So after much long deliberation and little bit of resistence on my side. We have decided to take a plunge into doing the infamous mentally challenging detox programme called The Master Cleanse.
I have done it 3 times before. The first two times were a huge success. The last attempt, was an attempt at best. I barely lasted four days!
The mental challenge is due to the fact that one literally has no solid food for at least 10 days. The only form of energy comes solely from the lemonade mix. This mix is compiled of fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. This lemonade mix is delicious compared to the other rituals that go along side by side with this detox programme.
The first 4 days are the most challenging. As one experiences food withdrawal symptoms. Such as the increased acute smelling capability. The art of smelling every sublime and delish aroma even if it's a mile away!
Unlike the 3 times times I have done the cleanse, this time around I have decided to ease into the Master cleanse. This way I have a better chance of following through as i am steadily preparing my mind to the idea of a liquid only diet.
Today i will spend all day on a liquid diet of water, tea, orange juice and home made juice. The home made juice is a mix of apples, cucumber, celery and mint leaves.
The funny thing is since my husband and I began the easing in session on Monday, I have gone off food a little. My mind has decided to limit my intake of food. It's interesting how our subconscious minds work.
I shall be keeping you in the loop with the development o the upcoming days, the highs, lows and the not so good moments. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to go ahead and enter it below?
