This cleanse is perfectly healthy but with anything you should check with your doctor to m ake sure that YOU are in good health before starting it.

I've done this before (only for 5 days) and I felt ten times better! Some peopple do lose weight but it tells you that this is not intended for weight loss - just cleansing of the body and preparation for a healthy start (some people do this cleanse before starting a vegan lifestlye).

I got very hungry just reading about this cleansing diet last night. I don't think I could live on just liquids. Good Luck.

Your body needs to take in a certain number of calories on a daily basis. This is not healthy and the weight you lose will be gained back+ because you're starving your body and it will slow your metabolism down.

If you want to "purify" your body, go through your pantry and trash the crap. Eat fresh foods and whole grains and exercise.

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.

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!

Mine isn't going so hot. I started it Saturday, but slipped and ate some french fries with the kids I babysit for. Sunday was successful and so was yesterday. Last night I passed a kidney stone... at least I think thats what it was? I've never had one before but thats what it felt like. So this morning I didn't do the SWF and I drank OJ cause I needed energy after not having any sleep. THe rest of today I'm drinking the lemonade. The salt water flush isn't all that bad if you drink it slightly warmed. Just think of it as Chicken broth without the chicken. Drinking it at room temp was awful!

Sorry I haven't been around but my daughter has scarlet fever and has been in the hospital....she's getting better now (thank God) but I totally discarded the cleanse while she was in the hospital...so I'm hopeing to start back up by Thursday...I actually miss it and haven't been eating a whole bunch and I haven't gained the weight back..I'm making some minor changes once I start back...like using the capsules and this saline laxative instead of sea salt.....congrats to those moving forward and good luck to those beginning.....
