the Master Cleanse Update

Ok… I will finally post the “results’ of my “experiment. I quit the Master Cleanse after 5 days. And not because I “gave up” mind you… I can be stubborn to a fault and I was going to go the full ten days. The reason I stopped is, for one thing, I was given a lecture by a friend (you know who you are 😉 about not drinking the lemonade. Which you can tell from my posts how little I liked. The stuff made me want to gag, weird because several of my friends who have done this cleanse actually liked it, but whatever. They’re just weird 😛

Anyway I was drinking MAYBE 8 ounces a day…. and it’s supposed to be like double that or something ridiculous. So I was basically fasting. And the big thing is there is no point in drinking the laxative tea or doing the salt water flush unless you are giving your body something to begin flushing out of your system. So I thought it over and decided I was probably just being stupid by vowing to go the whole ten days. Not everything is for everyone, and while I have MANY friends who have done this cleanse and benefited from it, that doesn’t mean it’s right for me. I might someday find a modification of it and try that later, who knows. The night of the fifth day I did not feel well at all, which is when I began wondering… the next morning I woke up extremely shaky since I basically hadn’t been getting any calories for almost a week. I also should mention that I weigh 95 pounds… hence the reason that’s a big deal. It would be rather ironic if something that was supposed to cleanse my body ended up killing it ha.

In other news… I love Whole Foods. Never before have I enjoyed grocery shopping. My plan after the cleanse was to attempt to go 80% raw. Hasn’t happened yet, but mostly because I don’t know how… first I have to figure out how to cook without cooking.
