First! This is MY journey through my detox. Don't try anything yourself without researching and talking to your doctor! You never know what my body can take and yours can't. Everyone is different and you shouldn't take my blog as How-To but rather as a written experience of one person going through a detox.
As hard as it may seem for a person to deprive themselves from one of life's most delicious necessities, I know that once a year won't kill me, I've done the Master Cleanse about 5 times. Usually I try to privately journal my days to keep track and kill time writing instead of eating, but this time I decided to share it (to whoever may even read this) and show an honest reaction of how a person (24 yr/ female who eats 3-4 meals everyday and do light exercise 1-2 times a week) goes about the detox/fast. You may think I'll breeze through this easily since I've done it before, but oooooh no! Every single time is just as hard as the first time. If there is a person out there who can easily fast whenever they like, then tip of the hat to you and pleaseee give me tips! I usually do well with distractions but my life isn't so exciting to keep me busy for hours on end. But I also like that it's hard, because I become so aware of my body and its needs (because hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream is NOT a need, as I usually like to believe ha!).
So tonight (or morning) I just drank a glass of Napolina (fiber drink) and tomorrow I begin my pre-detox. I need to prepare my mind and body for what is coming (Its very hard to just jump into the Master Cleanse right after a weekend of regular eating).
Tomorrow I will drink a cup of coffee (not ready to let that go just yet) and then fill a big bottle of water with a few ounces of the Hollywood 48-Hour Miracle Diet. Hold your thought! I do not believe that this "diet" will make me loose 10 lbs as it claims (you will probably gain all those pounds back and then some...as all fad diets make you do). This is just my pre-game for the big Cleanse because you basically run your body for 2 days on only 800 calories! I water it down a lot because I love to eat and get really cranky when I don't, so constantly drinking this fruity juice keeps me distracted! The writing helps too because I reinforce my will power by writing my success, which motivates me to keep going!
