It’s been four days since I completed the Master Cleanse Diet and once again, I feel great! My thought processes are clearer and I am able to tackle problems in my personal life with more ease and patience. There’s an inner peace that one tends to acquire when the colon and organs have been partially cleansed from toxins.

In following the diet’s procedures, for the first 2 days after the Master Cleanse Diet, I drank nothing but freshly squeezed orange juice and vegetable broth. The freshly squeezed orange juice and vegetable broth prepares the digestive system to once again break down food and absorb nutrients.

On the 3rd day, I continued the consumption of freshly squeezed orange juice and vegetable broth; however, I added vegetables such as Parsley and Scallions to the broth.

Finally on the 4th day, in addition to the freshly squeezed orange juice and vegetable broth with vegetables, I consumed fruits such as grapefruit and strawberries, along with seeds and nuts. Later for dinner, I ate a Caesar salad minus salad dressing.

The objective for the 5th day is that you begin to adopt a high protein eating style, excluding coffee, white flour, white rice, junk food and anything with a high glycemic level. On this day, many people experiencing this diet have complained about gas or other digestive distress. The remedy for that is to repeat days 2, 3, and 4 after the diet, until your digestive system is back to normal.

The idea of this diet / fast is to reduce damage in the body brought about by our polluted environment and poor eating habits. After the diet, our aim should be to maintain our weight by making wise food choices, and to focus on becoming more active, engaging in positive things to keep our mind in a state of tranquility or serenity.
