It’s day 5, half way through the 10 day cleanse. I woke up today had a small craving for a piece of whole wheat toast. Whenever these cravings surface, and they will surface, it’s important to just grab a glass of lemonade or water and not dwell of food. That’s what I did this morning and my toast craving was quickly wiped out.
Other then that I’ve been cruising through the cleanse without any trouble.
If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.
Keep up the good work everyone!

It’s 5:15 pm on day 4 of the New Years master cleanse and this is typically where the magic begins. Okay maybe not magic, but most of you should be noticing some very nice changes taking place. Many of you have been sharing your progress in the comments section and I’m thrilled to hear about your success so far.
Many of you have already lost as much as 10 pounds, you’ve noticed your complexion is glowing, and that you just plain feel good. And as good as you feel right now it’s only going to get better as you continue to do the Master Cleanse!
One thing I did want to talk about today was exercising on the Master Cleanse. I highly recommend you stay active when you do the Master Cleanse, but please don’t push yourself too hard.
The cleansing and detoxing process can take its toll on your body and you don’t want to add to that by over exerting yourself while working out.
There is no one size fits all workout I can suggest you do while on the Master Cleanse because the intensity level suitable for you will depend on your current physical condition. In other words an Olympic sprinter can workout harder on the cleanse then a person who’s out of shape and hasn’t worked out in decades.
As a general guideline I suggest you exercise at half the intensity as you normally do:
If you normally run for an hour a day drop down to a light jog or brisk walk for a half hour a day
If you normally curl 40 pound dumbbells for 20 reps do 10 reps with 20 pound dumbbells
Most importantly you should pay attention to your body, and don’t push yourself too hard. I’m a exercise junkie myself so I know how hard it is to skip a workout, but while doing the Master Cleanse sometimes the best thing to do is relax and take it easy.
Talk soon

I hope everyone’s having a great weekend. It’s day 3 of the New Year Master Cleanse. I like to call this hump day because once you get past the third day you tend to slip in to a groove and the master cleanse becomes much easier.
If you drink a lot of caffeine, smoke, or have a strong sugar addiction the first 3 days will likely have you going through some withdrawals. Don’t give up. You’ll find your cravings for these things will be less and less severe as you get further in to the cleanse. Not only that, but if you decide to drop these bad habits for good after you finish the cleanse is the perfect time to do that.
Naturally breaking unhealthy habits is one of the less talked about master cleanse benefits, but it works like a charm.
So far my master cleanse has been gone great. I’m drinking 100 ounces of lemonade, and 200 ounces of filtered water. I’ve been going for two, half hour walks a day, doing about 15 minutes of light yoga in the morning, and doing 25 sit ups two times a day.
I’m also starting to get that light, energized feeling that comes from doing the master cleanse. It’s a really good feeling that’s hard to put into words.
So far there hasn’t been any major cravings or desire to quit.
I’ll try to make another post before bed, but for now keep up the good work everyone!
