I am on Day 6...this is my 3rd mc...last one was a year ago. I did very well on day 1 & 2...no headache no fatigue. I spent the majority of the month of June preparing myself for getting healthy and eating raw (after cleanse). I stopped drinking coffee and feel this really helped with not having a headache for the first few days. Day 4 was super tough as I was obsessing a/b food. I spent 1/2 the day watching the food channel. Tyler Florence is such a hottie:) Day 5 I kept telling myself that I didnt want to be a quitter...Now, day 6 I just feel like I cant drink this stuff anymore. I do the lax tea am and pm. No swf as I immediately spew after drinking it. I do p & b shakes 3 Xs a day and drink tons of H20. But over the weekend I was mixing 6 tbs of fresh lemon/lime juice and 3 tbs of maple syrup w/a sprinkle of cayenne....adding 1/2 cup of water and chugging the mixture...then drinking water throughout the day. This morning I added some Chamomile Mango herb tea to my drink and it was much better. I need words of encouragement...I feel like eating again.

This is a reply to # 214,135Zeta,
Yes you CAN swallow more! Read what I posted as a reply to BlackButterfly's message. It will also apply to you, it applies to us all. This is not the most fun I've ever had and I can only imagine where I will be in 6 days. But I do know this...."The Mind is the Battlefield", and once you win the battle there, you are victorious.
Also, I would suggest NOT watching the food channel!!! Next to having cooked food affecting your sense of smell, that's probably one of the worst things you can do!!
Even though we will all feel at times like we are alone in the world, suffering ... while everyone else is out there having fun and eating, we are NOT alone. And we have to get this "suffering" feeling turned around to a more positive attitude ... otherwise, defeat will have a foot in the door. I'm proud of you for doing this ... you WILL reap the rewards of this seed you are "sowing" for your body and your quality & quantity of life!! DON'T you give up! I'll need YOUR advice in 5 days!!

This is a reply to # 214,142Thank you, thank you, thank you...I need someone to help me understand WHY I am doing this...Your msg to butterfly was super encouraging!!!! expecially the part a/b reasons: "THOSE will extend your days on this earth to enjoy all of the activities, things and people you enjoy so much" Great words of wisdom. I also am proud of you for starting your mc. I am at work now...its lunch time and one of our benefits is 'free' lunch. Today is Arby's roast beef sandwiches...I dont like purple meat anyway...I feel like I want to eat a grapefruit....Whats the difference if I eat a grapefruit or drink lemon/lime juice (w/pulp)?- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth...

This is a reply to # 214,146I don't know the answer to the grapefruit vs lemon question, although someone on here answered that last week I think, and there IS a reason. So, I will leave the answer to Pepe or someone else who is a veteran. Just don't alter the recipe. Can you do it and not end up on the floor or a limb fall off?? Sure you can, but there is a specific recipe for a reason. Would you be able to SEE any difference or FEEL any difference? Possibly not, but you may be interfering with the success going on inside. Stick with the lemons or limes that the book suggests, is MY recommendation.
Did you ever play Red Rover when you were a kid? Remember how we locked elbows or grasped forearms to keep "the enemy" out? That's kind of how I see this forum. The enemy is "defeat", "falling off the wagon" ... you know? so, let's lock arms and go forward to tomorrow. God's mercies are new every morning and he provides us opportunity for victory over those things which want to steal or damage our life. (wonder who is driving THAT train!!??) I know who it is and he is not going to run over me! But remember, he is only able to present the temptation, it is YOU who makes the decision. God Bless!!

This is a reply to # 214,151Hey lytl Q-
I did your attitude too....I think I love you:0)I am copy and pasting your wonderful words into a word doc and increasing the font to 36...I will print it out and stick it right infront of my face (next to a pic of me when I was 20 yrs old and wearing a bathing suit) I not only want to get rid of my gut, but I want to know I am doing everything I can to treat my body like the wonderful temple God gave me. I keep praying for strength and I will try to enjoy this experience.- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth... LytlQueenie

This is a reply to # 214,169Zeta,
I'm honored to be able to have any kind of positive influence. It is not by my wisdom but by His words that I speak. The Bible says we are offered "darkness and death" or "light and life" and then He says "Choose Life". That's what I have to do everytime I think about whining. This is all about DECISION. Am I going to give in to discomfort, desires of the flesh (in this case...food and drink)and keep the poisons inside my body ... aka "death", or am I going to do something that will gain life?? I choose life and it sounds like you do to!
Glad I said something that "clicked" for ya.
Middle of Day 1 here ... am I skipping rope over here? NO! I'm fatigued and already tired of lemonade...hehehe!!!! BUT, it's what I choose to do. By His stripes and this Lemonade I am healed! ;-) Not that I have any terrible illness that I am aware of, but I want a clean temple for my Lord to live in. Don't want one with rotten wallpaper with bugs (parasites) running around! It's house cleaning time!!
I also hope that a bonus will be getting rid of some extra pounds (I'd like to lose 25 pounds) but that will mean staying on it much longer than 10 days....so we will see. Read your Bible tonight when you get hungry ... I will be. I will find more strength there.

This is a reply to # 214,135Don't give in! You are doing great. I was on day 5 yesterday and I completely blew it. I know that even though you are not hungry, your mind is telling you that there are delightful nibblies out there for your tasting pleasure. If you eat them you WILL feel VERY VERY sick.
I ate some cookies and chips and queso last night even though I HATE chips and queso and even though I wasn't the slightest bit hungry. I am paying for it now ferociously. My stomach hurts, my head hurts, and my fingers look like little sausages. I gained three pounds and I am back at day one. I guarantee I won't break the rules again.
Hang in there and don't make the mistakes I did. I am so inspired by your conviction and the power of your mind and spirit to overcome your cravings.- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth... BkSocr4

This is a reply to # 214,147Hi Christy,
I read your post and it made me feel so much better... I am in the same boat you're in! I did the Master-Cleanse for 3 days and then ate this afternoon. I wasn't really hungry either, and while i was eating, I was thinking "This doesn't even taste good!" Now I am so mad at myself and feel really sluggish. All that crap is sitting in my body now... yuck. (haha no pun intended :) Anyway, I came back on here to read some more posts and hopefully get back in gear to start from day 1 again tomorrow. Reading your message really helped me, knowing there was someone else out there in the same position and feeling the same way.
I don't have the best willpower with food, but normally when I set my mind to something, I do it. So I'm really surprised and dissapointed that I messed up the fast so easily today without even really thinking about what I was doing. I did a salt water flush too and now am starting to feel a little better and a little "cleaner"! Anyway, I AM starting again tomorrow from day 1 and this time AM staying with it no matter what!! hehe. I will start coming here more to read/post messages for the support this time around, I think I was lacking that before.
Best of luck to you. Throw out those chips and queso! :)

This is a reply to # 214,135THis is the OTHER Christi...but I made it to day 6...;)!
Anyways, my mouth was watering over the weekend and on Day 5 I allowed myself to rinse my mouth with orange juice. I just swished it around a bit and spit it right out and rinsed very thoroughly with water and then did my lemonade. Worked wonders for my taste buds.
Sometimes when my mouth is craving to chew something or taste something I think "But am I hungry?" and I focus on my tummy and realize that no, I am not hungry, i just want to taste something else and my mouth is just going through the physical withdrawals of not eating. THe muscle memorization in the mouth muscles want to chew something.
I don't know if this is considered cheating or not....but the o.j. was a nice relief.
good luck to all of you!- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth... zeta714

This is a reply to # 214,166Christi-
Hey you are on day 6 just like me...I made a promise to myself to stick with this for a minimum of 10 days. I keep telling myself to be strong and keep focusing on the healing. This forum really helps. Many folks that I work with are on the SBeach diet. They are constantly eating meat and lettuce. It doesn't even look good to me. I feel stronger now after Queenie's wonderful words of wisdom. I know I can make it...That damn devil better get back!!!!!

This is a reply to # 214,135not to detract from the heroics here, but i don't see any problem with eating a grapefruit if you want! lots of people use the Master-Cleanse for cleansing, and it is common knowledge to eat a piece of fruit or a little avocado to 1. slow down the cleanse or 2. to break the monotony. Raw fruit IS cleansing! It's not gonna hurt you or your Master-Cleanse to eat a little fruit. besides the fast that it will be the most delicious grapefruit you will ever taste...you will probably find 1/2 a grapefruit will satisfy your little craving, and you can go back to the Master-Cleanse again.
my personal rule is "lemonade first, fruit if necessary". i ALWAYS eat bananas apples and avocado pieces the first few days of the MC, i could NOT survive without them, and all raw food is cleansing, especially to those who live off of cooked food.
pat yourself on the back...6 days on MC is great! keep going you only got 4 more!- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth... zeta714

This is a reply to # 214,187gee thanks...I was wondering if anyone was going to answer me back about the grapefruit. I have been reading pages and pages of posts and there was a question regarding using grapefruit or orange juice to change the taste a little as it is still citrus. I never found the answer. I realize we should not MODIFY the original recipe. The book does not mention using anything other than lemon or limes. I like using limes better (no seeds). So with this modifing the recipe question....where did the b&p shakes come from? I do not remember reading anything about this in the book. I got the bp's from the forum...so should they be outlawed also?

This is a reply to # 214,211The BPs have never beet a part of the original recipe. I don't know the source of this addition but I do know that the have called it "The Ultimate Cleanse".
I for one like doing the Master-Cleanse neat to let it work it's full mojo. The Psyllium and Betonite clay in the BP shakes are both pretty darn inert and your body is not able to digest then. They just past through your GI tract scrubing and absorbing toxins. Because or their inherent inert qualities I don't think that they interfere with the Master-Cleanse to any great extent.
I have done the BPs while off the Master-Cleanse with sucess and on my most recent 21 dayer I thought I'd give a try but changed my mind after the 2nd day cause I do enjoy the nice empty and light feeling I get from doing the MC neat.- Re: Day 6: Help,I cant swallow anoth... zeta714

This is a reply to # 214,213Yes, I agree...follow the plan...do not linger away with adding things not in the recipe. I read your comment earlier on herb tea; I mentioned in an earlier post that I added a cup of Chamomile Mango tea to my lemonade...I never gave it a thought on what 'other' herbs do to your system...I just figured I would have a change from mint tea and I really enjoyed it. Now that brings me to a bigger question re BPs: I did not buy plain psyllium husk, but found a blend called tri-clense from Whole Foods. It has psylum, flax seed, and other ingredients (cant remember now)It really makes the BP shake so much more tolerable as it tastes a lot like the lax tea. I wonder if this should be a no-no... I will post tomorrow on the actual ingredients. Let me know what you think:|PS..do you think it would be a huge sin to eat some grapefruit??? Man, I am obsessing a/b the darn thing.

This is a reply to # 214,228the flax seed do contain oil so while Flax oil is a really good way to add EFA(essential fatty acids) to your regular diet I would think if you do it on the Master-Cleanse the system will hafta deal with the digestion of the oils and thus cranking up the digestion.
I shop at Whole Food and I've bought both husks and the P pwder there. If taste and texture are a concer for the BP I highly recomend the P powder over the husks if you use the powder it's one tsp vs 1 tbsp of husks.
The BP shakes have to be drunk almost immediately after mixing cause otherwise it will gel up to the consistency of cooked oatmeal in a short time. The fromula as I know it is
1 tsp of P powder or 1 tblsp of the husks
1 tbsp of hydrated bentonite
Mix with 10 oz h2O and the follow with another 10 oz of plain h2O.
Because of the highly absorbtive nature of the B the shakes must be done either withing one hr before or after 1 hr of taking any nutrition or if on the Master-Cleanse the lemonade.
Right after I mix mine I slam it down so the taste has never been an issue for me. The longer you let the mix sit after mixing the goopier it gets. The texture of the powder, at least for me, is alot more palatable.
