Understanding the Difficulties of the Master Cleanse

By Linda Riley

To better prepare you on the master cleanse diet, it is advisable to know how a typical day of following the master cleanse diet will feel like. In the diet, you can choose to have a serving at a time or if you feel that it is troublesome, you can prepare the master cleanse diet all at one go. It is recommended that you start the day with a laxative. Some laxative you can try include psyllium husk, laxative tea or sea salt. Laxative are more effective when you have it with an empty stomach.

If you find that your serving of master cleanse too bland, you can add decaffeinated herbal tea. To control your hunger, you can also try adding hoodia though it is an optional ingredient. Remember to drink lots of water as you will be losing water during the diet. A guideline will be to alternate between a glass of water and the master cleanse. The recommended amount of water to drink will be according to your body weight. Therefore, if you are 150 pounds, you should try to drink 150 ounces of fresh filtered water.

After you have taken the first glass of master cleanse, you can take the wheat grass for the protein supplement. The recommended dosage is 5 grams and you can break up the wheat grass intake into two doses. Throughout the day continue drinking the lemonade and water. If you get bored drinking lemonade the whole day, remember you can flavor it with herbal tea to give it a different taste.

Remember to take another laxative just before you go to bed. As mentioned earlier, you can choose between psyllium husk, laxative tea or sea salt. Make yourself busy so that you will not be distracted about diverting your concentration on fulfilling the master cleanse diet. You may find it an arduous task trying to adjust to the new diet but once your body get used to it, you will find that it is easy to follow through the whole program.

Before you embark on the master cleanse program, mentally prepared yourself for 3 days. This is to ensure a smooth transition from your daily routine to the master cleanse diet. Believe in yourself and you will have no problem going through the whole program. - 16492
