I got a question today about making the salt water flush more palatable.
Today is my first day on the Master cleanse. I cant wait to start losing weight and feeling good about my self again. I did this cleanse after having each of my three boys and lost all the baby weight. Now that my youngest son is 18, and I am 40 lbs heavier than I have ever been, I plan to stay on this until all the that weight is gone. I hope i have the willpower. It seems I lost myself somewhere during life and stuff. OK wish me luck I cant stand the saltwater flush, Does anyone have any suggestions for that?
While drinking the sale water is never going to be tasty there are some tricks to making it go down a little easier. One thing you can do is try out different water temperatures. I find cold water works best for me. You can also mix the salt with a just a small amount of water that you can get down in one gulp and have a separate glass of plain water ready to chase it down with. My final tip is to mix the salt with lemonade instead of water to help mask the taste.

SWF works! I'm on day 2 of the MC, day 1 of the SWF, and I had bowel movements approximately 2 minutes after chugging down this quart of water. I'm not sure if this was my body just naturally letting out waste, but I know that before the SWF, I was feeling hungry, and I usually have a hard time "letting out waste" when I feel famished. Immediately after this drink I did my business and no longer feel weak and hungry! It doesn't taste that terrible if you think of all the salty food you'd like to eat while you drink it. I found myself reflecting the taste of these salty foods in the taste of the salt water and that did the trick for me (but my mind is also easily tricked :P )
Thank you so much for the tips on the flush. I was drinking it and not able to finish 3/4c each time. I will definitely try the salt in less water and chase it. This is really helpful as it is torture getting it down.
Hi Tee, I have the same question about gum for cigarettes. I am down to only 3 a day, which is amazing for me. When I chew gum it is much easier to not smoke, and I feel that if I could chew the gum I would be able to kick them completely. Have you gotten an answer to this question?
I'm on day one, so far, so good... I think. Wanted to know if I could chew sugarless gum? I've read your book, over and over and over to get into my hot frenzy, so I started today. The drink is pleasing, I enjoy it. Not really hungry. One more question, if I slipped and smoked a cigarette (hence the gum question) would that totally ruin my cleanse, so I'd have to start again????
I have been doing the Master Cleanse now for 4 days. I have followed the rules and the right ingredients. I have not moved my bowels. I am discouraged and ready to call it quits. Any thoughts?
I would like to do the Master Cleanse but I'm worried that it might take my medication straight through me. I have an irregular and fast heart beat and take medication to control it.
