It’s 5:15 pm on day 4 of the New Years master cleanse and this is typically where the magic begins. Okay maybe not magic, but most of you should be noticing some very nice changes taking place. Many of you have been sharing your progress in the comments section and I’m thrilled to hear about your success so far.
Many of you have already lost as much as 10 pounds, you’ve noticed your complexion is glowing, and that you just plain feel good. And as good as you feel right now it’s only going to get better as you continue to do the Master Cleanse!
One thing I did want to talk about today was exercising on the Master Cleanse. I highly recommend you stay active when you do the Master Cleanse, but please don’t push yourself too hard.
The cleansing and detoxing process can take its toll on your body and you don’t want to add to that by overexerting yourself while working out.
There is no one size fits all workout I can suggest you do while on the Master Cleanse because the intensity level suitable for you will depend on your current physical condition. In other words, an Olympic sprinter can workout harder on the cleanse then a person who’s out of shape and hasn’t worked out in decades.
As a general guideline I suggest you exercise at half the intensity as you normally do:
-
- If you normally run for an hour a day drop down to a light jog or brisk walk for a half hour a day
- If you normally curl 40-pound dumbbells for 20 reps do 10 reps with 20-pound dumbbells
Most importantly you should pay attention to your body, and don’t push yourself too hard. I’m an exercise junkie myself so I know how hard it is to skip a workout, but while doing the Master Cleanse sometimes the best thing to do is relax and take it easy.
Talk soon

Hi guys em so excited I feel light already day 4 of the mastercleans and going to week end em so scared I wont fall off the boat but all I tell my self is I wont give up now.
Hey I'm starting the cleanse tomorrow, but how did any of you guys prep the night before the actual cleansing date? Need help, because I don't want to not fail at this cleanse because I didn't start it off good. Any tips to get me started ?
HI everyone! Is anyone doing the cleanse this month? I am on day 4 and I have a headache, I almost gave up, but this forum is very motivating. Gonna be strong!
Hello Guys I'm on day 4 of the master cleanse day 1-2 was the hardest, I feel great and i'm not even hungry, not sure of how much weight I have lost haven't did a weigh in yet , but i'm sure I have lost some... Doing the MC for 21 days and i'm so excited to see the results.....
Hi everyone! I'm on my 5th day today. Half-way through the diet. May I just ask is it usual to have water-like poo during the cleanse? Because that's what I,m having since day 1.. Thanks and Good luck to us :)
I woke up to day 4! I am suprised at how great I feel. I am down 10 pounds and still have energy. I took the week off of work so I wasn't tempted by food in the break room or co-workers telling me I was foolish for starving myself. I have no breathing or sinus issues and I have been sleeping unusually well. Oddly enough, I did not have any withdrawl symptoms from caffeine...no headaches at all. My skin has improved...I still panic a little when I see food or have to go to the grocery store for more lemons. I tell myself all that stuff will be there when I am done...I don't have to eat now...I am doing something way better for myself...every hour I get through is empowering.... good luck to everyone out there.
Hi All! I'm on Day 4 of the cleanse and feel great. Did not expect such a great result. Truly never hungry, love the taste of the tea. My husband is amazed that I've stayed committed to this, but the day-to-day results really are reinforcing. I've lost 8 lbs and have lots of energy and feel like I'll have no problem going the full 21 days. Best of luck and good health to all of you!
I am starting my cleanse on Monday, i wanted to find a site to get support on how others handled the master cleanse. I have heard about this and people said it works wonders! I know it takes commitment and willpower and I have both! I am ready to start!
This is my second time doing the Master Cleasnse. The first time I did it was for my wedding 4 years ago. I think I did it for 10 days and dropped 9 pounds (I did not do the laxative). This time I am doing it to get a head start on losing baby weight from my daughters who are 16 months apart. I am on day 5 now but I broke my scale @ home and have no real way of knowing if I have lost any weight so far. I was able to measure my waist and I have lost an inch since day one. What are some of your typical day 5 results?????
Hi. I did the MC for 50 days and it was great, but then I had a surprise emergency surgery (unrelated to MC) and afterwards someone brought me some Odwalla protein bars and they did me in! Sugar is a killer and I went off the wagon for the past 1 1/2 months. So I started the MC again and today is day 3. Not sure how long I will go for this time since I just did 50 days that ended the middle of October think it probably not too smart to go for long so soon. I also started the C25K running program and am at the end of week 7 so am interested to see how this all is going to work together.
Anyone know how long a MC is a good idea since I just did a 50 day a couple months ago? My goal is never weight loss, it's just that I feel disgusting from the food I've been eating and need a significant reset to get all the sugar out and back on track mentally.
