Ok - so the fast only lasted 4 days for me. I lost 12lbs and could easily have kept going accept for the fact that I had an allergic reaction to Senna which was in the herbal tea that I was drinking during the Master Cleanse fast that I was doing. The fast was very difficult but definitely worth it if you can keep from being allergic to the one thing you get to have while fasting. So now I am 15lbs lighter and I am as itchy as hell. I hate this feeling. I would rather be fat as hell than itchy as hell. It is supposedly going away little by little but I am not feeling any better really. Wish me luck!! I am excited about having lost 15lbs so far. I have been going to the gym on a daily basis doing 30 minutes on the bike. In the beginning or middle of February I plan to start lifting weights as well which I expect will increase the fat loss that I have happening. I am looking forward to that. I plan to win the contest at my work and use the money to take a trip at the end of April.

The Master Cleanser

Ok - so I am doing this fast called "The Master Cleanser" and I am wondering whether or not I can make it through this thing or not. The purpose is to eliminate toxins, mucous and build up in my body. In the end of it all I expect that I will have lost some weight, lost a lot of mucous and lost a lot of toxic crap. I expect that when it is finished I will have a bit of a hard time if I attempt to go back to my previous diet. I hope to come off of this with a renewed set of taste buds and a renewed stomach. I am to the point now where I am sick of food if that makes any sense. I am sick of eating all the crap I eat and I hate cooking so I'm hoping to adjust my food preferences by making myself sick if I eat the crap I've been eating. I want to come out of this eating healthier even if it means I am forced to do so via being sick when I eat the crap I have been eating for the last 10 years. I am doing this fast with my girlfriend and she started it one day ahead of me. I have not weighed myself since beginning the process but at the beginning I weighed 250lbs luckily I proportion well but I am still an angry fat ass in need of remediation. My girlfriend has lost 5lbs after completing 2 full days of the fast so I hope that by Wednesday I have lost at least that. I am trying to win a weight loss competition at my job where the participants are putting in $5 weekly and the winner takes the whole pot. So hopefully I can at least make the switch from McDonald's to Lettuce Surprise You as far as my eating out regimine goes. Wish me luck.

Day 1 Symptoms:

Frequent defication the first day with stomach cramps immediately before each need to release toxins
Frequent urination
Slight headache that is more in the background and very tolerable
Extremely small twinges of hunger

Day 2 Symptoms:

Defication less frequent but still more often than before the fast and still with stomach cramps immediately before the need to release toxins
Frequent urination
Slight headache that is still quite tolerable
Frequent twinges of hunger that are difficult to resist
Slight Fatigue

Have I cheated on the fast so far? Yes - I have not done the brackish water drink as of yet because I have not gotten up early enough to be able to complete the process before going to work. Also, I have decided that because I am hypoglycemic and prone to blood sugar problems I will take spirulina pills in the evenings in order to reduce headaches and blood sugar fluctuations as it has a sufficient amount of protein with which to survive on for 10 days. I have discovered that there are more extreme hunger twinges throughout the day when I am more active and I am considering spreading the spirulina out in doses throughout the day as opposed to having them all at night. I will try to check in again on Sunday if I am not too sick to show up at the coffee shop to connect to the internet.
