Lemonade Diet Restart
A quick note on my 10-day master cleanse diet; anticipated dates: 11/19/15 ~ 11/29/15
Day 1 (11/19/2015) - Full of confidence, thinking I can survive the whole session easily.
Day 2 (11/20/2015) - Weight: 142.5lb Pooping like bombing in the morning, then just lemonade ; feeling hungry now, it’s only 4pm.Cheated with Beef Stock, yummy! Unlike day 1, which felt like nothing….
Day 3 (11/21/2015) - Craving food like crazy already! I’ve been looking at recipes online, reserve cook books from the library, counting on the days remaining on this diet.
Day 4 (11/22/2015) Weight: 140.5lb Better feelings from food craving, still want to eat.
Day 5 (11/23/2015) Weight: 138.6lb After salty water, I still go to bathroom very frequently! I still can't believe this; I haven't eat any solid food for at least 3 days straight! What I dropped in the toilet is definitely more than what I had on the 2nd day of cheating -beef cubes. A bit dizzy in the morning while doing the bar method before take anything.
Day 6 (11/24/15) Exhausted from fasting and working at the same time. When I was working at an elementary school, a student’s warmed up frozen food lunch speghatti and ketch up with cheese smells D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!! Food was not the only thing on my mind but definitely something I can’t take my eyes off. I couldn’t weight myself in the morning. It’s only 7pm but I am ready to go sleep.
Day 7 (11/25/15) Weight: 136.5lb Still pooping from salt water flush; that is amazing since I didn’t have any solid food for 5 days straight, and for 7 days I only had lemonade. How much waste can our body store? Additionally, I’ve been seriously “reading” cookbooks, thinking about how to transform into paleo from traditional Chinese cooking. If not for the weight scale I see, I will not be able to survive this diet. I read deeper and more about master cleanse, decided to take laxative tea before bed, and realized cheating is an absolute no no. Considering go on for longer but my social life wouldn’t allow me to do so.
Day 8 (11/26/15) Weight: 137lb Small weight gained, most likely to be the water I drink last night. I realized I didn’t have enough water in my first 5 days of master cleanse. The salt water flush doesn’t seem to stop soon enough, so much toxin in my body; I guess laxative tea last night definitely helped. Considering which diet to follow after this, maybe Beyoncé’s 21-day vegan diet.
Day 9 (11/27/15) Weight: 137.5 lb Laxative Tea last night really works, I went straight to bathroom before salt water flush. Somehow salt water gives me some headache, I guess I finally am doing this master cleanse correctly. Gained weight, but I can live with it. Finally, I am dropping water instead of solid caca. Feeling extremely dehydrated. Unfortunately, I had to stop at Day 9 because my friend brought leftover thanksgiving meal for the good. It was very good experience. I look forward to the next cleanse.
I feel really detoxed, considering I started in the middle of the season changing when I was really sick. It really helped mentally and physically.
