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!

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

Mel

hi neek,

i dont know wat brand it was, i just got it from a health food store for $5. You could just buy laxatives from woolies or coles!

How is the cleanse going kelly?

Hi Charlotte, I dont think u are supposed to take headache tablets because it goes against the cleansing part of the diet. I found that my headaches went away on the cleanse ! I didnt try the salt water because I think it would make me throw up lol

xx
charlotte

ooo ryt ok thanks what did you take instead of the salt water? did you try the laxative tea? how many times did you drink it?

i just bought the lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper im going to have to buy some more though because i dint think its going t last me the 10 days.

peace and love

I’m going to try this monday and I’m going to need all the support I can get, I’m soo nervous, my weakness is pasta and cheesecake, and thats usually where I fail on the 4th day the cravings take over me for pasta and the only substitute I read about for pasta is tofu pasta, so I’ll try that after this, my weight plummeted from a size 5/6 to a size 8/9 after a really bad breakup and the stress that came along with it, and I was a 3/4 a few years ago so I want to get back to a 4, wish me luck everyone I’ll need it
Nina

christy.. try taking daily walks even if its only for a half hour. It will be hard but you can do it. I was a size 4 in high-school went up to a size 10 in college…lost 20 lbs in 11 days on the master-cleanse. It really works.. you just have to focus and stay on track. Keep a picture of your goal weight next to you… it will motivate you. i’m now at a size 6 and want to be a size 2… working really hard to get to my goal size.
Amy

Nina,

Did you keep the weight off or gain it back? I really want to do this.. I just dont know how to come off of it?
Tiff

caroline

Hi,do you HAVE to take the saltwater and herbal tea?I dont have any access to it,but I really want to start on the diet anyway.Really hope someone answers!
Mel

hello all any questions will be answered in the forum under the mastercleanse post. lots of the questions have already been answered but if there is anything else u need to know please ask it there

caroline its imporant if you dont want to take the saltwater to take some herbal laxatives to keep your bowels moving, im not sure about the tea but i didn’t drink it

rudi, u can get the syrup from health food stores or the health food isle of your supermarket

nina, i did gain the weight back but it was my fault… i ate chocolate for a week

goodluck everyone!

Hey everyone just wanted to say that Ive been on the mastercleanse for 5 days, and as a person who loves their food thought it would be impossible. Its actually been a lot easier than I thought the first day was the hardest

Ive lost atotal of 5lbs and 2 inches of waist,chest,thighs and biceps and a inch of the hips yay

so keep going
lilly

wow, all the comments and info sound soo amazing, i’m gonna give this a go i think
lilly

Charmain

Hi, i’m planning on doing this. Is it ok for doing it for 2 weeks. And people that have done it, how much have you lost?
Thanks
Alessandra

Hey so im gonna do the cleanse right before summer break but heres the thing. first off i hatttteee my thighs…so those have to go but im 5’10 and 127 and have nice sized boobs.. not to brag its just a family triat. any ways im really excited to do the diet but when i lose weight will i lose my boobs because that would make me pretty sad thanks so much for this page its such a wonderful idea!!!!
Alessandra

sorry one more question..ok so i did some research and a lot of ppl talk about how doing it for 10 days slows down your metabolism and then your body eats off of your lean muscle..ok well i don’t mind that but im just wondering…when you are done with the program won’t you just gain the weight back and more because your metabolism is so low..comments??
Charmain

I’m planning on starting the mastercleanse today, but i’m planning on going to a theme park tomorrow, and that takes alot of energy, will it be ok?

Steph

I am on Day 3 of the Master Cleanse and I have not had any problems so far…Everyone says that you are supposed to have bad(good) bowel movements but I don’t think mine have been very bad(good). I feel like it is not working properly. I am doing everything that the book says to do (Salt water, tea, lemonade, etc.), any comments?!? I have not felt hungry very much so I have only had 3-5 glasses of lemonade a day..should i drink more although I am not hungry?
Emma (from the US)

Goldie

Hi everyone;
I’m so glad I discovered this forum! I have been meaning to do the cleanse for a few months now and pretty sure i am mentally ready for it tomorrow. I wannna do it as long as possible. I have 4 month to go from 131 to my usual 117 pounds and my height is 5’4″ and be a size 4 again and fit into my size 27 jeans. Right now, they feel really tight and I hate that.
My question here is: I run everday and really hoping i can do cardio exercise while on this cleanse. What has your experiences been with the MC and going to the gym? Does it accelerate the weight loss? I really enjoy being active and would like to continue it during the cleanse.
Thanks for any suggestions!
