Birthday Celebration vs. Master Cleanse

[Lynette]

I have a very important question. I started the cleanse a couple days ago. My 40th birthday is on the 22nd, which is next Thursday. It's a tradition that my mom and I go to this great restaurant and have a really rocking salad. I'm looking forward to it. The thing is that I really don't want to go completely off the cleanse when 10 days come around, but I want to celebrate the big 4 0 with my mom. I also don't want to get sick from eating a salad. I'll be eating raw.

I'm thinking I'll drink some veggie broth and/or OJ the day before. Enjoy my birthday salad and then go back on the cleanse the day after.

I'd appreciate any suggestions from the Lemonheads!!!

I'm not quite a lemonhead yet, but I think that you'll have to start over at day one once you eat something - it resets your system. If I were you, I would either postpone the birthday salad until your cleanse is over or go off the cleanse and restart another day.

Happy birthday to you!
