after eating only this for the last 10 days!
A week ago Tuesday I saw my neighbor out front and she had just started The Master Cleanse Diet and I told her that I was pondering what diet I was going to start and she told me I should give this a try... so without any mental preparation, I borrowed her book and started reading and drinking away. It is a cleansing diet that you do for 10 or more days... It is suppose to clean out your colon and rid your body of toxins.
All you drink is 8 oz water, 2 tbs pure maple syrup, 2 tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1/10 tsp of cayenne pepper. You can have as many of those a day as you need, at least 8. And you take a laxative or drink a salt water mixture to make you go to the bathroom... It was probably one of the hardest things I have ever done! It was very hard mentally! I learned a lot about myself through the process... I learned that I eat mostly because i am bored or need something to do with my hands, I can live on a lot less than I normally eat, I have more will power than I thought, I craved oatmeal of all things and I can do hard things!
So, was it worth it?? yes. Was I hungry?? Only when my family was cooking meals. They had the nerve to make bacon like 4 times! that was hard! I miss food and I am excited to start eating again. I have to ease into it with juice and soups...
Now I just have to keep it off and get 40 more pounds off!! It should be a fun year! haha...
