Day 5: Half Way There

by Raylen on January 5, 2009

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!

I started the cleanse yesterday, so this is Day 2 for me. So far so good. This is my first Master Cleanse, and it’s easier than I expected. Hope it stays easy!

i can’t get hold of wheatgrass, fresh or powder, can i use alga spirulina powder instead? (i’m aware of the taste)

Day three for me and going great. This is my second MC. The first time I experienced severe headaches during the first few days and am glad to say that I don’t have the headaches this time. I’ve lost four pounds so far and hope it keeps coming off!

Hey fellow cleansers.
It’s 2 a.m. on Day 5 and I can’t sleep because I’ve been in and out of the bathroom for the past hour. And it’s true – things start getting really hot down there. The coating on my tongue is a brownish white but seems to be going down a little. I have felt pretty good during the cleanse – way more energy than I expected to have. However I miss food and coffee dearly! I don’t know if I’ll last 10 days but I’m cleansing til my tongue is pink and happy! Good luck everyone and thanks for sharing your experiences!

Its my 3rd day on the MC and my first attempt at it. I would have NEVER imagined I would feel fine without food! Yes, I miss it and when I see it my mouth waters, but I’m not hungry i just WANT food!…Hope the smooth sailing continues and I too ahve been going to the bathroom @ 4am & such…really can’t wait to start seeing “old” elimination but not yet. Let’s DO THIS fellow MC friends!!

Day 5 and I don’t feel anymore urges to quit. At work we are always celebrating something or someone, and even though the food tonight looks and smells great, the fact of knowing I will be healthier and thinner really settles my cravings. Coworkers are also noticing some weight loss, that’s an extra bonus.
