Weight Loss

Good morning everyone! Well I successfully woke up early, shortly after 6. Actually the lax tea that I drank last night woke me up. After my first round on the throne from the tea, I took my positive attitude towards salt water and headed for the kitchen for the all so delicious tonic. I tried something different today. I heated 2 c. of my purified water in two seperate glasses and added 1 tsp. salt to each. Then in my favorite glass, I put two cups of nice cold purified water, no salt. I headed back over to the throne area and drank a big gulp of salt water and then quickly grabbed the pure, so I didn't have a long time to dwell on the salt. I alternated drinks of salt and pure and it went well. The water(s) were gone in less than 5 minutes. So def the way to do it and it didn't bother near as bad. Now I am very full of water, full feeling accompanied with a bit of nauseousness because I am so full. Putting 4 cups/1 qt of water into you is alot and I am not used to having such a full stomach. I wonder if my stomach has shrank any since I have gone raw, my appetite has....? My weight has dropped back down to 204, which is a relief. But I know I am retaining water, with all that I am putting into me. I also finally found that I read the peppermint tea if I develop any cramping. So at least I have it on hand when and if I get to that point. I see alot of bile and other crud coming out, I am so surprised of how much we stockpile. What is our bodies doing with all this crap, saving it for emergencies? An emergency of what kind? --I know..when there is no bathroom near by that's when we have to go. Otherwise this morning I am feeling fine, still no hunger, even though many of you think that I should be starving after more than 24 hours without food. I think with how much water and lemonade you take in, there is no room for food. The posts that I have read who have eaten while on this cleanse got very very sick and or nauseous and they just wanted to die. Well I def don't want to feel that way. I am also waiting for the salt water to pass through me. It took at least 40 min yesterday, so maybe the same today.  In about 10 min that mark will come. Hopefully I have the bathroom to myself! I have never been so interested in going or looking at it. I read last night that one gal had a few creepy crawlies come out--parasites. Yuck! But nonetheless, I am anxious to see if I have any..as much as I don't want to. Have a great day! 

I wish you well on your journey.....continue to keep us informed on how you are surviving.

What are you guys talking about!!

No food, just water with salt to purify your system??

As far as I can see, there is absolutely no need to stockpile, since I cannot think of a single poo emergency. *gigglesnort*

Great to see you're feeling good and upbeat. :)

Ok - if you think there's no such thing as a poop emergency - you've never had kids!

Ok, so that's more about expulsion than storage, but still...

:)

ROFL!! okay-so I guess there are some poo emergencies.

we've not had poo emergencies of the storage kind-unless you count constipation. XD

HAHAHAHA! Yea, I can buy that one, I have three kids and many poo emergencies!

Well all, I am hungry. And on top of that I am craving what the raw's call SAD stuff (Standard American Diet)! Yuck! I know its just detox, getting rid of the toxins in my system because I know my body really doesn't want a cheeseburger, chkn enchiladas, chinese..etc. I haven't eaten that stuff in a while now and I can't imagine that my body is saying EAT fried, greasy, fattening stuff that has absolutely no nutrional value. So I am drinking the peppermint tea that is recommended. I have also cut back on the lemonade mix, it was just so much! That was somewhat filling, so guess I need to increase the water intake. I will be interested what comes out tomorrow, it seems I am eliminating mostly bile. That means I have some massive junk stuck to the sides of my colon, intestines or I am already clean. I am guessing that its the first, afterall, this is only the end of day 2. Many have talked about a coating on the tongue accompained with bad breath from the detox. I know I haven't hit that yet, no coating and hub says breath is fine. From what I understand day 3 is the toughest, so wish me luck! On the path of detox and cleansing! Lynette

ok you guys, check this out. I am no longer craving meat or cheese because on the other forum this was posted. I am interested in your own responses.

Just out of curiosity what has your Physician said about doing the Master Cleanse?

he is fine with it and thinks its great that i have gotten so health conscious. he is more concerned on breaking it because THAT is actually the toughest part. It isnt uncommon for many people to just rush into food after a fast and you just cant do that. so he wants me to call in/check in with him when i start breaking it. i think he means along the lines of me having problems with it. i have an appt with him mid april.

Great job so far :) glad to hear it's going well.  I plan on doing this towards the end of April when I have a six day stretch off, either that or getting my wisdom teeth finally taken care of.... hmmm gee both sound kind of rough lol ...

Way to go! Stay healthy!

Thanks christin! I don't envy you on your teeth issue...yuck! On the path of detox and ultimate health--Lynette
