The Master Cleanse...

Mechanic Man wants to do the master cleanse or sometimes it is called the lemonade diet. Which basically you drink this lemon concoction and water and that is it!! The most effective is to do it for 10 days and of course he doesn't want to do it by himself. So guess who gets to do it with him??? Me that's who and I really like food I don't know how well this will go especially for my children. Can they survive a starving, grouchy momma? How well will I do fixing them food and not eating it myself?

I guess I should look at the benefits and know that I can potentially rid myself of toxins and supposedly have a lot of energy when it is over with. (insert winey voice here) But I really like food! But as such a good wife that I am I will give it a try. I read as much as I could about it and the say the shortest duration is 3 days so I'm thinkin' if I can at least hit that I have accomplished something. We start tomorrow...I'll keep ya posted.

You are not going to eat Wed at MCG? I did this lemonade diet for 28 days. Did you remember to get the Senna tea that you drink every night. Also, call me after you do the first salt water drinking. After 3 days, I was not hungry for food. I missed eating but was not hungry. I did get the burst of energy. Keep me posted how it goes. What made MM want to try it? I tried to do it 2x after I did it the one time for almost a month and I could never make it past the first glass. I guess I burnt myself out on it. I did get to where I didn't want to taste the pepper in my lemonade so I took a shot w/ the pepper in it so I could just have the lemon water. Do you have the book? Have you got your syrup yet? I think you have to get it at the health food store. Keep me posted.

I'm jealous!! I really want to do that, but I'm still nursing, so I can't! I think, like Darlene says, once you've gotten to the third day you'll be okay with going 7 more!! I think those first couple days are the worst.

I have never heard of this in my life and I don't think I would want to try it. I like food to much you will have to post your results for the curious people like me.
