Day 3 of MC

Hello friends. It is day 3 of the Master Cleanse and I am getting sick. This morning I woke up with a sore throat, bad headache and slightly nauseous. I called in sick today. It's 12 pm now and I am feeling a lot better. I have just been laying in bed and drinking my juice all morning. When I finally felt good enough to get up I made some Smooth Move. There is still stuff coming out by the way. Ew.

My husband asked me to stop this cleanse today. He doesn't like when I get sick and he knows that normally when I feel like this I start passing out and throwing up. He worries about me when I am at home alone because we have no friends here so he doesn't want anything to happen to me. He's so sweet. So I am starting the Ease Out process this afternoon. I could go until day 10 though! It is true what they say, the first two days are hardest. I am not even hungry today, which is weird for me because I LOVE eating.

My husband couldn't find any organic orange juice so the best he found was Simply Orange. I am mixing it half with water. They say that if you drink too much and don't water it down you will get a headache. I am still drinking my lemon mixture as well as my Smooth Move morning and night. Tomorrow is Orange Juice, Lemon Juice and Vegetable Broth only. Just so that you all know, aside from feeling sick, my body feels great!

  2. What does it mean to say your body feels great besides being sick? That doesn't make sense!

    Thanks for sharing your story, Carissa - I look forward to seeing some good eats again soon!

  3. Vegan Tickles- Thank you :) You are sweet

    Jess- Haha, it's hard to explain. My body feels clean inside. It feels less toxic...if that explains it at all.

    Shen- Haha, I think it was invented in the 70's. My mom said that juicing for fasts and detoxes was very popular back then!

  7. Even if you didn't make it to day 10, I'm sure you've gotten rid of a lot of toxins. Good job!

    Hope your sick day turns into a feeling good day! I know what you mean about feeling good in a "cleaned-out" sort of way.
