Day 10!
Tummy ache is back for today. I have decided to skip the SWF for today, well, i don't think i need it. And tomorrow too cos i will be going out for a short while.
Good news is I lost another kg today and i feel my overall has gotten smaller, although might be psychological again but I'm happy! Finally i am shrinking. It's doesn't make sense however, I have been living on no food except lemonade for 9 days, can't possibly be i lost not a single lbs? Somebody said my body went into conservation mode faster than others.
Anyway, shooting for 20 days~

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 8, 9
Happy to woke up these 2 days cos i did not have tummy ache. Could it be my body got immunized to the lax tea???
By today i am a little sick of the lemonade. I have a partial sore tongue and an ulcer that when i open my mouth i felt pain. Maybe this might be the reason for loss of appetite and cravings.
Anyway, I ate Bee Hoon, Noodles and Stew Pork in my dream last night but they don't taste nice at all. LOL
Actually i did noticed i lose a kg since like 2 days ago? I felt my breast has gotten smaller. Maybe it's psychological but that's the last thing i want............ T_T

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 7
The unhealthy but really addictive chips in the provision shop. :p
Normal day. It's so nice to sleep nowadays that i had a hard time getting up. I helped my mum prepare dinner tonight. Veggies with mushrooms and Steam Salmon. Smells good but i didn't craves. It's true that all cravings passes out with your elimination the next day.
As usual, nothing special to report, except that i woke up with a slight sore throat, cough and a little cut inside my mouth? Or is it an ulcer? I'm not sure.
But I'm really disappointed with my weigh loss. I'm not getting any............. It's Day 7!

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 5
Is it the weather or one of the symptoms? It's raining for the past few days but I'm feeling kinda cold today.
And my cravings are gone the moment i woke up. My brother was eating his leftover Nachos but i didn't even look at it.
Also, does it seems like time passes so slowly while on the cleanse? It's like time practically stands still. Can't even imagine how is it for the others doing their cleanse while working in the office. I'm lucky to be doing this with the luxury of staying home before my new job starts on April Fool's Day. I'm thinking how to prepare and bring my lemonade to the office, with separate Cayenne Pepper... Oh did i mention i am intending to go beyond 14 days? It's still early to say so but i think i might.
Anyway, it's already Day 5. My mother can't believe i have been going without food for 5 days. She kept asking did i eat anything whenever she calls. My brother sometimes teases me and said i cheated because he sees me licking my lips.
Hey! It's just Maple Syrup... Every single time i pour out the Maple Syrup I'd LOVE to lick the remaining syrup off the spoon it tastes really good and I'm always smiling like a kid doing it. Honestly, I've never tasted Maple Syrup until i started the Master Cleanse. Never knew it's so delicious!
You know i bought those 16 fl oz/473ml per bottle of Maple Syrup, which from my calculations i should be using 180ml/day so a bottle would only last me for 2 days and 4 cups. But weirdly it's midday of Day 5 and i haven even finish a bottle. Did i do my measurements wrongly?
Since i had:
3 and 4 glasses for Day 1 and 2 = 210ml.
6 and 6 glasses for Day 3 and 4 = 360ml.
up to point of typing it's 4 glasses for Day 5 = 120ml.
so 473ml - 210ml - 360ml - 120ml = -217ml (?!!?)
I still have leftover in the bottle. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 4
The pain on my tummy hits like a hammer this morning, but i felt instant relieve after i poo-ed everything out.
At night, cravings for all kinds of unhealthy food struck upon me, not too badly. My brother bought a pack of Nachos chips and eats in front of me. He's so cruel... It smells SO Gooooood!! I buried my face into the chip bag and savor it's fragrance but i didn't eat a single piece. I'm 100% confident that i won't put a single food into my mouth. I don't know where that confidence came from, LOL but it's the cravings.... It come and go. So annoying! Then my brother took the bag away from me and says "don't smell it or you'll eat it." It's kind of a support for me. X(
I'm still not losing weight but i read in some others' cases, one's weight was stagnant for the first 10 days and she only started losing weight rapidly within her 2nd 10 days. Another started dropping 10 pounds within Friday to Monday after being stagnant for i forgot how long. This encouraged me to hang on and not give up.
Another thing was i started my Cleanse on the last day of my period. It might be water retention that affect my weight loss... I hope so.
I think, I'm not sure. Did i experience more energy because i can't seem to sleep early? Instead i watched "Catch Me If You Can" and finally went to sleep at 3.20am. The film was 2 and 2/3 hours long...

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 3
I just read somewhere that says you need to take in about 3 and a half lemons and 140ml of Maple Syrup a day. That makes up to barely 5 glasses if you based on the 140ml of maple syrup as you need 30ml for each glass of lemonade. But if you based on 3 and a half lemons, there are 315ml of juice (i measured there are 3 tablespoons/45ml of juice in half a lemon) which is 10 and a half glasses! I just did the maths while typing this, realising it's confusing. The proportion of lemon juice and maple syrup is suppose to be the same in a glass of lemonade. (2 Tablespoons each) So how's that suppose to be 3 and a half lemon and 140ml of maple syrup for a day?
I'll make sure i have at least 6 glasses of lemonade a day, just to be safe, I'll follow the book's instructions. I've been going everywhere with my phone, keep looking at the time and making notes with it so I'd transfer everything here.
This morning I woke up at 5:45am and felt my tummy aching. That kind that tells you need to go to the loo fairly soon. I hate that feeling!!
Here's a trick i discovered: Use a stronger taste mint toothpaste to brush your teeth in the morning directly BEFORE you do your SWF. I don't know how are you gonna find out which brand of toothpaste has stronger mint taste but, while brushing, use your tongue to "lick" the bubbled toothpaste and let it "soak" for awhile. You'll find the Salt Water taste milder and easier to gulp them down... At least for me.
I've been using Pearl's Drop toothpaste for about 3 months now and it doesn't come with a strong mint, really light. So when i used Darlie, i find it really strong for me.
Anyway, saw my tongue started coating from yesterday. It's yellow/cheezy. hmm... Is it because of the lemonade?? The tongue coating is one of the Detox Symptoms for the cleanse. And i felt really thirsty today. Also, i have not loss a single pound which is worrisome. What if the cleanse does not work for Asians?? I thought so because i assume most of us do not do the S.A.D (Standard American Diet). Or is it because I'm having too little lemonade?? I'm really worried. I have asked in the forum, just have to wait for some experts to reply.
Update: They say I'm drinking too little lemonade. I'll make sure i have enough from today onwards!!

Master Cleanse Diaries - Day 2
My eyes are big and they're looking around from 8:45am onwards. I felt energetic... Flipped around my bed but couldn't fell back asleep. I guess I'm not used to waking up so early. So i went to do my SWF. The quart of salt water is still so much to drink. it's about 950ml...
My brother tasted my salt water and says it sucked. LOL
Anyway, SWF today was pretty intense as compared to yesterday.
Still I don't feel really hungry, but i already had 2 glasses by 3pm.
I realised the longer the Cayenne Pepper sits in the lemonade, the hotter it gets. You know you can actually felt it burning in the tummy. I felt HOTTT........ I think i put in a lot more Cayenne Pepper today. It's not difficult to swallow it down anyway. The after taste is supposed to have a slight burning effect on the throat.
And.... I dreamt of Egg Tarts last night... hahaha
I had cravings tonight too. My mum cooked steak and veggies during dinner time. zzzz... I was already thinking what am i going to eat after I'm done with the cleanse.
By end of day i only had 4 glasses of lemonade. Really weird. I read there are many who couldn't even get through day 1 or 2 but it's a breeze to me. Actually i think it's because I've already prepared myself mentally for about 3 months before i start this cleanse...
