I’ve really been thinking about it, and I’m going to do a cleanse. I appreciated all your feedback on my last post, and I’ve made up my mind.
There are actually several reasons I want to do this. In no particular order, I want to know what it’s like to know exactly what I’ve put in my body, I really want to start eating healthier, and I think cleaning my guts out is a good start, and I figure I’ll be doing some emotional and spiritual cleansing while I’m at it.
16 days. This will most likely be the most rigorous culinary challenge I’ve ever taken on in my life. Here’s how it breaks down:
The Ease-In
Day 1 – Living Foods *fruits and vegetables, no dairy, no meat
Day 2 – juices, soups, and broths
Day 3 – Orange Juice only
The Cleanse
Day4-13 – The lemonade, maple syrup and cayenne concoction
The Ease-Out
Day 14 – Orange Juice only
Day 15 – Juices, soups and broths
Day 16 – Living foods
So, I’m starting on March 1 and finishing on March 16. My goal is to post each of the 16 days, and there’ll be 2 podcasts in there as well. Stay tuned…

So where did you find out, both, about this concoction and how to make it?? Are you going to share that information as well??
good luck. I will be watching to see how you fair.

We’ve done it and it was great. Heads up- on the 4th-7th days of the lemonade, you’ll notice *everything* relates to food somehow.
It’ll clean you out, but you’ll not lose energy or have “hunger rage”.

This is going to make great show material!

Heard about it from a friend who did it a year ago, did a little Googling in “the master cleanse”, and decided to give it a try…

Good luck! I am eager to see how you deal.

Jim might join you. It’s been about a year since he did it. He says he’ll let you know for sure.
