I did the Master Cleanse... And I'm still Alive!

In my office, one of our co-workers announced that he was doing the Master Cleanse. If you don't know what that is, let me tell you.

It's the lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper mix in which you drink all day. Well, not all day just 60oz of it; you also have to drink 60oz of water for 10 days. The cleanse is suppose to clear your body of toxins, give you energy and help you lose weight.


I thought it was crazy, however, I was curious if it really worked. After he finished it, he dared me to try it. Being a thrill seeker and lunatic, I thought "why not".


So I jumped into the Master Cleanse hoping for the best. The first 3 days, I was ready to blow up L.A. I was truly fighting with my cravings and hating anyone with food in their hands. But in the 6th day, my energy level changed and my cravings weaken. I had more than enough energy for my work outs and felt a lot lighter from the inside. I think the big realization was the weight loss, I loss a lot of weight.

Now that it's over, I feel great. I also learned about my love affair with food and how to be better at being healthy. I can't believe I did this for 10 long ass days. But at least I can say that I did it and made it through. I think folks should try it at least once in their lives.

Will I do it again...maybe in 2 years.
