These pages are an account of our transition through the Mastercleanse Detox programme. This is a 10 day diet designed to cleanse the body and restore good health. We are going on it as a result of a recommendation from a friend in church. We are likely to discuss things here such as our bodily functions. If you are queasy about such matters or don't want to know what we did in the bathroom today, I would recommend you don't continue to read this blob. Here we go .............

Day 6 - Mastercleanse - 27th November

No real pains or gripes today. Just an agonising desire to eat. Every smell in the house (when the boys are eating) drives us nuts. The worst was Sammy eating guacamole corn chips in the car. I was very nearly tempted.

Niether of us have been to the bathroom for any bowel movements but weeing for Britian (or Canada). We probably only did 5 glasses of lemonade today and we have cut the cayenne completely.

I have lost 10 pounds in weight since day 1 and have pulled in my belt by 2 notches. We are certain Julie has lost weight too, as her trousers are loose but we never weighed her before we started, so we can't compare.

I am just amazed that we have both been able to keep this up. The intention is to do 10 days and then start with orange juice for 2 days. I'm not so sure that we will be able to hold out that long. We keeping teasing each other with the particular food that we would just love to have. For me a simple cheddar cheese sandwich would do the trick. The when we dropped Sammy off at his mates house tonight for a sleep over, they said they were all going for a chinese. Now I can't get sweet and sour out of my mind.

Out tongues have gone from horribly coated with green and white stuff to a lovely fresh pink clean colour which they are now. My itritating itchy head which I have had for years has completely gone. Julie thinks I am partially wheat intollerant and my head problem flares us when I eat cereals in the morning or do doughnuts and lots of bread. This could well be the problem. But how do you fix it? I just love my bread (french, ciabatta whatever). How could I survive without. It's all will power and overcoming your desires I suppose. Just like what we are doing now.
