The Master Cleanse

A new year, a new me.  I have decided to attempt the Master Cleanse for the third time.  If you are not familiar with the Master cleanse let me fill you in.  No solid food for a minimum of 10 days (some people have known to go for 30 days).

The last time I did this was back in 2008 so I feel like this is long overdue. A lot of people do the cleanse to lose weight I am doing this to cleanse my mind, body, and soul.  I am finally somewhat on track with no distractions.  After moving, being unemployed, running low on funds, and going through an emotional rollercoaster, I NEED THIS.

The cleanse consists of drinking a home-made Lemonade, salt water, and a Laxative Tea.  You make the lemonade yourself with freshly squeezed organic lemons, cayenne pepper (the spice will help to curb food cravings), and Organic Grade B Maple Syrup.  You can also drink peppermint tea and as much water as you can hold down :)

I am going for 14 days (the last two times I only did 10 days).  Today is day two of my cleanse and so far I am doing okay.  When I woke up this morning I was craving a fruit smoothie, veggie pizza, and a fruit salad. All I need to remember is temptation is easy but will power shows strength.  Stay tuned and wish me luck!
