Master cleanse help!?!


Question: Master cleanse help!?
This is my third time trying to finish the master cleanse, and half my problem is the disgusting senna leaf laxative teas and the salt water flush. both make me gag and it's just so hard to get them down. could I substitute another kind of laxative, say a chocolate laxative or a pill of some kind? I know the whole point is not to put solid food back into your body while on the cleanse but it's that or quit the cleanse!

Answers:

To actually answer your question, no you can't use a chocolate laxative and pills will be too harsh for your system. Besides that any solid you take even a pill (or chewing ice for that matter) will activate your digestive system in a way that will cause the cleanse to be less effective.
Try different brands of senna/laxative teas. There's one called smooth moves that's supposed to be pretty good. I use one from a company called Now Botanicals, it's in a orange box that says Senna TEA. It's very mild tasting. I didn't think it would work because it didn't taste like anything...boy was I wrong. 8}
As for the salt water flush, just do your best do get it down. If you can't skip it for now.
Both of these are meant to make you poop, that's it.
And the link below is for the skeptics.
Happy cleansing to you.

The master cleanse and salt flush diet you are referring to is a calorie deficit program.
You will lose a few pounds but when you start eating again you will probably gain more weight.
The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available. The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to burn muscle mass for fuel, not the stored fat. Stored fat will be used as a last resort when needed.
When you start eating again the body immediately stores any food as fat because it doesn't know when the next famine is coming. The complete opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
If you really want to lose some weight for good drink lots of ice water, 100 oz per day. Eat a healthy breakfast to kick start the metabolism. Eat a snack every two hours if possible. Eat three good meals a day, the largest at lunch. No food after 8 p.m. Maybe plain popcorn air popped or cooked in canola oil only.
You need to eat tons of fiber. It cleans the system hourly and accelerates the metabolism.
You are forcing all the healthy bacteria and enzymes out of your digestive tract which will result in stomach pain, cramps, when you start eating again.
Eat to lose!
Good luck.



You want an easy out, a reason you won't feel regret quitting the "master cleanse?" It does nothing! It's alt med hype with no evidence behind it. Your body is self cleaning. It's got a liver, kidneys, and digestive tract. If you're healthy, they don't need any help. If they do need help, you'd have a serious problem that would require medical attention, not a "cleanse."



Stop this dangerous and useless treatment now.
