On Doing a Master Cleanse

Yes, I completed a 10 day master cleanse. My reasons for doing it included continuing to clear up my skin (after a bout of break-outs in reaction to gluten), trying to control allergies, and going back to healthier eating habits. It was nice to give my digestive system a break. It was great to confirm that I will not die if I don't eat solid foods for more than one day.

I didn't experience any hunger - just cravings; for popcorn in particular. Since doing the Master Cleanse...

1. I continue to drink the lemonade here and there, because it actually isn't bad and because I still have a weakness for French Bread, I need a glass or two afterwards to clear me up. Yes, it's been helping.

2. I didn't eat meet for about a week after the cleanse. Just wanted to keep my body light. It was great and I will continue to take animal protein breaks.

3. I have decided that I will give my digestive system a break (fast) for one day out of the month. It can reduce your risk of heart disease by 39% - that's pretty significant! As a matter of fact, I think tomorrow will be my first day.

Here is some preliminary information about the Master Cleanse.
