From what I understand, it takes a few days for your digestive system to "shut down". When that happens, you'll be fine.

In my case, my lemonades tend to cause my stomach to churn as I am generous with the cayenne pepper (I built up the level of cayenne pepper gradually).

Hang in there, and think of how good this cleanse is for your mind and body : )

I feel the same way, but I read in a book that if you are "starving" and you want something to eat, think about eating a large plate of greens. If your willing to eat that, then you might actually be hungry. But if it's something else that you REALLY want, then it's just a craving, and you should wait it out, because it will pass.

P.S. right now I'm craving sushi.

Hi there

I'm guessing that the bloating is due to some cleansing that your body is working on.

My body reacts in a similar way to the Master-Cleanse too. Sometimes, there is no weight loss for a couple of days. Sometimes, there is even weight gain. But as your body cleanses itself and becomes more efficient, your weight will likely come off.

Like right now, I just started Day 8, and for some reason, my SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) didn't work as it usually does, even though I follow the same routine every day.

Sure I had several BMs but none with the force and amount of water that usually accompanies it. And I'm feeling a little bloated too. My sinuses are draining down the back of my throat. So, my body must be going through a minor "healing crisis" of sorts. Other than that, energy levels are good and I can focus on my work :)

Just follow the book, relax, enjoy the cleanse - it's all good! :)
