Well, I gave it all I had.

Eight days of the Master Cleanse is all I could do... perhaps next time I can do an entire 10 day (or more) fast. I learned so much, though - and I feel terrific. I lost 5 pounds, broke my caffeine addiction and realized that I had stopped tasting my food and was eating lots of junk. I probably would have lost more weight, had I not messed up the instructions on how much ADDITIONAL water to drink each day for a more thorough "flush", but now my water intake has increased dramatically. I may substitute one or two meals a day with the lemonade mix, just to ease back into real life. I also made the decision to do without sodas (of any kind), coffees, teas with caffeine, added sugar/sugar laden foods (desserts, pastries - when one bite will do quite well) as well as dairy products - milk, cheeses, butter. I feel very "clear".

Imagine my horror when I got the weekly "Master Cleanse eNewsletter" and along with some helpful hints and handy pointers..... a recommendation for an L. RON HUBBARD book. That will make my life more "clear" and less "toxic".
