1st Day on "Ultimate Master Cleanse"

PLEASE NOTE. I AM NOT ENDORSING THIS CLEANSE OR PROMOTING IT. I AM BLOGGING ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE. I DO APPRECIATE THOSE THAT RESPECT MY OPINON AND RESPECT THAT OTHERS MAY WANT TO TRY IT BECAUSE I AM.

EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCE WILL BE DIFFERENT, THE WAY I CHOOSE TO USE THIS CLEANSE AND THE FOOD I AM CHOOSING TO EAT IS SOLEY BASED ON WHAT I AM ACCUSTOMED TO AND NOT WHAT IS IDEAL FOR EVERYONE.

To be very honest, If you are a true Vegan you don't need a cleanse because your body is absoutely healthy.

Cleanse's are for people that eat alot of toxic, processed foods, Junk Foods, Meat, Sugar, etc.

I am a Vegetarian, I don't eat meat, chicken or fish. I was Total Vegan a while ago, but I have a thing for sugar and cheese at times. Sugar is the big thing I try to stay away from, There is awesome Vegetarian and Vegan Cookies, Cakes, Deserts and Ice Creams.

It's "Challenging" for me when I'm out somewhere late and with my friends, I don't want to eat something healthy or there are some places you can't really get anything healthy, NOT ALWAYS but sometimes.

Natural Foods such as Fruit contain sugar BUT IT'S ORGANIC sugar. Good for you. F what Atkins or some "Diets" have told you.

I can eat pure and clean, because I know that food is to help me live, not necessarly to taste good all the time. I know that sounds weird but ONCE you purify your body, you can taste the sweet and saltiness of fruits and vegetables. It's great.

When I have a chance I will put up all the info on the Cleanse including a break down of what each pill does.



So last week I went to Whole Foods with my friend and we came upon an isle with different cleanse products.

I tried the Master Cleanse (Lemon, Cayenne Pepper, Maple Syrup) like a year ago, of course I didn't stick with it.

I am totally clueless to Cleanses. 1 of the employees came over and started explaining all of them to us. I wasn't going to buy one but I did need something to help me jump start my body.

So I decided to go with "Ultimate Detox & Cleanse" It's a 2 week program. Basically you take 4 pills 3 times a day with every meal.

The Pills are a bit big, I am not a fan of taking large pills, thankfully these are very easy to chew. 1 has an after taste that reminds me of an Italian spinach dish.

I woke up, very excited to start. All the ingredients in the pills are Vegetarian and Kosher.

Each pill is full of all the nutrients your body needs, as Fiber, Iron, Etc

I had a Banana and took the pills, took me about 45 minutes to sit there and chew and take my time, with bites in between.

So far so good, now I have to take about 8 more pills by the time I go to sleep tonight.


-Lunch Update
I am not hungry at all. I bought a big bag of ready to eat broccoli, colliflour, carrots and salad, already ready to eat. I don't suggest everyone do this because I know not everyone can eat vegetables raw.

I however, can with no problem.

I took the 1st of 4 pills for this meal, I have 3 more to go. It's not horrible but it's not freak'n delicious! I'm not complaining it's just a bit time consuming for me, then again I have time on my side. Plus taking your time while you eat or in this case "snack" you get fuller faster.

I was going to make a potatoe, but I will save that for dinner.
