The Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs
So I am proud to announce that I am officially on my 5th day of The Master Cleanse!
For those who don't know what the hack it is - it is a detox program that consists out of a lemonade diet during the day, laxative tea at night, sea salt water flush in the morning and that's it! No solid foods, no coffee, no alcohol, nothing except the special lemonade that could be drank 6 to 12 times daily depending on how much your body needs to maintain its energy and eliminate hunger. This liquid detox diet can last 10 to 40 days again depending on your needs. At this point I am shooting for 10 days but may do 14. I know that my digestive problems have been bothering me for quite a long time now, resulting in a longer detoxication for better results.
I am doing pretty well and have no major issues while on the cleanse. Mainly because I have been on my gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free diet for about 7 months prior to the cleanse. It led me to experience less cravings this time around and doesn't give me serious detox side effects. Those who live a more unhealthy lifestyle may be greeted by side effects along the way like acne, rashes, spots and so on.
The only hard time I find is with my lax tea. I drink it right before going to bed and then I wake up early in the morning around 4-5am with abdominal pains that last me for at least an hour. In result of that, I decided to steep my tea for a shorter period of time (6 min instead of 10) and today due to this change I had my first so-so fine morning )) Going strong!
For one portion of the lemonade you'll need:
8oz of spring water
2 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
2 Tablespoons of Grade B Organic Maple Syrup
1/10 or a pinch of organic ground Cayenne Pepper
Mix it all together and drink it. It actually tasted pretty delicious )) In a couple of days on the master cleanse this lemonade will literally seam like a magical elixir to you )) It does to me now lol
And it is also about the actual experience! Pore it into your favorite glass to make the process so much more special ))
This detox program is meant to heal you from any of the discomfort that you experience daily. That could be digestive problems, liver problems, headaches, fatigue, joints pain, chronic cold symptoms and so on. The whole point behind it is when your body doesn't get any fat or protein into its system from the solids it automatically gets into a survival mode, which means it starts eating itself from within. Our bodies are so wonderfully built that instead of eating itself randomly, it first eats the bad cells. Since all the toxins are located in our fat cells that is what the body starts eating first. That is why this program lasts 40 days max because, supposedly, after 40 days is when the body starts eating the good cells too.
Here is the copy of the actual book that I found online
Here is a one more helpful reference for you
Enough with the theory )) I am still only in the middle of this practice and hope to really see the results. If not a full cure then at least a clean colon, clean mind and a healthy energy!

My Food Diary
I decided to include my daily food diery in every post I upload. It'll help me track my level of nutrition and may give you an idea of foods I enjoy on my yeast free diet/Candida diet ))
Breakfast:
1. Decaf coffee from PRET with Soy milk
2. "Wheat squares" cereal with unsweetened soy milk and chopped walnuts
3. A breakfast pot from PRET with a boiled egg, basil, quinoa, avocado and tomato
Lunch:
Green salad mixed with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onion, plain tuna, boiled egg and topped with olive oil.
I also had organic Mary's Gone Crackers Pretzels in Chipotle Tomato. They have no yeast in them, no sugar, no preservatives, no cholesterol and no corn. Just 4g of fiber. Love!!!
Dinner snack:
Same few pretzels dipped into hummus. Yum!
White Tea

Some news
So I've been following the Candida diet I've mentioned in the previous post for a month now. It is a dairy, sugar free, yeast and corn free diet. I do feel about 50% better, which to me is a great improvement! I've also lost a few pounds, which happens naturally when you cut all the sugar and alcohol out of your daily routine (not that I had planned on loosing any, but my doctor let me know it would happen any way). Now I'm in a constant search for new recipe ideas due to chocolate and sugar cravings. I surprisingly don't go too nuts over them but it happens occasionally ))
We had a Sandy storm here in NY which still continues to affect the city. It is getting slowly back on feet tho. Had to stay home for a few days with no power so of course that's when my cravings were the strongest lol Understandable enough ))
