I’m doing the master cleanse right now. All I do is drink lemonade made from maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Today is my 4th day (of 10) and I think I’m writing this more to solidify my resolve to finish all ten days more than because I really think anyone cares. The dream last night was really surreal because I was really hungry (although I’m not as hungry as one might expect after forgoing food for 4 days.) so I took three bites of the cheeseburger and then panicked, because (1) eating a cheeseburger after fasting for 4 days is a sure fire way to back your system up if you know what I mean…if you don’t e-mail me I’ll give you more details. (2) The main reason I’m doing this is to cleanse my system and make better choices and McDonalds unfortunately isn’t on my list of better choices. (3) I haven’t finished cleansing yet so I was upset that I took three bites before I even wrestled with the idea. In the dream I actually threw up the three bites but that’s probably more information than you wanted to know. But hey, you didn’t have to read this. The night before I had a dream I ate a fun size snickers bar, and I swallowed it. Tonight maybe I’ll dream about wanting to eat something and not actually eating it.
So here are a few thoughts about the master cleanse…
It is truly amazing how much more energy I have while not eating than when I am eating. Really makes me think that the stuff I put in my body is making me tired, all those preservatives, additives, artificial things and whatnot.
The salt water flush is fascinating. I use saline in my eyes for my contacts, to clean out my nose and now to flush out my intestines. Mind you it’s about the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted and the results are not very pleasant, but the whole process just fascinates me.
The hardest part of fasting is lunch time and dinner time. It’s amazing how my life is scheduled around meals. It’s part of my routine and breaks up my day.
It’s not as hard as you think. If you’ve ever wanted to do a cleanse or fast, do it.
