I ran across your site looking for blogs about people's first few days on the master cleanse. Made it only 5 days a few years ago when i tried it and then had to go to a funeral, and broke it. ugh. Anyway, never had anything amazing happen with the saltwater flush, but hopefully will this time around. Haha. Jenkem. I had to look it up. Oh my god, that Jenkem comment has me laughing my ass off!

It's about health, it's about the environment, it's about the fact that i wouldn't actually kill the animals myself, but mostly, it's about the power of education in changing your behaviors. I believe it is a sign of one of the highest forms of intelligence to be able to routinely seek information, process it, break bad habits, and incorporate good habits. How simple does that sound? But if you measure humanity against that yardstick, you'll probably find that you don't know very many adults at all. Yeah i definitely stopped eating very much meat (red meat entirely.)

Not saying the fast is a diet, I mean more the diet you have taken for the last 6 months. I don't really care what you call it now, a diet or fast all the same to me, you are not really eating anything either way. Keep it up man, you can break 10 days... then maybe 15, or 20 for good measure :P Yo. Not saying the fast is a diet, I mean more the diet you have taken for the last 6 months.

My BMI still suggests that i am "overweight", but meh. I guess you'll just have to trust me that the thought of "crash diets" to lose weight is absolute anathema to me. The juice is basically "food in liquid form", if you look into the ingredients, so perhaps it isn't fair to call this a fast as all of the nutrients are there. Still, i will be very proud if i can make it 10 days without solid food (and it has certainly been a challenge thus far!) I'm glad you like the coverage, i have been skeptical as to whether this is a stupid idea to attach my online persona to. Thanks for the validation, i'll keep it up. Off to write up Day 4, now!

"toxins," etc etc. just a thought. i admit though, i am glued to your coverage. putting the arguments involving hard science aside (kidneys, schmidneys!), i think that people may judge people on this “cleanse” and a lot of other cleanses because they’re diets but people insist on calling them something else, and insist they’re not doing it to lose weight. “toxins,” etc etc. just a thought. i admit though, i am glued to your coverage.

No, the weight loss isn't anything to be excited about, i'm only noting it in my posts for posterity and for the curious. In terms of the overall healthiness, there are certainly risks, but after doing exhaustive research, i believe i am prepared for it. Yeah, this thing's pretty serious. I'm doing it as a challenge to myself in hopes of getting some new perspectives. Not everyone can say that they've gone 10 days without food. In 6 more days, we'll see if i can! It’s a fast, not a diet!

I am really suprised about the whole diet thing, and with the weight loss. Looking like college days again huh! Only thing is, I am curious about amount of weight loss over time, and whether it is healthy. Not sure about the pace, just watching the numbers here to find out. Anyways, amazing that you can give up the red meat, as it does taste so good! BUT, I am actually very impressed that you have such conviction to this diet(drinking salt water, lemon juice, syrup, pepper... is serious!). It is good to see things going so well. Later man. Yo.
