I am on Day 7 of the MC and I feel great. I have done this fast many times before and it works well. I would not recommend it for dieting, or even for detoxing, for more than 10-14 days, especially if you are not significantly overweight. I think one of the most important things you can do is drink plenty of water in addition to this; however, if you feel chilled, you may be drinking too much. Drinking the water will take care of the headaches. I’ve not had a single headache this time around. I’ve not felt fatigued or dizzy either. I found that the amount of cayenne recommended was too much for me, so I cut it down to 1/8 t. for a two-day portion and it seems to work fine and be easier to drink. I recommend you not exercise too vigorously on this fast unless you work out at least 5 days a week in a gym. Even then, you might want to cut down, just to allow your body to use it’s energy to cleanse and to get what might be some much-needed rest.

I’m on Day 3-when I weighed first thing this morning, I had lost 4 lbs. after 2 days on MC. I was very pleased with this since I’m 5′4″ and weighed 126 to begin with. I have a very petite frame and my comfortable weight is 108-115. When I put on more I start to feel pain in my joints and other issues. I hope to lose 10 lbs. Day 1- I drank only 4-10 oz servings of the lemonade and the rest in water. The water has been no issue for me because I drink about 2 liters a day anyway. However, I did not do the salt water on Day 1. Day 2-I followed exactly-drank 6-10 oz. servings, lots of water throughout the day, and the 35 oz. of salt water ONLY before bed. For me, I would not attempt this at any other time during the day. I was running to the bathroom many times from 8-midnight. I did have very back headaches Day 1, 2 and a little today…but is getting better. I am pretty stubborn and have some will power, so I intend to stick with it. Will keep you posted.

WOW, Chani – I don’t know about all that, but you have just scared the crap out of me seeing as that I am on day 2 and fighting a headeache and general fatigue. I won’t be able to get through it if that is what is coming.. I would go see a doctor if I were you.
