Taz - Master Cleanse - Day 3 March 4. 2007
My Weight - 126 pounds - 3.5 pounds less than day one.
Akom's weight - 138.5 - 1 pound more than day one.
So far my craving for food has not come back. I am hungry but that's it.
Also as other people who have done the cleanse have indicated, there is no weakness or lack of energy. I am also amazed because, I usually get hypoglycemic when I'm hungry and don't eat. That has not occurred. I can function till I am able to drink some more lemonade. We have increased our consumption to 7 glasses a day and have decreased the amount of maple syrup to 1.5 TBS. It was actually getting too sweet.
I did not take the tea last night or this morning, and I have not had to go to the bathroom either. I will give it today, and maybe start on it slowly tonight again.
So far with the exception of the physical detoxification symptoms the first two days, I feel good.
By the way, if you are interested in reading a side by side comparison of how the both of are reacting to this cleanse, please feel free to visit ourMaster Cleanse page.

Akom - Master Cleanse - Day 3 March 4. 2007
Morning weight: 138.5
This is getting better and better.
I actually ran, worked out and felt just fine.
Started on lemonade around 11am (had the new senna tea first).
I have lots of technical stuff on my list today - setup a new server, move domains and apps between hosting spaces, configure things, buy hardware, etc. It's fun but it eats time like you would not believe.
I was able to become a little lighter sometime midday, though it was not without effort and some time commitment. Despite the time invested, the output was below average. I have no conjectures about reasons at this time. We'll just wait and see.
We took a break around 2pm and went to check out George Street Coop - a little store in New Brunswick that sells organic food (and you can partner with them too). We needed to buy lemons/limes anyway (10 days and 2 people call for a lot of lemons and limes). It's a really cute store and the food looks good, but they had no limes. So off we went to ShopRite - theirs didn't look too good so we picked out what we could. Eventually we drove past a farm market on Rt 18, and they had whatever we wanted! I have no idea if they are organic though. So now we are stocked for at least most of the remaining days.

Taz - Master Cleanse Day 2 March 3. 2007
My Weight - 127 pounds - 1.5 pounds less than yesterday.
Akom's weight - 139 - 1.5 pounds more than yesterday.
Interesting.....
It is the middle of the day. Yesterday, I went to bed at 5:00pm. I was so tired. I thought I was only going to take a nap and then Akom woke me up at 10pm for my tea!
So the tea is having a bad effect on me. On the directions it says to stop taking it if diarrhea or loose stool develops. Well, suffice it to say, I am going to stop taking the tea. The Master Cleanse, also says to stop taking the laxative if that occurs.
I have had to go to the bathroom 4 times today, and that is not including the two times I went during the night. Not pleasant experiences. I have also vomited twice. However, as unappetizing as all of that sounds, I do feel better. The tongue swollen feeling I had yesterday is gone.

Morning weight: 139
Got up fairly late, didn't go running as I got bogged down in administrative tasks - mostly domain/hosting/application related.
I wound up rewriting the story presentation engine, again - this time to generate a static site using smarty.
Had some of the tea in the morning, and started drinking lemonade around 11am.
The tea is quite effective, producing expected results. It's now 1.5 days since I've eaten anything solid and I'm using the bathroom as if there've been no changes in my lifestyle. I guess I've never really fasted for longer than 2 days at a time, so it hasn't occurred to me just how long it takes for food to work its way through the system... Or is it what I'm supposed to be getting rid of - the ballast I've been carrying for who knows how long?

Taz - Master Cleanse Day 1 March 2. 2007
So the big day has arrived. Today is the first day of the master cleanse.
Let me back up and say that yesterday for dinner I had a spicy salmon hand roll and an oshiko roll. Healthy right.....
I don't think my body liked the spicy salmon.
Anyway, so this morning I weighed myself - 129.5 pounds - let see if I lose any of that. I think I will, because whenever I go to India, and I eat only vegetarian food I lose weight in shorter periods of time.
I got up and made myself a salt water flush. 32oz of saltwater. The salt water itself was not bad, except I just can't drink 32 oz. So I had 12 oz. of salt water and a cup of laxative tea.
Then at 9:30am I had my first glass of lemonade and I have had 4 of my 6 glasses so far. Six 8oz of lemonade...that is all I am having for the next 10 days.....Me who barely drinks 8oz of water in one day.
So needless to say I have been going to the bathroom quite a bit. I have gone to the bathroom to eliminate 3 times today - which is less than I was expecting. And of there are other sumptoms such as dryness of the mouth.

Akom - Master Cleanse Day 1 March 2. 2007
Weight - 137.5 pounds
Since I got home past midnight, it is now friday.
12:30am - Drank some Smooth Move tea and went to bed.
night - some minor bloating but nothing significant
8:00am - It's smooth move alright, wake up, go, you're done.
8:30am - Running/workout, dump all the food in the fridget that won't last 10 days
10:00am - Drank 32oz of salt water. First half of that all at once, the rest over 15 minutes. It gets a bit unpleasant in the second half, but you can kinda think of it as lime juice - both taste salty.
12:00am - Started drinking the lemonade. Tastes fine but a bit too sweet. About 50-60oz over the next 6 hours. Some of it was lime, most lemon based.
Interestingly, most of the day I didn't feel hungry or think of food. Stomach is occasionally making noises but overall I don't feel weak.

OK so I guess I should respond to the whole Rye thing...
So I sprouted rye and wheat with granola in mind... but I didn't have time to deal with them when they were ready. So instead of letting them go to waste I figured I'd dehydrate them.
So I admit I had no idea how long it would take so I cranked up the timer to 6 hours at 115F, and by morning they were rock hard (that is also the state Taz encountered them in).
A few days later (last night) I got a minute, ground them up in the Ultimate Chopper (it's gotta be good for something, right?) and they turned into flower, sort of.
Since I was going into this with no plan, I just kept adding whatever I could find until it reached a consistency I felt was workable. So here are the ingredients and since I just tossed them in, I have no idea how much I used of each:
