Hi Cleansers!

This is my third time doing the master cleanse. The first two times were for 10 days. This one I am shooting for 30 but I’ll leave it up to my body to decide.

Some questions I have-
Does eating piece of lemon cause the digestive system to kick back in?
Can I drink carbonated water as a treat if it has no flavoring or anything else?


I wanted to share some helpful tips-

If the SWF is not working the first couple times, try drinking a large amount of regular water about ½ hour to an hour after you drink the salt water. Usually I feel a dry thirstiness in my mouth and I take this as my cue to drink.

If the tea is causing cramping make it weaker. I make mine weak on nights I need my sleep, like work nights. Then on the weekends I make it stronger. I have not tried the suggestion of drinking six hours before waking up. I might try that tonight because I don’t like cramps waking me up but it is more effective when the tea is stronger.

Drinking through a straw is much better for your teeth. I have sensitive teeth and cannot do the cleanse otherwise.

I drink FAR MORE then the recommend 12 cups my first few days. It makes it much easier as far as hunger and easing of symptoms and I am not sure I could stick with it otherwise.

For a treat I make a mix with limes instead of lemons and I put it in a wine glass. ;-)

Sipping on hot/warm water is my cure for the coldness. Some days I have to chug hot/warm water to chase the cold away and do a few jumping jacks but it does help.



Some benefits I have noticed-

Major skin improvements, blemishes gone, fine lines reduced- I get compliments on my “glow”
My ganglionic cyst in my wrist goes down and stops hurting. I am hoping this time it might go away completely!!
After the first cleanse I was regular for the first time in my life and stayed that way for months.
More energy. I work out hard on and off the cleanse but off of it I take energy pills and don’t have the same motivation and drive as I do when I am on. It’s just easier to move my body on the cleanse.
There is a tapping into higher energy spiritually. I am more aware throughout the day of positive things I can do for myself or in general.
I take up journaling again each time.
Weight loss. A pound a day steady.
I have asthma and allergies. When I am on the cleanse my lungs breath deeper than they ever do and both sides of my nose completely clear up...something I had never experienced until the cleanse.
Control over eating again, giving up bad habits.
Over all focus and motivation in my life.


I’m on day four and feeling good. The first three days were rough but today I feel good..not great but good. Glad to be cleansing!!

Love and Lemons Everyone!!!
