I decided to try out this Master Cleanse business, where you only drink a lemonade type mixture for a minimum of ten days. The mixture is made of : 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp of pure maple syrup, and 1/10 tsp of cayenne pepper mixed in 1 cup of water.
Day 1: Very difficult for me not to think of eating. I drank the required 6 glassed that day. The hardest thing for me i'd say is that I work in the food service industry. So I smelled all the things I desired and saw so many different foods that occasionally my mouth even watered. Weird enough, I even craved bacon for the first time in over a year (I don't eat pork). Once I got home everything felt much better though, and knowing I had defeated my cravings made me feel pretty good about myself. I would definitely say that riding my bike to and from work on the first day of fasting may not have been the best decision... lol .. I was very tired after work. I also decided to do the Salt Water Flush that evening... I am not a person who likes much salt with things, I never put it on my food or anything. So drinking 1 liter of salt water was very hard for me to keep in. But it definitely cleaned out my system, that is for sure!
Day 2: I decided to head to school without my bicycle this day. I drank all my juice and water throughout the day as required. The only time I really had a bad craving to eat food was when my boyfriend ate Wendy's food near me.. The smell.. Wow my sense of smell was heightened that is for sure. The first and second day were pretty intense for my sense of smell. I went dancing that evening, which felt pretty good :) Lastly, during my sleep I dreamed about food, lots of it too, and remembering it so vividly made me forget whether or not I had actually eaten :P haha
Day 3: Well the day is not over yet, but this early half has been quite simple. I don't desire food so much, I know my stomach is feeling hungry though. I think my brain is also starting to decipher the good food and the bad food to desire in my eating habits... At this point in time I just want to taste fruit, and rice.. haha.. But I am sure that is different for everyone.
