10 Pounds In About 4 days And A Little Encouragement
Aug 22nd, 2007 by Raylen
Mary took the time to comment about here experience on the Master Cleanse. In addition to already having lost 10 pounds with the help of the Master Cleanse Mary also has some good tips for making the salt water a little more palatable by using stevia.
Mary also asked if I had any words of encouragement. From what I see Mary is a strong motivated individual who will have no trouble finishing the Master Cleanse, but if she does need a boost I would say to visit this blog, or read through the Master Cleanse journal I posted a while back. There’s 100’s of inspirational comments that will help motivate you during the rough patches you encounter on the cleanse.
“I am on my second try on the master cleanse, this time not eating ANYTHING My first day is finished and I am not hungry.(Don’t anyone put a french fry in front of me!) For the cleansing and the salt water flush I use stevia to soften the harsh taste. I am a diabetic so the maple syrup is out. I have not taken any meds today and my glucose level is at about 5.1. This is very good for me. This is the first time I have drunk so much fluids in 1 day! usually I drink 1 or 2 teas and that is it for fluids for the day.
I will find it hard with the sw flush because there is so much water at one time. I don’t mind the salt with stevia powder added. I hate having no moral support at home for this. My husband consistently pushes me to eat. One day at a time…if I can just make it to day 10! I will save a bundle on food! The first time
I tried the MC (last week) I ate cucumber in apple cider vinegar. I did manage to lose 10 pounds in about 4 days. I did notice that I don’t hurt as much in my knees and hands and I was able to walk about 4 miles today. The aches and pains slowly go away a little at a time.
Feel free to email me if you have any advice or encouragement. Would love to hear from you!”Mary


This is my second day on the MC. I have tried before and did not last half the day. But…I have experience with juice fast and was able to stay on it for 12 days. So I know that it’s just a matter of mentally preparing myself. I’ve done this and feel really strong. Oddly enough, I don’t feel hungry. I am worried about leaving the toilet bowl though! Let’s see how that goes. Wish me luck! I am also wishing you all the same. We can do this!!!! Just think how amazing we will feel as each day goes by and even more amazing upon the completion!!!
Raylen, What is the cucumber and apple cider mixture? I’ve never heard of it before.
what is the cucumber cider apple vinegar and how much stevia do you add to the salt water, a taplespoon?
what do u mean u ate cucumber in apple cider vinegar while u were doing the mc
or did u eat that after ur 10 days. i did the ten days and lost 15 pds. ive gained back 2 in two weeks, does the cucumber and vinegar reallly help
I would just like to say that i completed the mastercleanse and before i started i could not walk 20 steps without having to use my inhaler…..i have been off the master cleanes for abouth 3 weeks and have not had one asthma attack!!!! i am going to go back on the mc because i was so peaceful during that time not having to think about eating…..i shoud mention that i cooked everyday for my family while on the cleanse but i had no cravings and was able to sustain..i am a diehard sweet eater and i would love to find the stevia product…..
good luck to all of you…..
