Drugs/alcohol?
Does having done recreational drug use effected anyone?
I am about to start my cleanse on Monday and am afraid when the toxins release, I may get high again.....which i DO NOT WANT!!
Also, will my detox reactions be severe because of prior drug use?
Any help would be great!

Re: Some People Need to Take it Easy
Well, if it's still in your system you want it out. Not sure what will occur when it's sucked out of your fat and moved into your blood stream for elimination. You may want to start this on your days off.

Day 1 and feeling bad
It has been a pretty rough first day. I have a bad headache and feel somewhat nauseous. I am trying to finish my fourth glass of lemonade before bed.
I have taken a lot of ephedra/caffeine diet "supplements" over the years...stacker 2 etc. I can't help but think that may have something to do with how I feel now even though I'm not taking them currently. Before I began the cleanse I was drinking 2 cups of coffee a day...so certainly expected a degree a caffeine withdraw but this is a lot.
Good thing I didn't have to go to work today. Hope some relief is insight.

Re: Some People Need to Take it Easy
vtjen: From where you're sitting right now it's going to be hard to believe that this will pass but it will. *hug* You just have to get through Day 3. Detox can be pretty ugly. However if you follow the 2009 thread you'll see the same thing posted from hundreds of other cleansers. They'll tell you to tough it out.
Take a hot epsom salt bath. It's very soothing.

Re: Some People Need to Take it Easy
I am 25 and I have PCOS. I am wondering if anyone with PCOS had tried doing this and what were the results. I am on Day 9 of the cleanse and although I have BM every morning and have been exercising from 2 to 4 hrs everyday, I have not lost weight or inches. I know my condition makes it harder to lose weight but this just makes no sense. Please help!!!  |

Re: Some People Need to Take it Easy
After reading many, many threads, it seems that I am in the category of those that need to take it easy. I wanted to detox. I started at 200 lbs, lost 5 lbs in 3 days, then stopped losing weight. I felt terrible through Day 7, had lots of aches in my back and hips, headaches every day all day. I was drinking 6 glasses of lemonade and some (not enough) water. I finally cheated on Day 7 because I couldn't take it any longer. I continued with the cleanse, though. I am just starting Day 8 (but I know that I am really back to Days 1-3 because of the cheating).
After all the reading, I see that maybe all of this is because I am more toxic than I thought and the cleanse will take longer.
My question is this: would it make sense to stay on the lemonade but add raw foods to my diet? Without actually leaving the idea of the cleanse, can I continue to drink the lemonade as part of my diet, eat raw foods to gently detox, drink the tea and swf? Would this change my ability to do a full master cleanse this summer? I know I will also need to add lots of water to this as well.
So, can I continue the cleanse with added raw food for 3 months and then start a full cleanse?

Re: Some People Need to Take it Easy
Swips: Although it "appears" to you that you stopped losing weight, you are probably losing "inches". It's weird but it happens. The fat cells actually release the fat (weight loss) and then collapse (inches loss) so this is good. Don't be so concerned about the scale. Your body is getting rid of toxins and that's really whats going to make you look and feel much better. It just takes time and the weight WILL come off.
Be sure to go for at least 10 days by following the cleanse to the T. If you opt to use lemonade for a modified diet go ahead and do so but adding food to the cleanse ends it.
You should only do the cleanse 4x a year.
I hope this helps.
