Last thoughts about the master cleanse

So I forgot to mention my weight loss... I lost about 10 pounds. A lot of this was water weight. I can tell it in my face and stomach area.

Now some cons to this is, You are not getting the nutrition you need... Your body starts eating the fat, but when that is not enough it goes for your muscle and starts taking the nutrients it needs from there. That's not a good thing.

I know everyone who followed my blog is looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight. But when it comes with the consequence of destroying your body, I'm sorry but its not worth it. Now I'm saying go to the gym and do it the right way like you see everywhere. Who the hell wants to wake up at 5 in the morning and go to the gym? The average person works 50+ hours a week. I for one enjoy my sleep. My job requires me to work long hours. and when I'm not at work, I want to be able to relax. So I can fully understand why not a lot of people want to go to the gym.

So I strongly suggest following my blog. I truly look into the pros and cons of these diets, I test them out. I am completely honest. I understand the hard times.

So please stay tuned.

I want to thank everyone who has viewed my blog. I just reached 1,000 page views. And it may not seem like a lot, but when you live in a small town, 1,000 is like Beyoncé coming to Sioux Falls. It will never happen. So thank you!

New diet???

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone is well and with the 4th of July upon us, we are being safe!

So I have really drawn a blank on my next diet to do. I have heard about the baby food diet. Which is always an option... Or I know a few people who basically eat a tiny cube of cheese a day and call that a diet. Or my personal favorite. The seefood diet. Where they see food, and they eat it (my personal favorite diet and almost everyone I know).

So I have really put a lot of thought into this one... With a busy work life, its hard to really care about what I put in my body. And I have decided that being a vegetarian for a week or two is very do able for me. And not all that pricey. Don't get me wrong, I love my bacon and steak. Almost every type of meat there is. But my god some of that stuff just blocks your arteries faster then I change clothes.  And being a female I can do that pretty damn fast.

So I will be starting this on Friday. The 8th of July, and I pick the 8th because who wants to be on a diet for their birthday? Not me that's for sure.

So I will be keeping everyone posting!

And those of you who prayer for my grandpa. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!
He is doing amazing and has a good future ahead of him.


Stay tuned!

Last day of the master cleanse

So we need to talk about reality for a second.

My grandfather suffered from a heart attack a few nights ago. Main reason I haven't made a post in a few days. He is in for a very long recovery. He has a clogged artery in his heart. Main reason..... He ate like shit. (sorry for the language)..

If that does not make someone want to change the way they eat, then you are looking at your future. And its harsh, mean and the truth. If you continue to eat McDonalds and Burger king every day because its "easy" then you have one bad future ahead of you. And I truly know how mean that is coming off. But I cant feel bad about it. I just need everyone to open their eyes and realize that the easy way in life, can very well be the hardest thing.

The last day of my cleanse on a different note. Actually happy its almost done. I'm ready to have food. Make sure you ease back into solid food. On your first day off, eat and drink low sugar and low carb foods. Let your body ease back into solids. Like you would with a baby. Start with mushy food, then work your way back.

I will continue to blog. As I think up my next "Fad" diet.... Any ideas would be amazing! Or if there is a diet you have heard a lot about and want to try it and your nervous to try it out. Just let me know and I will give it a shot!

And please keep my family in your thoughts. Positive thoughts would be amazing.

Stay Tuned!!!

Day 8: ALMOST DONE

Hello everyone!

So I am on day 8. And I can say it doesn't suck with out laughing.

I had someone ask me if I was able to do this while I am at work. And you sure can! I do not have to use the restroom 24/7, and I'm at the point where I'm not really craving all the junk food like I was when I first started. And I am one person who really likes my food.

I did forget to post the receipt.. makes it a little hard for people who would like to try this master cleanse if you don't have a receipt.

You'll want to get 8 ounces of water. Myself personally I used bottled water. God only knows whats in the tap water. Unless you have a fancy system that filters it for you. (which I don't)

Then its 2 TABLESPOONS of a grade B organic maple syrup. I will warn you, this stuff is pricy. So before you spend 25-30 dollars on this alone, make sure you are dedicated to this!

You'll also need 2 TABLESPOONS of lemon juice. Now I am a little lazy and I didn't want to take the time to hand squeeze lemons. So I went and got organic lemon juice. Its about  6 dollars but when you think about it that's the same you would spend on lemons and probably more. But that is completely up to you.

Then the most important thing to pay attention to. you only need a tenth of a TEASPOON of cayenne pepper. ONLY A TENTH OF A TEASPOON!! I feel like I can not stress that enough. Because if anyone is like me. You will just see a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and use the entire teaspoon. Yeah don't do that. Its the worst thing in the world. So only A TENTH OF A TEASPOON!! Don't do that unless you feel like puking. Its not fun.

Now when I first started, I bought two of everything. Minus the cayenne pepper. One organic thing of that will last you years. The maple syrup has lasted along time. I have had to buy more lemon juice. I can make about 12-15 drinks from one organic lemon juice. I couldn't even tell you how many lemons you would need. But you are more then welcome to try it out.

Now make sure you drink at least 6 drinks. I am been drinking about 6 big ones, so I drink 16 ounces instead just because I get hungry faster.


On a different note. As this diet comes to an end. I will be starting a new one. So if you have any ideas on what diet I should try next, please feel free to tell me!

Also I have noticed that I have visitors from all over the world, thank you!

Thank you everyone who has read my blog and left amazing comments!!

STAY TUNED!!

Master Cleanse, not even sure what day im on

So I do apologize that I haven't posted in a few days. I did not think my blog would ever actually bring peoples attention so I slacked off.

It gets easier. By day 3, your ready to take the world by the horns and do anything. By not eating the carbs, and gluten, and sugar. your body feels amazing. Like you to, could be a Victoria secret model. Now I know that will only happen in my dreams but I can still dream.

So come Thursday I know I will be done. I only have a few days left of this, plus easing back into eating normal food. Which I wish I had planned this better. My 21st birthday is on July 7th and I will be dieting. That's a little rough.

So if your just starting this diet. POWER THROUGH THE HUNGER!!

For the chef who commented on a recent post of mine. You can do it. I can understand that you want to taste the food. So every time you feel like you will cave. Eat ice. Or whenever I wanted to cave, I would start singing. Keep your mouth busy. If it means eating ice or singing.

And if you start to feel hungry, you can have as many of these drinks as you want. For me, I didn't have a hard time drinking away when I realized how much Cayenne pepper I could stand to taste. And through out the day I would either increase it by just a dash or not much at all. Its really up to you and how much you like before you want to barf.

Now that I know people actually read these, I will be posting more and more. Thank you everyone!

Master Cleanse Real day one

So today was the second "first day" of my master cleanse. And let me tell you, it went AMAZING!!!!

I thought today was going to be terrible. I thought today was going to be terrible. But let me tell you, it went so much better then I could have ever expected. I was preparing for the worst.

I have learned that it is okay to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper you put in there. They want you to put a tenth of a teaspoon in it. Which isn't a lot to begin with. But for some people (like myself) I cant handle that much. Makes me puke it all up. So I add a little less, and I can handle drinking It just fine.

Ive learned through out the day, that I need to make two drinks when I get hungry or I am tempted to eat. So instead of making two 8 ounce drinks I just make one 16 ounce one. Which I don't really know if that's okay. But it works for me. I drank about four 16 ounce ones today. It was hard to get use to it t first. But its not so bad. You really don't get tempted to eat.

I came home today, and I even made pizza rolls. Getting ready to eat them. and I realized two things. I wasn't even hungry and I threw it away. I made a drink instead and didn't even think twice about the pizza rolls. It was probably the best thing all day.

The issues I face. For the longest time, I drank and ate nothing but crap. Mass amounts of caffeine in my body, sugar and junk. So the first real day, where I don't have all that crap in my body. I feel great. But I also feel like shit. I am jittery. I looked it up earlier to see the side effects from not having any caffeine, and its about the same as coming off a semi hard drug. Like Hydrocodone's or Opiates.

I cant complain that all the junk is getting out of my body. Its actually nice for a change. Knowing that my once healthy body, turned to junk, is having a hard detox. Right now, I fell like crap. But at the end of the day. I know that this will be the best thing that has ever happen to me. Having this blog.

I always had a hard time finding some reason to lose weight. It should've been for me right? I always find some excuse to just give up. And having this blog, where maybe a lot of people don't read it. But a handful of people do. And maybe you guys read it out of boredom, I don't even know. But it feels like reason enough to actually go through with this. So the few people who are actually reading this out of boredom or actually reading it for information. Thank you.

So off I go to drink my laxative tea, the new season of Orange is the new Black and bedtime.

Goodnight everyone.

And please, if you feel the need to leave a comment. GO FOR IT!!!! I will answer and everything if its there. Thank you again!

Master Cleanse day one

So as I may have mentioned that today was the day I was starting my 10 day cleanse......

I failed. Miserably.

I shouldn't say miserably. I made it until 4 pm. 4:15 to be exact. It wasn't until I went to work that every single temptation was thrown in my face. And as much as I wanted to cave at first, I didn't. And then it was my "dinner" break and I caved. I didn't have a terrible meal at all. I had a salad and cottage cheese. That's not terrible.

People need to understand that food itself is addicting. And to just give it up, its pretty hard.

So tomorrow I will be starting fresh. I know what to expect now. It sucks.

So the few drinks I did have, I'm not going to sugar coat it. It sucks. Imagine the worst shot of alcohol you've ever had. Now imagine taking that shot multiple times  day. Its nasty. It wouldn't be so bad if the Cayenne pepper wasn't the worst taste in the world. The drink does go down better after a few times. I mean its not amazing by any means. But its not terrible.

And the worst part is, the taste stays in your mouth forever. You cant drink anything else after the drink besides water, which water is never a great chaser. Myself personally, I cheated and used a sucker. WRONG!!

Another thing. I cant drink the salt water flush. I end up barfing it up. So I had to switch to black coffee. Coffee will help with a laxative. It will probably help way more then the salt water flush ever would.

So tomorrow is a new day. A new day to start fresh. Sticking strictly to the diet and nothing but the diet.

Wish me luck! Until tomorrow!
