I was worried about doing a high carb diet on the P90X which in Phase 3 requires you to  go to a 60% carbs, 20% protein and 20% fat. It is easy to find carbs to eat, walk into any convenient store and wall to wall carbs swarm around you.  These are not going to be the carbs you want to eat as they are quick burning and cause your insulin sugar levels in your body … Read entire article »

While I was on the Master Cleanse I would look into the woods while driving and wonder what I would have done if I was hungry. This got me looking into something called the Caveman diet. The concept behind this diet is that at one time we would only eat things we would hunt and gather. We learned that certain things were toxic for our body and would make us feel ill. Years later people … Read entire article »

I am by no means an expert on the Master Cleanse. I have only done it once now. The thing I love about twitter is it connects you with people you would not have ever really been able to connect with before. If you are looking for help or have general questions about the Master Cleanse you can politely ask the following people on twitter. @aspaphoto @fittertwit @akgirlnextdoor … Read entire article »

I made it through the 10 days and now on Day 11. Day 10 had a bit of back pain again from my kidney’s working over time. I applied a hot water bottle to it and the pain subsided away. For those that have never done the Master Cleanse here is why you should. It clears out toxins from your body. Yes your body builds up toxins from our enviroment and what we eat so you have … Read entire article »

Day 9 was relatively the same as the previous 8. I started noticing a lower back in my kidney area. This is common on the Master Cleanse and I recall seeing several others complain about the same thing on twitter. I checked in with a few others who have done the Master Cleanse many times and they said there is nothing to worry about. The pain is caused by your kidneys working on flushing the toxins from … Read entire article »

Day 8 went by pretty quick and only 2 days left to go. Unlike other days I decided to increase the number of drinks from 6 to 10. I was worried about some of the dizziness and headaches I felt from the previous days. The extra calories made the day go by easy, no hunger, no cravings, no dizziness and no headaches at all. I have not been doing my workout this week and I kind … Read entire article »

Everyone that asks me about what is in the Master Cleanse mix and I tell them they always make a scrunched up yuck face when they hear Lemon Juice, Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper. For those that have not tasted it the mixture tastes like lemonade with a sprinkle of spice on the top. So for those wondering as I was why these products mixed together? This brings us to the science portion of what these various … Read entire article »

Finally on day 6 I started to feel some of the things people were telling me I should feel. The tea finally kicked in to full gear. I also had very strong urges to eat food as the smell of my kids food wafted by me. I also had a few times when I felt a bit dizzy. I drank more Master Cleanse lemonade and I was fine after just taking it easy. Just before feeling … Read entire article »

The half way point came and went pretty quick. 5 days in and only 5 days left to go. I was starting to worry that the tea wasn’t working so I brewed and drank 2 large pots of the tea. Finally the tea worked for me after a few days of it not working. Energy levels have been good. I have not been working out because I have been busy. I could have worked out though … Read entire article »
