First day on Master Cleanser detox

Check this link out: http://www.blackdoctor.org/TheMasterCleanse.pdf

It an excerpt from the book "Master Cleanser" by Stanley Burroughs. Actually, it's 30 pages of the 50 page book, but whatever.

I decided to do this thing to lose weight. Now, I now you're not supposed to say that because it's a 'detoxification of the body' not a diet but who am I kidding??!!!! The detox is an added benefit but I wanna drop them pounds so I can wear a thong (all up in my booty crack) bikini by August.

So for this detox you drink 6-10 cups of a lemonade mixture daily (page 10 of the above link) and that's it. No food, no other liquid (except water) THAT'S IT. I'm light-headed just thinking of it. The book says you go up to 40 days! Without food??!!! I ain't no Gandhi so I'll try it for a modest 10 days - the minimum to reap the benefits of detox. I know what you're thinking: if I'm doing it to lose weight why do I care about the detox aspect? But I figure if I don't benefit from the detox it would be like going to a 2 for 1 sale and refusing the free item.

During the course of the day, hunger struck a few times (slight tummy rumblings) but I drank the lemonade and it vanished. I was not lethargic or weak at all which surprised me. I was out of the house most of the day and as I returned home I started to get worried - evenings are my weakest food craving time. Anytime after 8pm I'm a goner to whatever, crackers, cookies, cereal, chips or leftover dinner is lurking in the kitchen; it's as though my resolve vanishes at that time and I'm left with the will-power and self discipline of a 4 year old. I am happy to report that I came home, drank the laxative tea, took a shower and decided to watch a movie. I wasn't (badly) tempted to eat. At 11pm I had a slight headache.

All in all it wasn't a bad day. I anticipated it to be much harder, more hunger pangs, pounding headaches and far more urges to eat. Although the urge to eat wasn't overwhelming, I thought about food so much today and it seems every commercial and program on tv this evening is about food. Must be my karma for eating for so poorly all these months. Oh well, gone to watch Julie and Julia (yes, I'm a sucker for punishment).

Going to bed.
