lisa did you have this?

OK, this is natural. Urination is the removal of toxins from the kidneys. Bowel movements are the removal of waste from the body to include unused food products, undigestable fiber and blood cells. (Yes, we make new blood cells and toss old ones constantly. The deal blood cells cause the general mud color of stools.) When you aren't consuming any foods or fiber, your bowels have very little to pass. Obviously some liquid is necessary to create stools, thus you're left with the liquid. The color of it comes from the flushing of your bowels (yes, stuff sticks to the walls of our bowels but is flushed with this cleansing program.) That's why you get the wee

Many things that we consume regularly add to the hormonal fluctuations that cause severe menstrual cramps. The fact that you haven't been consuming anything means that your body isn't dealing with extra hormone levels. I actually had the same problem with sever cramps when I was much heavier (I weighed 265). Once I lost weight and got to a lower bodyfat level, I didn't have cramps at all!

As for that tongue...Get your toothbrush out and brush that baby!

Hang in there!

Hey everyone...Quick question...can we substitute the pure maple syrup for something that is not sooo expensive...... maybe, a Walmart brand or something? Also, the laxative...is it necessary if you do the sea salt?

We might need Crimsonbride to check the book for us on this one.
Personally speaking, the salt water is a must. When I did the fast the first time, I didn't use any sweetener in my water. (I'm particularly sensitive to simple sugars like maple syrup & honey.) I just went with water & lemon juice and still lost a load of weight and felt great.

I've read a few reports where they stated that the nutrients from the syrup were negligible and one could get the same results using honey or a non-calorie sweetener.

hey babe, diabetics can use molases, other than that the book states that natural syrup should be used. natural tree syrup does not contain any artificial sugar. the presence of glucose is derived 100% from natural palm maple syrup, which also contains the natural trace elements that are needed for organic assimilation........DONT USE A WALMART BRAND.
laxatives.. you MUST have a laxative tea every night followed by the salt water the next morning on an empty stomach. if you cannot do the salt water drink a cup of laxative tea instead.

Thanks for the ruling on the syrup, Marcia.
Don't sweat the nuts. It happens. No sense beating yourself up about it.

I need to lose about 10 lbs before next Saturday. Will this do it?? Does it taste so bad?

Hello all! I am just starting the master clean today, but I find the lemon drink mix to be disgusting! I can barely drink it! Does anyone else have this problem?
