 10 days with no food.  But I personally think it's a great program and I always feel better towards the end and afterward. Why? Because I have the physical desire to eat more healthy, my mind is clearer and I feel that I have more energy.

Anyway, in the next few days I'll probably be blogging more about my experience. Enjoy your weekend!

Oh and if you decide to take the plunge I recommend both of the above books (which are short, but packed with great information).
