Here’s a question from Debbie about eating on the master cleanse, and if having something to eat means having to start the cleanse all over:
I am on the 5th day of the master cleanse, on the 4th night I was so hungry and weak so I ate something, then on the 5th night I also ate something but I was able able to sleep again.have I screwed up,do I have to start all over again? Can I continue to do the cleanse without starting all over again? thank you- need to know asap!
This is a good question. To start with there’s no reason to be down on yourself over a little slip up. We all have our moments of weakness when we do the Master Cleanse and sometimes it gets the better of us. As for the effects of eating it really depends on what you ate. If it was a piece of fruit or some fresh vegetables you should be fine.
However if you ate a pizza or half a cheese cake you almost certainly interrupted the cleansing process.
But regardless of what it was you should just put it behind you and keep going forward with the Master Cleanse.
You might also want to try the steps for easing into the Master Cleanse in my Master Cleanse Book if you’re having trouble getting past the first few days of the cleanse. It’s helped a lot of people get past those difficult first days, and adjust their body to the cleanse.

Hi ….I am on day 4. Last night and today I have had a very bad bout of leg cramps, it was something that I was not expecting. Anyway, in a moment of panic, thinking that perhaps my cramps were something very bad, I ate a veggie sandwich on whole wheat and a glass of milk. Later I went on line to find that many people experience the cramps. Anyway, am i ok to continue with the cleanse or should I restart.
Thanks Jamie
Hello !
Day 1 ! I started with my sisters !!
And we all cheated gosh this is really hard :/
I ate 2 hot dogs i have to start over right?
I am on day 10 of the master cleanse. Last night I cheated….well, kind of. I made some zucchini pasta (literally, pasta made from zucchini) and took a bite. I thought, “well, a bite of vegetables can’t KILL me, right??!” WRONG! I was up all night with such awful stomach pains….from one bite! (Okay…one LARGE bite!)
Today being the last day, I thought I would feel wonderful. I feel bloated and tired…basically I feel like days 2-7 all over again.
I bought more lemons and maple syrup, because the outcome of the cleanse (until today, of course) have been great, and I want to continue.
However, can someone explain WHY vegetables or fruit of all things will make you so ill?
THANKS!
(and if I can do this thing….anyone can do it. Trust me!)
I have been on it now 3 days & I am allowing myself ONE piece of fruit of my choosing a night. I cannot fall asleep with the growling stomach. I’m technically FINE (I know ignoring it would be the best option) but it’s so loud & achey that I can’t!!
IVE DRANK ABOUT 6 CUPS OF ORANGE JUICE ON DAYS 4 N 5 , IM ON DAY SIX RIGHT NOW N DAMN WAS DAY 5 HARD. SHOULD I GO AN EXTRA DAY OR IS THIS ALRIGHT?
I am on my second stack of 14day fast with the MC
The first 14days were successful and went well. I experienced the normal foray 3days challenge.
I am very glad I did it. I took a week break of ease in and veggie / grape eating, and started over. This is day 5 …
I ate nuts while on the master cleanse, should I restart?
Concerned.
I did 5 days without feeling hungry! Went to a party and friends forced me to eat a little pasta but in the morning I had diarhea, so I am just going to continue.
Ok so this is my first day and I feel full. So it was easy. But wen am I supposed to start loosing weight. And do I have to do the salt water each morning?
I am on day 4 and am very dissapointed in myself. In a moment of weakness I ate a whole plate of chicken and potatoe stew.. I kinda feel crumy now.. Should I continue or start over?
I am on day 6 … Really proud of myself since I havnt ate anything since I started. I do have a bad habit of staring at the food in the fridge but not eating it lol… Have 4 more days to go but I finding it really hard to keep my mind off my empty stomach. Lost tonnes of weight aswell. I’m just freaked out that I have to ease back to food
my hands been numb n sweaty lately and is it ok eat banana n protein bar salad
i am now on day 3 and its going pretty good…sure got tempted but im determined and in a well-disciplined mindstate that i wont mess this up! 7 more days to go wish me luck….
