So today starts the master cleanse detox fast. I’m really hoping to cleanse my body, reset my mind, and let’s be honest lose a few pounds. Last night I drank my smooth move senna tea and this morning I got up and mixed up my lemonade for the day. Then I did the most torturous part of the cleanse; the dreaded salt water flush. I do it a little differently than directed because I can’t drink 16 oz of warm sea salt water without throwing up. I do a teaspoon of salt in a double shot of water and chase with a cup of water, repeat, and then you’ve got your 2 tsp salt and 16 oz water down. I’ll try to post updates daily to let you know how I’m doing and what effects I’m noticing. The goal is to make it ten days and then if I feel the need to continue I’ll take it one day at a time for up to fifteen days. This is not something I would recommend to everyone. It is very hard on you physically, mentally, and even to an extent emotionally. I have done this in the past but usually as a way to try to drop weight very quickly, never because I needed to. I’m really hoping this time it will have lasting effects beyond just a quick way to lose a little weight.
