Master Cleanse Blog

Every once in a while I like to share a story about someone else’s experience with the master cleanse. Enjoy!

“Hi folks, I’m on the evening of my last day of the cleanse - whew, 10 days! I couldn’t get rid of any food, since I have to feed my 2 pre-schoolers 3x a day, and I cooked about half the days for my husband, without licking a finger or tasting a crumb! Even cooked for weekend guests who were very understanding. I’ve read NOT to make up a daily batch, because it should be drunk fresh, within about 15 minutes of making the lemonade, so I only made a batch on one day. Somehow I mistakenly got the impression that it was a meal-replacement plan, so I only drank 3 lemonades a day, instead of 6! until yesterday, which is when I re-read the material. It’s hard to make and drink it 6 times, but I’ll try to do that next time. I did the salt water and Smooth Move as directed; nothing else at all!

My carpal tunnel is much improved, as well as my plantar faciitis (severe heel pain) and I wanted to get back on my monthly cycle because I’ve only had 1-2 periods in the past year; and now I’ve been on my period for 4 days! Lost 11 lbs; thought it’d be more but that’s OK (from 173 to 162). At least my wedding band is not so stuck on my fat finger! I didn’t exercise much.

I can’t say I’ve felt better than I have in years, like some people, but I do feel very good. The afternoon of the first day, I only had 1 lemonade by about 3pm because I had run errands, and I had a HUGE headache, so I laid down, sipping my 2nd lemonade, and felt exhausted, plus very chilled, and my caffeine withdrawal symptoms culminated in vomit about 6pm, and slept the rest of the night thru. Zero problems after that! Day 2 and 3, took naps. Now I’m going to drink green tea in the mornings instead of coffee, and enjoy a cup only occasionally.

I think my cayenne pepper was stronger than average (McCormick Organic) so I didn’t use quite as much because it’s better to stay on the cleanse than quit just because of that. I worked my way up to the 1/10 tsp on Day 9. Definitely write your goals down and plan 2-3 days in advance, or more. An electric juicer was a big help to me.

The emotional/traditional aspects surprised me, such as when watching a DVD, I was dying and crying for popcorn (partially hormonal?) and when I come back home, I’ve been in the habit of eating something to welcome myself (because we live out in the country, it takes so long to run errands that it’s usually a mealtime upon my return, and I rarely get fast food). Most of your questions can be answered by reading the material. Food is EVERYWHERE so be vigilant. I told nearly all my friends and they were basically supportive! (even my ma, wonder of wonders)”

If you’re having trouble losing weight and fighting off food cravings there’s a good chance it’s caused by something called Syndrome X, which is caused by excessive sugar and carbohydrate intake. You can use the Master Cleanse diet to beat Syndrome X rather easily, but you have to modify it a little.

The ingredients in the traditional Master Cleanse are specifically designed to detoxify your body and increase your overall health, but if you are strictly concerned with fat loss there is a modified approach that is much more effective. The traditional Master Cleanse is not the best choice for fat loss simply because of the amount of maple syrup you must ingest. Maple syrup is very high in sugar, and that’s the last thing you need if you are looking to lose weight.

Syndrome X has a set of symptoms that indicate that someone may be suffering from insulin resistance, i.e. glucose poisoning caused by a diet high in processed-carbohydrates and sugar. Researchers estimate that 1 in 5 individuals (about 60 million people in the United States) have the body type that increases the health risk associated with this sort of diet, making them more susceptible than normal to various serious ailments such as heart disease, obesity, kidney damage, eye damage, blood vessel degeneration, and liver problems.

In fact, a diet high in sugar and processed-carbohydrates is now thought of by most doctors to be just as dangerous to your health as a diet high in saturated fat. A good book to pick up to learn more about Syndrome X is Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance by Challem, Berkson, and Smith.

Another big contributor to obesity and problems losing weight is the advent of processed foods and toxin-laced non-organic goods we consume everyday. Think of your body as a sump. The more garbage you put into the sump without proper maintenance, the more likely it is to back up.  Like a sump, your body needs beneficial detoxification to clear out the old toxins that lace nutrients from your cells.

From birth, we begin eating processed foods laced with chemical preservatives. Our meats have traceable amounts of hormones and pesticides—which all enter our bodies as we eat them. Furthermore, our diet revolves around foods that create acidic conditions without our bodies.

As we enter our late 20s to mid-30s, the toxins we’ve been eating for decades reaches a breaking point in the human body. As we age, our bodies store more and more of these toxins. These toxins literally break down a cell’s ability to effectively process nutrients from the bloodstream because they affect the body’s pH level. As a result, our bodies begin to think they’re starving because our cells cannot get proper nutrition. Meanwhile, our waistlines grow larger and larger as we consume more to counteract our rising hunger for the same junk food that’s wreaking havoc on our bodies!

As you have probably heard, this vicious cycle has killed millions of people. As these toxins destroy our bodies from the inside out, millions die from diabetes and heart disease (often direct consequences of our lifestyle habits). The cost of not breaking the deadly cycle of Syndrome X and improper body pH is deadly. The Master Cleanse for Fat Loss can help you defeat these two modern monsters of the human body.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that’s plaguing just about every developed nation in the world. In America and Canada, obesity affects 1 in 3 adults. In Europe (traditionally thought to be significantly healthier than the USA), some countries are affected to the tune of every 1 in 4 adults!

Some people say, just exercise, eat little and you’ll be thin. This attitude discounts some very important issues in the fight against obesity: the correct kind of exercise, the correct kind of food, and the correct mindset for weight loss. And besides, if staying thin was as easy as exercising and eating little food, why is obesity still a problem?

Getting thin isn’t just about getting to a certain weight on the scale. It’s about losing fat that’s stored in your body due to the poor diet that’s poisoned your metabolism. It’s also about forming and keeping the proper mindset about your body. Forget what the media defines as “ideal.” The Master Cleanse for Fat Loss is all about forming your body into what it is naturally—a breathing, strong, and efficient detoxification system that supports healthy cell formation.

Almost everyone remembers when they hit puberty and got their first few ugly bothersome pimples. All of the sudden, hygiene becomes a very real part of life in order to control a teenager’s acne. Most of us grow out of this stage and handle our acne with daily facial cleansing. For some of us, however, the acne problem never really goes away no matter how much washing, exfoliating and toning we do. An entire industry has been built around the skin care business, and it has made a fortune on the acne problem that plagues millions worldwide. Did you know that for many people, there’s an easier solution that costs a fraction of over-the-counter (OTC) skin care products? And that the best part of this solution is that it offers total body cleansing, not just facial?

The Master Cleanse for Acne is an all-natural alternative to all the over-the-counter and prescription drugs, salves, and creams available to those who suffer from acne. More and more people with acne are looking for new alternatives to treat their acne. The Master Cleanse for Acne alternative is all-natural and completely lacks any side effects, such as the dry skin and itchiness brought on by OTC acids used to treat acne.

The Master Cleanse for Acne has been the saving grace for many acne sufferers who prefer an all-natural approach that takes care of their entire body, not just their face. If you are already familiar with the Master Cleanse, then you already know the basics of eating a good, healthy diet and the effects it can have on virtually every facet of your life. The good news for acne sufferers is that the Master Cleanse can also help them with their acne.
