I've tried it...didn't last past a day.

I just love me some food!

LOL I hear ya. That's why I did mine during a work week (instead of the weekend) so I wouldn't be tempted. But after day 3, I wasn't hungry anymore, but please believe I was G-L-A-D it was over.

My hats off to those that do this for 2 weeks or longer.

Day 2
 

Today was a horrible day while working...not because of the cleanse, that went fine...I haven't been hungry at all....the scale went down 3 lbs...I had several bathroom trips yesterday which is way different for me....today I made my "lemonade" too hot with the ceyenne pepper but I just diluted it some with water...so far so good....last night around 9pm I wanted a snack pretty bad but I drank my senna tea and I was fine....

to everyone who thinks that the cleanse is starving yourself thats incorrect...with six servings of the lemonade you are getting 600 calories you can have up to 10 to 12 glasses...more importantly you are giving your digestive system a break from having to breakdown the ridiculous junk that we (or at least I) was taking into my body on a daily basis....once you pass the built up "gunk" in your system...everything works better...this cleanses your liver and kidneys...but anyway nothing is for everyone, I'm not trying to convert anyone...I'm pretty healthy for the most part...definitely not doing it for just weight loss (5'9 145lb to start) and can't wait to be healthier all the way around...this is going to work for me...

I thought this thread was about the stuff you take when you need to flush out your system to pass a drug test. But now I'm a lot smarter for reading this thread!

I have been trying to go raw vegan for awhile after being vegetarian for several months. I found a thing about the MC online and was planning on starting this week, however, we don't have many stores in this town other than walmart and I can't find the Grade B syrup so I"m having to order some. I have the rest of the stuff, so I am really thinking about going ahead and start the MC tomorrow with Molasses untill the maple syrup arrives.

I'm going to do btwn 14 and 20 days of the MC, then after coming off of it, I plan on becoming a 100% raw vegan, which means I will eat no cooked food, no animal products. Definitely not a lifestyle for everyone.

good luck with your cleanse...try grade A syrup until your grade B arrives...just maybe cut it back a little....they have grade A at Super Walmart...(here anyway)

How is 500-600 calories a day healthy? Granted I'm not exactly at a healthy weight, but I've always heard doctors say that 1200 is a healthy intake, and that you shouldn't go lower than 1000.

beginning of day 3
 

another 2lbs down...that amount of lemonade is the least amount you should drink...if you feel hungry you drink more....I'm havin a hard time drinking the 60oz so I don't want anymore...you're also drinking herbal tea twice a day and should still drink additional water...thats alot for me....I'm floating by the end of the night...just got up to day 3 and I feel fine....so far the hard part is the salt water flush..couldn't get it down so I just drank more herbal tea, which is an option....

oohsofly,

How do you get past the need to chew? I'm fine, a little hungry, but the main thing is i just feel like i need to chew something.

I just had some of the tea and its actually pretty yummy!

Ice. Although be careful, because that "need to chew" sensation can be a warning symptom of anemia.

^^^^^damn now this chick is answering for me:mad: ^^^^^^^^^

CUGreekgirl...I bought these oriental flavored chewing sticks....I have a gum addiction and I work with people alot and I have an obsession with fresh breathe so I bought the peppermint ones...a veteran cleanser told me to chew on the lemon peels but that seems to intense for me....are you doing the salt water flushes??

I haven't done the salt water flush yet. I plan on doing that in the morning, since today was my first day on MC. I think I'll be able to do it, i'm pretty good at swallowing gross stuff (ok, that really didn't sound good, but you know what i mean)

Last time I checked, this was the CHIT-CHAT forum on a PUBLIC message board, not the "ohhsoflydelta" show. Are we having security issues, that maybe someone could answer a question with a valid answer besides you??:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Plus, I think it's important for her to know that the "need to chew" could be a symptom of a serious problem.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

that salt water flush was the hardest thing for me. I did it the first day, but after that I would just gag from the smell. do those laxative teas work just as well?
