The Lemonade Mastercleanse Group!

Hello! I couldn’t get a forum working properly unfortunately, so I figured we can all post comments in here to discuss how we are going with the cleanse so far! It’s 4:47pm here so far and I haven’t felt hungry all day! I’m stoked. I have had about 4 cups of lemonade and 1 cup of a herbal laxative tea. I can’t find my peppermint tea! Somebody stole it….which is very annoying! I have had headaches everyday for the past week but today it was gone! So that’s a plus! I’ll upload a youtube video later on tonight before bed with any further updates and I’ll weigh myself and see if I have lost any weight. It will probably be water weight but any weight gone is good in my opinion! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

If you want to find out more information about the master cleanse such as the recipe for the lemonade and tips for staying on track I highly recommend a book called ‘Successfully Start The Mastercleanse’

How are you all doing? Sometimes your post won’t go up straight away and I have to moderate it for some reason but I’m online alot so I’ll approve it pretty quickly An example of a day menu on the cleanse is as follows: Breakfast: Laxative Tea Morning Tea: “Glass of Lemonade” Lunch: Lemonade Snack: Peppermint Tea Dinner: Glass of Lemonade Before Bed: Laxative Tea You are supposed to have laxative tea or laxative pills or a saline wash during the cleanse to clean out your bowels. The lemonade master cleanse is a great way to flush your body of all those toxins from Christmas break! While on the cleanse you shouldn’t feel hungry! If you do, have some lemonade and you will feel fine. The recipe for the lemonade is as follows: 12 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (you will find it in the spices section of your local supermarket) 12 tablespoons of Grade B Maple Syrup (I got organic maple syrup from the health food store but its available at the supermarket) You are meant to drink 10-12 cups of lemonade daily. You aren’t supposed to exceed this but if you feel really hungry then drink water first. If the hunger doesn’t go away you can drink more lemonade until it does.

If you want to start the diet you can get a Mastercleanse Kit below :)

    By the way Mel,
    how are those jeans going? (from your ‘you tube’ post) Can you zip them up? And is US size 0 is an Aussie size 4 or 6?

  • Mel

    Goodluck Meryl! My skin always feels the same lol so i haven’t noticed. how about anybody else?

    Diana I think that should be fine :smile:

    and Natalie, no i cant get the tsubis to zip yet! I can get all my other size 0 jeans to zip up because they are elasticy but tsubis have no give. i’m hoping to soon tho! I’m a bit scared to try in case i dont fit and get sad ahaha

    US size 0 is Australian size 4

  • peach

    Hi!
    I wanted to buy the ingredients on this site because I dont live in United States but in France and I wasnt sure to be able to find the right maple syrup. Thank you for giving me replied. :smile:
    I continued to read your results!

  • Natalie

    Ouch size 4 :shock:
    I’m just stoked to be in my good old ‘Just Jeans’ 6′s. I dont think I’ll be wearing a 4….EVER! Plus I think my hubby would have a fit if I lost any more weight :wink:
    Thanks for all the tips & support Mel. You’ve helped me so much, you really are an inspiration.
    (ps was called a ‘yummy mummy’ today, such a good feeling)

  • Marie

    Morning of day 6!!! =)

    I am so proud of myself of hanging in there! And it gets so much easier along the way, I definelty think I could do this for 15 days! That is my goal!

    I have lost another 1.6pounds ( 0.7kg) since yesterday!!!

    So far I have lost 10 pounds!!!!!!! ( 4.6kg! )

    I am loving it!

  • Paige

    I’m going to start it on Monday… I just need to go buy the ingredients :)

  • Alice

    I was going to start this the other day and I managed day one. I was slightly ill then but thought I was getting better but instead I got worse so have not ben able to do my cleanse.
    I have tonsilitus so lemons are a no no for me. I have decided to start back on the diet when I am better which I hope will be next monday and until then I am only eating soups and yoghurts to help my body get used to having not as much as normal.
    Hope everyone else is getting on alright!!

  • Amy

    Hi there Mel! I have a question…
    I am thinking of starting this on about a week… though I am really really worried about putting all the weight on I lose withthis diet after I stop. Did you experience any of that? And too, do you recommend this diet or the hoodia combination you are on now?
    Thanks in advance! (You can email me your response if you would like.)

  • Mel

    hey

    i haven’t experienced any of that, im on day seven now. I lost 6.6lbs in 6 days but I’m just so over it. I think hoodia is wayyyy easier, the weight just dropped off but this diet is quite hard!

    You have to have really good will power to stay on it. Goodluck! If you can afford the hoodia its definitely a better option.

    xx

  • Mel

    Hey Natalie :smile: Congrats on being called a yummy mummy! I’d love to be a yummy mummy one day!!!

    and Marie….THAT IS SOO AMAZING ABOUT YOUR RESULTS!!! Well done!! I found day six really really hard but stuck with it. I hope you make it through. Well done!

    Goodluck paige :grin: If you can make it through day one you’ll be fine!

    and Alice, I hope u get better :sad:

  • Marie

    I hope I can stick to it as well:)
    You are lucky that you only have 3 more days;)

    And you look amazing in both of those photos, but the progress is so noticable!

    I am probably losing weight a little faster than you since I am so much bigger to begin with!

  • Amy

    Mel,
    I can afford the hoodia… I am just looking for FAST results. One that will not cause me to gain weight when I stop and one that will not mess up my metabolism. So do you think hoodia is the way to go?

  • Ciara

    I wanna have a size zero but i don’t have that much money to buy all these products and I don’t have the time to eat the many meals a day got any tips?? :sad:

  • Mel

    Thanks marie :lol: I’m glad its noticable so my hard work pays off. only two days to go now yay

    Amy, this is much cheaper than the hoodia diet which offers fast results too. It’s just alot harder so if you have the willpower do this!

    Clara, why not try the cleanse? You can get all the ingredients for under $15

  • Amy

    Thanks again Mel! But I am a little confused… are you taking Hoodia and doing the cleanse right now? I was thinking of doing the cleanse and then maybe the hoodia… but I am still really scared about the weight coming back thing:( This is your first master cleanse right Mel?

  • Mel

    hi amy!

    doing the cleanse right now and it’s my first one :grin: i stopped taking hoodia for the moment

  • jamie

    Mel

    Do u know of a good hoodia brand I can buy here in the us?

  • Mel

    Hi Jamie,

    Hoodia balance and hoodia chaser are available in the US. The company that produces it is based in the US (I think you get free shipping!)

    Have a look at my main post http://www.celebrity-diets.org and you will see the results i got with it

  • Nicole

    Hey Mel,
    I was thinking of starting this cleanse in about a week (when my schedule is less hectic)but I was wondering about the schedule of it; do you take a salt-drink in the morning, lemonaide and water during the day, and herbal laxative tea at night? I was also wondering how this new diet affects one’s *ahem* bathroom schedule… like, I can’t be going to the bathroom 14 times a day if I’m working or at school, you know? Also, after your 10 (or more) days, how are you supposed to re-introduce food into your diet? Thanks :razz:

  • Marie

    Doing my daily weight update.. haha:)
    Morning of day 7!! =)

    I have lost another pound ( 0.5kg) since yesterday!

    So far I have lost 11 pounds!!!!!!! ( 5.1kg! )

    and that means I am halfway to my mastercleanse goal! (22lbs) Do you guys think I can reach it? I plan to stay on the cleanse for 15days!

  • Meryl

    ok end of day one of master cleanse…didn’t feel hungry all day but am actually sick of the taste of the lemonade already any ideas? ! xx

  • Paige

    I just picked up all the ingredients and I’m starting today. Hopefully I can stick to it!

  • Erin

    YAY just picked up the ingredients im starting now.

  • Julie (from Denmark)

    Hi Mel.
    Do you think the lemonade diet will be easier if you do Hoodia at the same time…? (I have tried Hoodia for one week now but haven’t got any results yet… :sad: )
    I think I could do the 10 days but 3 days more after that, without food will be hard. What are you suppose to eat after the 10 days…? Orange juice and nothing else?
    Thanks

  • Mel

    hey jamie, the schedule u said is right! I mixed it up a little bit too. It doesn’t affect your bathroom schedule that much! Don’t worry lol and you are meant to drink orange juice for 3 days and have vegetable soup to introduce food back.

    Well done marie!

    Meryl! If you thnk you are going to wreck it, something I did mash banana up and heat it up in the microwave and put a tiny bit of maple syrup on it

    Goodluck paige and Erin!

    Julie, that could work! You won’t get the detox benefits but weight loss could be major. After the ten days its orange juice and vegetable soup and slowly reintroduce food.

    Hope you all are going great!!

    xx :lol:

  • jamie

    I’m starting the detox tomorrow. I haven’t been eating much this week because I’ve been with a cold. Do u think the detox will still help me shed weight? How does this make u lose weight? Thanks Mel!!

  • Amy

    Mel,

    Do you think that I have to do the salt water flush in the morning? I am SUPER salt sensitive and I am afraid that I am going to blow up like a balloon!

  • lauren

    heyyy
    can sum1 jus please explain to me though how this diet actually works out in the long run??

    i dont understand how ppl will keep the weight off because as soon as u start eating properly wont u gain :S?

    wb plz
    xxxx

  • misreea

    what happened with the videos on youtube??they stopped at day seven???

  • Alice

    So, I am better…yay!! But forgot to start today. I actually lost 4lbs being ill last week so that has cheered me up a bit but I bet it’ll all go back on jujst as quickly.
    I really want to start tomorrow. Is there anyone else starting tomorrow who who like to do it with me?

  • marissi

    hi,

    im turning 17 on January 25th.
    so i’ve decided to try the master cleanse tomorrow I’m hoping i will loose 10 pounds by my birthday.Is there any one else who is starting this tomrrow?

    xoxo

  • Mel

    hi lauren

    the idea of the diet is to detox and once you go back to eating normallly you generally eat alot healthier. I noticed after the diet I actually craved broccoli and other vegetables! You also make more of an effort to diet and exercise to maintain it (e.g.I got up at 5:30am to go to the gym today whereas usually I’d sleep in)

    Hi misreea! I stopped the cleanse at about midnight of day 8 and I have been too embarassed to tel lmy youtube subscribers yet. I will post a video soon about it!

    Alice, goodluck with the cleanse! Stay strong!!

    I’m going away with the family for 5 days so if any comments don’t come up straight away it’s because they need to be moderated, most of them go through tho.

    Goodluck everyone! I hope you will miss me as much as I will miss you lol! You are all my little online family :razz:

    xx

  • Erin

    YAY I just finished day one and I lost 2 pounds!!!!!!!!!!
    mel i was wondering if I could stop drink the laxitive tea I don want my body to get use to it (have fun on your trip)
    good luck to all

  • Marie

    Today is my first ease off day. I got so siiiick of the whole cleanse and my weightloss was standing still…so I started the ease off on the 10th day instead of the 11th. Oh well.

    Troughout the whole cleanse (9days) I lost 5.6kg ( 12.3lbs)

    So hopefully these will stay off… I will now start a new fitness/diet regime!

    Good luck to the rest of the cleansers! :D Stay strong!

  • nina

    hello everyone- reading about your achievments over the past 10 days was very inspireing! Would love to start right tomorrow- but going back to germany for a week to see the family- will propably need this diet even more after I return. Since I live in the UK I constantly put on weight- like 8kilos over the past 3 years maybe… so I am longing to fit into my skinny jeans again :wink:

    I had the lemonade this summer- but used hot water, I thought it was really tasty as a hot drink- not sure if it reduces the effect…

    The ‘take a photo each day idea is great- will take one and consider going on the diet until I leave…

    So maybe I will join the club tomorrow :smile:

    nina

    p.s.: again- respect! the longest I ever lasted on such a strong regime was 2 days…

  • FUCKER

    I dont care about weight loss.
    but is it good for you?
    after 10 days do are you all
    flushed out and healthy?.

  • Jonail

    :smile: This is my 2nd time on the cleanse. The 1st time i lost 18lbs in 10 days and i felt alot better. It’s day 4 for me and so far i’ve lost 6lbs, but it’s alot harder this time. I had head aches everyday. Good luck to everyone doing cleanse. Its hard at first but you’ll love the results.

  • Paige

    12 pounds? That’s awesome. Great job :) I didn’t get to start the cleanse the other day because… my friend died and all this other bad stuff. I started today though. Wish me luck.

  • Mette

    Do you have to drink the saltwater in the morning?

  • Meryl

    12 pounds is incredible congrats on finishing! today is my day 6 its actually been pretty hard, up until today has been good not hungry feel really energized but today i am sleepy and have a really bad headache and my arms hurt…did anyone else feel that way! going to stay strong not to far from finishing anyway!!

    good luck everyone else!! xx

  • katelyn

    hi, i really want to do the mastercleanse but im sure my parents will not like it at all is there any other ways i can do a diet that gets you really quick results like this one. (I really want to loose weight on my inner thighs)

  • caris

    hiya read all the posts your are all doing really good well done :mrgreen:
    i really want to do it because at the moment i feel really bad and i look terrible and i need to lose some weight but my parents wont let me because i used to have an eating disorder :cry: so im kinda hoping to try and do another diet
    i have heard its quite good but not as cleansing but you drink water befor during and after every meal and sometimes you just drink water so hopefully it works and my parents wont know :???:

  • Mel

    Hi all!

    I hope everyone is doing really well!

    I am on holidays with the fam at the moment which is why I haven’t been able to answer questions yet. Sorryyyy

    Goodluck and stay strong to those doing the cleanse

    Ill be checking the comments and approving the ones that require moderation so keep checking back if yours doesn’t show up straight away

    Xx

  • Paige

    Yayyyy I finished day one and lost 1.1 pounds… I’m on day two now and it’s going awesome.

  • Amy

    SO Sunday is the day that I am supposed to start the Master Cleanse. Though I know that it was really hard for you Mel and stopped early. So since you did it, would you recommend it? I just really really need to lose 10 pounds and fast (don’t we all?). So Master Cleanse or Hoodia? I am willing to do both.

  • Julie (from Denmark)

    HI EVERYBODY
    Question to all of you who have been on the diet – even if you didn’t finished it: Is the weight lost visible ? Some of the weight lost MUST be water but can you see a difference in the mirror?

  • chantelle

    :shock: so WOW!! are you allowed to take Birth-controll with this diet?!?! Just wondering… :???:

  • Mel

    Hey erin! How did you go on the cleanse? You would be on day 7 now wouldn’t you! I don’t know if you can stop taking the tea, I bought tablets because I think the tea is nasty lol I think you need to take some sort of laxative.

    Nina! Did you decide to do the cleanse in the end? I wish you luck! I don’t think I will try it again hehe. I loved the results but it was damn hard

    Friend It is good for you, it is a detox and you feel healthy throughout the cleanse but it is mentally tough to do

    Paige goodluck on the cleanse, sorry to hear about your friend =( I hope you are ok

    Mette I think as long as you do the saltwater sometime during the day (or drink laxative tea or take a laxative tablet) you wil be ok

    Meryl Did you finish the cleanse? My arms didn’t hurt, that is weird!

    Katelyn Don’t we all hehe did you decide to go on the cleanse?

    Caris I don’t think its a good idea to secretly diet behind your parents back if you used to have an eating disorder, maybe you could discuss a healthier eating plan with them. Maybe you don’t look terrible at all but you cant see it. Maybe you should read through some of the weight loss plans that dont require fasting so your parents dont worry (jessica albas is good)

    Amy The cleanse is good at the start but the weight loss really drops off after the 5th day and it is mentally draining. I definitely vote for hoodia. It made me eat less and lose weight. I think the cleanse is great as a detox but not THAT good for weight loss as I gained 2kg back in waterweight in five days :( boo hoo

    Julie The weight loss is visible in the mirror but the waterweight will come back

    Chantelle I don’t know sorry!

    Sorry if I didnt answer anybodys questions. I found that on holidays I binged because of all the restricting on the cleanse. I gained about 2kg back but have started just eating healthily and working out more. I have unlocked a few little weight loss secrets and found some great tips which I am going to put in a post soon!

    Hope everybody is on their way to wonderful weight loss results and feeling confident, sexy and beautiful (because you are!)

    I am also going to have a competition on the site soon!

  • gemma

    :lol: hiya all am gonna start the cleanse tomorrow not sure how i feel about it yet because i really enjoy my food so……we will see

  • Neek

    Hey Mel,

    Just wondering what brand of laxative tea you use and whereabouts can you get it? Is is available in Woolies or Coles?

    Thanks
