Managing The Master Cleanse Side Effects

by Raylen on December 12, 2006

Hello, I hope you’re all doing well.

There’s been lots of good feed back on this blog. It’s nice to read about your experiences with the master cleanse, and your comments have prompted the writing of todays newsletter.

It’s about the side effects of the master cleanse.

When you do the master cleanse you’re almost certainly going experience some side effects. Your body will be going through a major detox, and it’s going to affect you.

Fatigue, aches, and headaches are the most common, but each persons experience is unique.

There are some things you can do to lesson the negative effects of the master cleanse, but before I get that I think it’s important to restate the advice I give in my master cleanse guide….

—————————————————————————————
Always pay attention to your body, and don’t be afraid to stop in the middle of the Master Cleanse if you start to feel any adverse effects. Remember, the goal is good health, and you should not jeopardize your current health in the obtainment of that goal.
—————————————————————————————

I know how hard it can be to stop in the middle of the cleanse when you’ve got yourself pumped up to finish it through, but if you’re not comfortable with how you feel sometimes it’s the best thing to do.

But to help lesson those uncomfortable feeling you can follow these 3 tips…

1. Take it easy while on the cleanse. You want to avoid physically demanding activities and stressful activates. The master cleanse does take a toll on your body, and you won’t have the strength and energy you normally do so you’ll want to take it easy.

2. Drink lots of filtered water. You can drink your fill of water, but it’s important you drink filtered water. Tap water and bottled water contain chemicals, and the master cleanse is all about detoxing your body not putting toxic material back into your body.

To save on filtered water you can use a home filtration system like the aquasana that which gives you filtered water for just 9 cents a gallon. Here’s a link to the aquasana web site www.aquasana.com

3. Make sure your adding enough maple syrup and lemon. The master cleanse ingredients provide your body with nutrition and it’s important that you don’t leave anything out or skimp on certain items.

Following these steps should help lesson the side effects of the master cleanse, but please remember not to push your body to hard.

I hope this helps makes your master cleanse experience a little more pleasurable

Hi, this is the second time I’ve done the master cleanse. The last time i did it was about a year ago and made it to 12 days. I wanted to do it longer but i started feeling emotional and lost my will power to do it for more days. On the second day of coming off the cleanse i felt very emotional and suicidal until i ate some beef then i felt fine. i know it sounds really weird. during the cleanse i had a lot of detox symptoms from headaches, to a very large cyst on my forehead and a green fuzzy tongue. I guess i was pretty toxic. I decided to do the cleanse again now and I’m on day 8. On day 6 i started feeling really depressed and today I’m starting to feel like i want to walk out in front of a car, it’s a weird feeling i have no reason to feel this way and it seems to happen when i do the cleanse, is this a detox symptom or should i quit? if it’s a form of detoxing i want to get threw it but I’m worried it might be a sign of being depleted or something. Also this time around i’m having very few detox symptoms nothing as major as the first time i did it.

I just started the MC today and I’ve only been able to drink about 4 glasses, is that ok? I know that the book says to drink anywhere from 6 to 12 glasses. What are your thoughts?

Hi! I just wanted to share that this is only the beginning of day 2 for me and 4lbs are gone. I love the taste of the drink, salt water isn’t fun but manageable, I haven’t felt hungry but just the idea of a grape sounds awesome! I’ll make it just fine though! I can’t wait. I’m so curious what my body will do now after reading all of this. Best of luck to you all!

Kim April 9, 2009 at 9:19 pm

Hi,
This message is directed to Diamond. This is my second time to doing the cleanse. this first time i stayed on it for 12 days and lost 15 pounds and felt great. the first 3 days were tough, but it’s mental. this 2nd time around i haven’t had side effects accept the white tongue. i use the laxative tea instead of the salt water. I didn’t have an immediate bm after the salt water like was said to have happened. i don’t eat anything during the cleanse, just drink the lemon mixture and water(i have filtered at home) come of the cleanse like the directions say, easy. I did gain about 5 lbs back, the rest i kept off for a while until i strayed from my eating plan too long. this works just stick with it.

pp June 13, 2009 at 7:25 pm

This message is for Sam (102). The suicidal feelings may be from parasites; at some point during your mc, you can incorporate a parasite cleanse, but that might br too harsh. You can do a parasite cleanse once you start eating again.

joyross June 23, 2009 at 6:51 am

How frequently can you do the Master Cleanse? I am on day 10 and coming off after today but wanted to do it again in a few weeks.

CiCi July 13, 2009 at 3:07 pm

I’ve tried the cleanse several times and could never get pass day 2 but I’ve followed through this time and I’m on day 4 and I feel great only I’ve started my cycle and feel extremely bloated w cramps wondering should I discontinue the cleanse? Also I don’t use the cayenne pepper as I should is this a hindrance PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER

Home4us9 July 15, 2009 at 10:25 am

Poor planning…I hope you don’t discontinue the cleanse…but a woman’s cycle CAN be a major distraction. I specifically planned that I would not have my cycle be such a distraction during the 10 days…THAT & all the other adjustments, I thought, would just be toooooo much. That said, I suggest that you DEFINITIVELY include the cayenne pepper in your lemonade…I don’t see how you are killing your appetite without it…and you need the hoodia in each measure of drink you are going to consume right away. I make the recipe by the gallon, so that I’m always ready for the next glass. Also, I haven’t heard anyone suggest that bottle (I use the smartwater bottle because it’s cute.) by bottle…I place mine in the freezer to get that wonderful, childhood SLUSHIE/ICEE effect to my lemonade. I like what another comment said…using limes & lemons (equal measurements), instead of just lemons. Peppermint tea provides a LOT of restraint for me…and I’m sleeping so much better than before I begun the cleanse. I have yet to try sitting in a sauna for a few minutes…but, I’m looking forward to it. I think you will do okay, if you continue to add new elements that are safe, and as I said before DISTRACTING away from your discomforts. Next time…plan, plan…PLAN for your success! Happy cleansing.

Home4us9 July 15, 2009 at 10:57 am

Raylen;
Raylen…I’ve GOT to know??????? Are you male or female??? I can’t tell by your dialogs & narratives. PLEASE ANSWER. A picture would be nice. ALSO…I have questions???? about your “affiliate” marketing of the MC program info., you publish…I have inquiries…PLEASE email asap???? thanks…
I’m sooo mad at myself for being way too busy to properly document all of this wonderful success. I believe I’ve lost about 9 pounds already and I’m only on day 6…I keep getting my day count mixed up. I wish I could email the lady who lost 100 pounds already and has a wonderful oatmeal cookie recipe. I suggest Stevia as a sugar substitute when completing the cleanse. I’m looking SO forward to healthier eating all around when I’m done with the cleanse. Also, I’m noticing with many of the blog comments…people are not doing all of the reading they should. I’m suggesting to anyone I recommend this cleanse to…to READ, READ, READ ALL of the materials that Raylen offers. In order to really get ALL of the benefits, and prevent many of the side effects…one has to be knowledgeable…and that takes READING; COMPREHENSION; studying the body; healthy/healthier foods; etc…BEFORE THE CLEANSE. Also, thanks for the alkaline vs. acidic info…I would have panicked about the prospect of hemorrhoidal flareup/irritation if not for that info!!!! Thanks Raylen

Donna July 17, 2009 at 11:48 am

Been trying to get an answer.

If I do this clense, can I still work or will I be in the “potty” all day?

Sabrina Rodriguez July 17, 2009 at 3:42 pm

I would recommend NOT doing this with your partner. TWO grumpy people are not good. LOL
* message to person not doing the cleanse:
be aware of how difficult it is to be on this. It would be KIND avoid making smelly delicious foods for that week in front of your significant other… ;-)

Francis July 24, 2009 at 11:13 pm

Hallo,
Thank you for information on side effects of this diet. I started the diet this morning, and in the afternoon I had a splitting head ache. For a couple of hours I ignored it but it did not go away, so thanks everyone for sharing your experiences this is helpful. Thanks for sharing, I was almost about to give up.On the positive side, I liked the way I did not feel hungry, its amazing. I will keep going, I plan to do the 10 days and hope to lose at least a few pounds. Thanks everyone.
Francis

passion82balive July 31, 2009 at 9:10 pm

hi,
I haven’t started on the MC yet but an seriously considering it. However, I’m concerned with some of the side effects — I am a migrane patient and have metal in my head (causes headaches as well). I also have hypo glycemic symptoms when I don’t eat frequently. I also have an extremely stressful job….So, should I do this or am I putting myself at risk?? I am extremely tired and fatigued all the time and need to lose 15 lbs. so I thought it was time to cleanse my body from all the prior abuse. Please reply to passion82balive with your advise and opinions. Please help !!! I need to do something !

Stephany August 4, 2009 at 11:13 am

Hi everyone…. I need some help I am on my 5th day on the MC and I have lost 9 pounds. I would like to know how soon after I get off the MC will I gain it back. Another Important question I need to know what is the soonest I can go on the MC again after I complete on 8/08/09. Would it be safe to say I can go on it on 9/04/09 again?…. Please someone Answer me …. I really need advise asap!!!!
Thank you-
Stephany

Cherri' August 19, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Hey everyone, I have a question..it’s a little personal and gross but what should your stool look like, mine has only been very watery and yellow. Is this normal? I am only on day 2 of the cleanse.

Jewls August 24, 2009 at 1:09 pm

I am considering starting this cleanse after seeing my cousins amazing results. My question is, is it ok to do this cleanse having just 1 kidney? I had my right kidney removed 2 years ago due to a cancerous tumor growing on my kidney. I am not left with just my left kidney and wanted to know if doing this cleanse would put too much strain on my kidney…or if on the contrary it would be better to, since it will clean all the toxins from my organs? Anyone have advice on this matter. I am a 28 year old female, 5’8 250lbs.

jedoubles September 16, 2009 at 6:29 am

ok..i am going to ask the obvious …LOL..i made a batch this a.m. and it’s my first day. I followed the recipe..but all i taste is the pepper….is this how it’s suppose to taste? i was expecting more lemonade…flavor..any other experiences about the taste would be helpful..maybe i’ve done it wrong…
thanks

Jess

Diane September 25, 2009 at 9:06 pm

Ouch.

This is my first experience with MC. I’m on Day 2 and with some terrible intermittent kidney pain (left). What will ease this pain and when will it STOP?

Annmarie October 7, 2009 at 7:51 pm

I’m not sure if the MC would be good for me, I would like to try it if only for three days.I’m 37 and my issue is that i’ve had a heart attack two years ago after having my third daughter and i’m on medication. My concerns are that the cleanse might affect my heart in some way but i really need to lose the 15 lbs that i’ve put on . Another reason for the cleanse would be to remove what is causing me to be tired all the time and help me figure out why my period is coming every two weeks for the last couple of months.

sarah December 8, 2009 at 12:47 pm

So this is my second time around doing the MC. I did a couple mini ones this passed year to refresh. This time I am doing it with my husband and…..it’s actually going pretty good. I started a day before home so I could be ready to motivate him. I am finishing up day 5 and he is on day 4. I was a little nervous how long he would last, but he seems to be quite energized today and fully active lol! I on the other hand am seriously grumpy…and experiencing lower right back pain, at times sharp. Thinking its my kidney area…does anyone know if this is normal? My mother said maybe i’m not drinking enough water….or I might want to consider stopping if it persists. Any thoughts?

aj December 16, 2009 at 4:46 pm

I am on day five. On day three and four my kidneys were aching. Today I feel like I have a bladder infection…is this part of the process or should I stop the cleanse and start antibiotics. Bladder infections are miserable!

Traci January 4, 2010 at 1:20 pm

Hi,
Is anyone doing the cleanse and taking their meds. I can’t seem to be able to get an answer if it is ok to take any prescription meds or tylenol, aspirin, antacids etc. while on this cleanse. Does anyone know?? Thanks.

Blackbeltbty January 6, 2010 at 5:12 pm

Hello all….this is my 6th day on the MC diet and I havent yet been hungry and I, like those above make it in batches….I use 1 cup of the Maple Syrup and 1 cup of Freshly squeezed organic lemons and 1 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper to a half gallon of Spring Water as suggested in the book by Stanley Burroughs. Day 1, I did the salt water cleanse and it was rough. Day 2, upon wakening, I did the herbal laxative tea,(smooth move), and consumed the beverage throughout the day and that night, I did the herbal laxative again. I spent most of the 2cnd and 3rd day in the restroom. Nothing nice! On day 4, I was exhausted and slept most of the day up and down going to the rest room. by day five, just when I thought going to the bathroom would have halted some, I continued going only expelling yellowish liquid movements. I continued the process on day 5 and only experienced the headaches periodically throughout the day. By day 6, I started my menstrual cycle and didnt have any bloating, however, I did experience a little cramping, nothing major and I experienced some headaches throughout the day. I’m going for the 30 days and see what the results will be unless my tongue turns completely pink before then. Right now, I have the coated tongue, but must admit that right now, I havent had any hunger pangs. I have craved some of the foods that I enjoy eating like fruit and almond butter( I am vegan). I look forward to getting the most out of this cleanse cause I’ve attempted it before and never made it past the fourth day….It’s all about will power and determination. Peace and Blessings and good luck to you all

rita January 7, 2010 at 7:00 am

I am on day 6 and I’m cranky. I also started sneezing and have a wicked runny nose. Is this detoxoing or do I have a cold. I can’t stomach the salt water so I do the laxitive tea and you’d better be close to the toilet. I have 4 and a half days to go. Do you have to only drink OJ for the 2 days coming off the diet? I long for some warm veggie broth.
But I’m going to make it. I have to.

Nakia January 15, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Well this is my first day on the cleanse and i’m hungry. It also has triggered cramps. I like to motivate myself to get through another day of this. I am a 24 year old mother, and my daughter turns 1 next week. I think she will nedd her mom to be energetic, and for me to be on my ps and qs. I’m hype for the after effect. Truth is i’, giving her a big bday party and i want to look great. I will see old friends and family members who i havn’t seen since before i got pregnant. My weight generally goes up and down due to work, and stress. But i want to maintain it, and i want to stay around for my daughter to enjoy her mama! I pray that is all the motivatio i will need.

Lyma January 26, 2010 at 2:30 pm

Does anyone blog here anymore?

I am on day two of the MC. My headaches at time seem unbearable. I spoke with my cousin who did it for about 8.5 days and he suggested peppermint tea. That seems to work. I tried Chamomile earlier this morning and it didn’t work. I am finishing up the peppermint tea as I type. It has calmed down a lot.

dennia January 28, 2010 at 2:43 pm

I’ve been cleansing for about 3 days. feeling really good. wondering when will i have a bowel movement.

Apifani February 15, 2010 at 4:24 pm

Hi everyone…well today is the first day of my MC. Last night I drank the tea and this morning I did he SWF and just like it said…an hour later I was on the toilet. I started drinking the lemonade right afterwards. At first, it tasted ok but I was feeling like I was going to vomit…after about an hour the feeling left me but since then I have had a very hard time drinking the lemonade. The taste is really getting to me. Im not going to give up but, my question is….can I chase the lemonade with the filtered water????? Please help!!!!!!!
Apifani

Maggie February 23, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Lemonade diet day 2
This is my first time on the cleanse and I really like it so far. However, I have some questions. I feel great and energetic during the day, but last night I felt incredibly ill. I woke up with intense cramping, and sever stomach pain. I was hot and sweating and could not fall asleep. I went to the bathroom twice. After the second time I felt much better and could finally go back to sleep. Is this normal? Are the laxatives causing the cramps or is it the detox at work? Also, can I decrease the amount of laxatives I take as long as I am still experiencing bowel movements twice a day?

ranaisha2 February 28, 2010 at 10:25 am

hi this is my first time with MC this is my day 1 and i am so excited i really want to try to continue with this mc , i just want to know is it going to get better feeling light headed sort of hungry , i am also feeling kind of moody and this only the beginning of the day ..would day 2 be easier or harder ,i want to finish in day 10 with a good feed back to others . i wanted my daughter to start with me but i didnt think she can handle it ,so i decided to start it first and depending how it turns out for me the next time i let her start it with me by the way she is 13years old and she is not mentally ready … and now my 16 years old wants to start with me and i think he can but on his first day1 i think he ‘ll give up wat should i do …

Purita Lubaton March 12, 2010 at 12:10 am

Idid the 10 days diet.I was determined to Finish it and Idid. The result was great.Thank you so much.

Peggy March 17, 2010 at 4:24 pm

Hello! I’m on day 7. I have had a few headaches, but the fecal elimination is so surprising! I did not know I would still have fecal matter in my system after 7 days of no food. My brother did the cleanse for forty days and lost over 100 lbs. (Last year). Now he does the 10 day fast, which develops into thirteen days counting down the proper exit from the cleanse. I was getting weak and called my brother, he suggested the peppermint tea. I will try that. However, I continued to walk my 3 miles daily, and today was the worse. No energy…I will sleep the next three days…

battey March 24, 2010 at 9:06 am

I am on my seventh day on the mc.Yesterday i was about to give up,i lost all my energy and was about to faint.I was having a horrible sour throat ,runny nose and headache.I wanted to quit but i felt like a disapointment i tried so hard to relax my self,I guess i am feeling much better today.I hope i will be able to finish it.I have lost 5Ib in 6 days.Wish me luck..

Ramya April 7, 2010 at 3:20 pm

Hi,
I just wanted to know what I could eat during the MC, I have quite a busy life and recently I tried a fruit diet for 2 days and slept off for a long period due to hunger and could not eat the fruits for such a long period,even if it was for 2 days, I felt like it was for 2 weeks. So during MC, what foods can I eat safely? I have not bought the master cleanse diet book set till now and would like to know some more before I buy it.

volupt77 April 8, 2010 at 1:27 pm

Hello, today is the first day of the MC I have to say I’m a littte scared just from reading about the side effects. But I’m still going to do the MC wish me luck……..will be back on my 3rd day to tell you how it is going…..

Niki Coop April 12, 2010 at 1:04 pm

i have not started the cleanse but am considering it. I would suggest for anyone who has intense pain or cramps to consult their doctor. Especially if it is kidney pain. – Those are kind of important organs. Good luck to you all. I may join you. I have 3 boys a long with my husband and there is always tons of food in my house, this is an obstacle I need to have a plan for since i can not rid my house of food.
I am doing the cleanse to help my digestive tract.

MEL April 13, 2010 at 11:32 am

I am doing the MC I am on day 3 and I had a severe headache. I have lost 6lbs already. But the fatigue and the headache me be to much for me to bare. I am tryign the best I can to get through this but I cannot take the headache..

Misty May 9, 2010 at 8:50 pm

This is my first day on the master cleanse, and i have a slight headache but overall i am doing great. I am doing the cleanse with a friend from work and we plan on texting each other for support when the temptation of fries and Twinkies comes calling. We have books, and ps3 games and movies to keep us busy at home. I recommend the video games because your snacking hands are busy!

Steven K. May 17, 2010 at 1:54 pm

Started the MC today… They did not have organic lemons at my grocery store so I bought “fresh squeezed” Lemon Juice, all natural, not pasterized or anything like that… Hopefully that doesn’t take away too much from the diet… but I have to say though that I was a little scared to take the first sip but upon doing so it wasn’t all that bad!!

I’ll be sure to update along the cleanse as to my personal side effects and opinions of the diet. I’ve done quite a bit of research before trying the diet and am looking forward to feeling better and losing a couple pounds in the process…

Steven K. May 17, 2010 at 4:38 pm

So I’ve drank 3 of these so far today with it being my first day on the cleanse… as I mentioned earlier in my original post I was scared at first to try the cleanse I’m actually really loving the taste… kinda weird since I was concerned how the combo of cayenne pepper, syrup and lemon juice would taste together but it’s great!

Of course I LOVE spicy foods and all… I’m still impressed with the flavor…

I’m going to slam back another 5-6 of these baby’s tonight instead of my usual nightly 5-6 beers… I definitely do feel great though… haven’t made a bowel movement yet but overall I do feel energized even having only drinking the few that I have…

chani May 22, 2010 at 10:38 am

i went for 12& half days,started the orange/grapefruit juice cause i was so sick & stll am,my effects came at the later stage of the cleanse,started with headaches,heartburn, bad moods because i am in pain,legcramps,kidney pain,worst skin break out like large raw sore sores all over my body,coldsores,stiff neck,all swollen grands,earaches,now sore throat-hard to swollow,I have felt like i was dying, been having espom baths,tring to cope with this detox night mare,has anyone been through this type of poison release??

AmazedwithMC May 22, 2010 at 5:46 pm

I did the MC in January for 40 days. I don’t recommend going that long. I was determined to do a deep detox. Before I started the fast, I did a natural food fast for 7 days. I removed all sodas, coffee, and processed foods from my diet, only eating what you pull from the ground or pick from a tree. I took my self off of meats, and took supplements and iron. I drank nothing but distilled water as my beverage. In doing this, the transition onto the MC was effortless. I had no adverse affects of any kind. I did go through the kidney aches on day 4 and by day 10 I passed some very sizable parasite worms. I stuck to the EXACT program and lost 38 lbs. I fluctuate a 10 lb gain/loss now that I am on regular food. I have slipped into some of the old junk food habits (college finals!) and that is what caused it. So, now it is almost June and I have maintained a 30 lb loss. and feel great! It is normal to have a yellow liquid stool throughout. You are expelling your MC intake. I was cold alot and HAD to rest alot. I didn’t take on any heavy physical activity of any kind. I listened to my body. I am getting ready to start another MC for 14 days to maintain. You should only do it quarterly. It is dangerous to do this without reading the book. The book is only $7 at Whole Foods Market. Or you can get it online. This is a serious fast and should not be done flippantly. YOU MUST DO IT CORRECTLY. If you have ANY major disorders or are on medication, you should take the book to a physician and ask questions. The book says you cannot be on meds or vitamins while doing it. If you have cancer, you can’t do it. Vitamin C in the Lemon interferes with the chemo process. Hope this info helps….I am sold!

nakia May 23, 2010 at 9:44 am

Hi Master cleansers My name is Nakia I’m 25 married with 2 children just trying to be healthy so i can run after my little ones. I wanted to start my mc tomorrow but, i wanted to make sure that there are no steps i need to take before tomorrow..If any know anything on before starting the mc please let me know…Can you please put Nakia so i know the comment is made for me… thank you sooo much!!!

TINA May 23, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Hi All! I am on my 4th day of te MC. Day 3 was really bad, i had a headache thought it was frm caffeine withdrawl and had a cup of green tea.

Have lost 6 lbs in 3 days, cannot wait till day 10. Someone mentioned peppermint tea is ok? Does it have caffenine?

michelle May 24, 2010 at 4:02 pm

well i am on day one…..im feeling a little hungry and my head is killing me. Can you take any asprin while doing this??? also i smoke and wonder will that affect how this turns out. someone help me please.

HelpingHand May 27, 2010 at 12:02 pm

Hi Chani…
I haven’t started yet, but I do know that some people are much more toxic than others, and I *think* I do remember reading one or two people posting far above with experiences similar to what you have. More likely than not I’ll experience the same, if not worse, than you… as I know for a fact how toxic my body is just thru the numerous chronic conditions I have, the pain I endure with these conditions and the narcotics I’ve been using to treat the pain.
If it gets too bad, I wouldn’t hesitate to consult your Dr just to be on the safe side.
Otherwise, good luck to you and best wishes for a healthy lifestyle!

……………………

* * TO MOST OTHERS WHO POSTED QUESTIONS:

I’m looking to start the MC very soon for the FIRST time, just as soon as I’VE READ EVERYTHING A FEW TIMES BEFORE STARTING, so I don’t come back here just to ask stupid questions
In the meantime: here are some answers to the most frequent questions I just read here (with some disbelief, mind you!)

**’ QUESTION: What can I eat????? i’m staaaarvinggg!!

** ANSWER: NOTHING! umm…you *don’t* eat while on the MC! And the purpose of the Cayenne is to help kill your hunger so try adding more, or didn’t you do your homework?
** (in answer to almost 2/3 of all questions I saw posted on here by, I’m assuming… adults who don’t seem to know how to read NOR follow directions.) **

**QUESTION: Is it normal to feel tired and yucky? I feel sooo tired I just could sleep and sleep and sleep, BUT I’ll make my xxx miles of walking, by golly!

** ANSWER: YES! it’s NORMAL to feel TIRED and CRAPPY while on the MC. That’s WHY you were TOLD (oops, didn’t do your homework again?) YOU WILL/MAY FEEL TIRED and GENERALLY CRAPPY *…and…* to TAKE IT EASY and GET PLENTY OF REST!!

im wanting to try this master cleanse but Im wondering if its okay to do it while working, I work a pretty strenuous and fast paced job and was wondering if its going to be a problem or if it will affect my work, with all of the headaches and bowel movements. Also I get really ill if I do not eat every hour or two, Im wondering if this will be a problem as well or will the mixture fill me up like food? Thanks alot!!!

Hello,
I am on day 7 of the MC it has been a journey sometimes not an easy one, but for the most part I feel good. I actually like the juice, my stomach growls all the time but I do not feel hungry at all. Foods sounds good just because old eating habits, but I am able to prepare food for my family with little difficulty. I my concern is that I dont feel like I am losing weight I have lost 2 lbs thus far (on day 4) and I feel bloated still. I have not weighed myself since for fear of the number on the scale. I have not cheated weeelll on day 2 I took a couple sips of coffee just to help with the headache, as I was an avid coffee drinker. Any comments, advise out there. I will make it thru but I am feeling frustrated. I know weight loss is only a side effect but it seems after 7 days with out eating I’d shed more then 2 lbs.
