I hope everyone’s having a great weekend. It’s day 3 of the New Year Master Cleanse. I like to call this hump day because once you get past the third day you tend to slip in to a groove and the master cleanse becomes much easier.
If you drink a lot of caffeine, smoke, or have a strong sugar addiction the first 3 days will likely have you going through some withdrawals. Don’t give up. You’ll find your cravings for these things will be less and less severe as you get further in to the cleanse. Not only that, but if you decide to drop these bad habits for good after you finish the cleanse is the perfect time to do that.
Naturally breaking unhealthy habits is one of the less talked about master cleanse benefits, but it works like a charm.
So far my master cleanse has been gone great. I’m drinking 100 ounces of lemonade, and 200 ounces of filtered water. I’ve been going for two, half hour walks a day, doing about 15 minutes of light yoga in the morning, and doing 25 sit ups two times a day.
I’m also starting to get that light, energized feeling that comes from doing the master cleanse. It’s a really good feeling that’s hard to put into words.
So far there hasn’t been any major cravings or desire to quit.
I’ll try to make another post before bed, but for now keep up the good work everyone!

Hi everyone I am currently on my 7th day and it's 10:30-ish. I really thought by now that I would be having more BMs and losing more weight. I've only lost around 8 pounds. I started at 154lbs and I am only 5'5 feet tall. I really want to go down and be my pre-boyfriend weight hahahah of 130. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am following the cleanse to a tee.
On the upside, I feel great and not hungry at all. The first three days were rough because I only quit smoking 2 months ago and also drink (right up to before the cleanse) around 5-6 cups of coffee a day so withdrawal symptoms were in full force. BLAAAHHH what am I doing wrong?
Hey Everybody,
I'm continuing on my MC journey adding wheatgrass and some protein into the program. I was on the program a couple of years ago and my hair was thinning. I was on it for 40 days. I want to do another 40 days with my thick hair intact so that's why I'm adding protein and wheatgrass.
thanks for the info :)
I am a diabetic and on day one. Its m 3rd try but I am going to do it. does anyone know if diabetics need to substitutute molassis for the syrup, i mean will the cleanse still work?
I started my cleanse yesterday; I drank 60 oz. of the lemon cocktail and 8 oz. of the smooth move tea. I had a few moments of hunger but took another drink of the cocktail and it went away. Now this morning, day 2, I am drinking the salt water drink and can already feel it working. But I am not hungry whatsoever. I even have to force down the salt water drink. I will check in with you all tomorrow with my full report.
Also, I take 3 medications per day, blood pressure, thyroid & sugar glucose; I was not going to take them at all on day 1 but found that my vision started to blur and that is a sign of my BP and/or glucose levels being high. So I took them late in the afternoon and immediately the vision cleared up. My doctor gave me permission to do this cleanse. I could take my meds very early in the morning and give them 4 hours to do their thing but I'm thinking with my doing the salt water drink in the morning, I should take my meds in the middle of the day well after the salt water wears off. Anyone else out there sharing this same situation with taking medications?
getting ready to start today...in the afternoon...is the husk suppose to be cloudy. LOL. I'm afraid to drink it!
#9: A Facebook Account would be awesome!! Let's do it!!! :) I'm only on Day 2, and I admit it is harder than I thought it would be, but I will make it to 10 at least.
Question. I have been reading that the Master's Cleanse, as written should not be added to or taken from (ingredients). Why are so many people adding wheat grass, etc.? I would think it would be best as originally written. That is also what Peter Glickman's book "LOSE WEIGHT, HAVE MORE ENERGY & BE HAPPIER IN 10 DAYS" says to. Not to deviate from the plan as written.
Hey everyone!
Cheers to the MC and more lemonade! Day three going on day four here. Probably one of the biggest challenges, considering my career as a chef. I'm pushing right on through. The biggest hump is getting off my Diet coke and pellegrino habit.
Good call, hate to repeat another question, but day 11 is completley cutting out the lemonade? I love the lemonade, and I alternate with a fresh lemongrass tea with a little maple. Mmm.
Thanks for having this website. I'm really excited to be able to read others feedback on this. It's a great form of support!
Off to make a sacrfice to the porcelain god.

Lost another pound so now am down 7.6 pounds after
finishing 3 days and am on Day 4 now I decided to add the MC Secrets too just like Andrew above #7 I have taken 2 T. of Wheatgrass powder today (one T. wheatgrass with 10 oz.water and little stevia) that makes it go down alot easier. Also did the Psyllium Husk powder 2 times. (1T psyllium with 10 oz.lemonade) I'm doing my own thing and added to that ground up flaxseed too !/4 c. each drink (that adds more slippery bulk plus protein) and Bentonite Powder 1 t. each drink. Bentenite cleans out the toxins in your intestinal tract. Am getting better results with cleaning out my bowels. YOU have to make sure you drink more water if you add this. (Like another 10 oz each tiime.) I can't believe the difference I don't feel hungry at all like I can do this forever. I'll update you more tommorrow.
