I did do the Master Cleanse for 26 days and it was pretty easy. I've wanted to do another but can't seem to get started or can't get past 1/2 day.

Do not do cleansing diets too often, because they deplete your body of things.  If you have a good diet, you only need to cleanse every year or two.  If the one you did works, do it again.  I have done some, but they are more on the dangerous side, harder to do, and should only be done if you know what you are doing.  Remember that if you do any kind of fast or colon cleansing, you need to replace two things in your colon: the friendly bacteria, and the bulk.  This is done by eating yogurt for the bacteria, and eating a high fiber diet to get things working properly again.  Actually, the most healthful diet plan would be a full-time high fiber diet (but that can be overdone also).\n\nSave cleansing diets for when your body needs it, because it is like a medical procedure.  Hope this helps.

not possible. you might be able to get a little something going on if you are IN DECENT shape now. but you can forget about a 6 pack within a month (unless its a 6 pack of coke)\n\ngenerally it takes AT LEAST 3 monts to see real results in that area.

Don't beat yourself up for "cheating". I was a smoker for close to 10 years I quite last year. It took a long time and I had to scale down on my smoking. That is all your doing. Be proud of yourself. Only smoking a couple of times today is great! Your on the right path. Take it slow. I tried once to quit cold turkey and it did not work. Smoking less and less each day was the right method for me. If your husband can quit  cold turkey then more power to him! But if you can't it is okay. The end result will be the same. You are just taking 2 different roads to get there. Stick with it! You know this is the right thing to do! Good luck

have you been eating more?  How long are you working out? and hour? half hour? Remember first that muscle weighs more than fat does..really...most adults should strive for 30 minutes of exercise everyday..to loose weight you'll need to increase your cardio and decrease your caloric intake..lost 22 pounds this summer...was really strict w/calories..no junk, no mid am snack, mid pm snack was steamed veggies, reminded myself that it was okay to be hungry, and worked out 5-6 days a week for a minimum of 60  minutes, more like 90 minutes a day...drank tons of water and iced tea..it worked but it was hard work...you can do this..have an epiphany to change your life and embrace good health

You'll probably see results within a few days but, don't get hung up on the numbers.  You may experience periods of time where you aren't losing as much as you had been...don't give up!

I have gone through the exact same thing! My diet and excercise never changed yet I managed at first to lose weight then put it back on and even more. Its been over a year now, and once again Im losing weight again! Lets just hope that I dont put any more weight on! My worst problem at the moment though is getting off them, I just cant seem to do it because of the withdrawels!

OK... I know this is going to be hard.  But sometimes we just need to do things that are painful.  Take 3 days away from your life, lock yourself in your house, get some ice chips, a load of water, and absolutely any food you want to eat (any food because that's your gift for doing it).  It will be painful but I promise you, after 3 days, you're going to feel better and you'll get that out of your system. \n\nThen, get online and join a support group.  In fact, do it while within the 3 days.  Exercise.  Go for a jog every time you want a smoke.  Do some yoga.  It's just 3 hard days.  And how many of those have we had without being in control of them.  \n\nI'm not going to lecture you.  I'm sure you're about to hear an earful from the folks on here.  I think you know that you have got to do this for both of you.  BTW, Have you talked to your doc abou this?

Some people have found success with cleansing while trying "cold turkey."  If you get the built-up toxins out of your system more quickly it may help reduce your withdrawal systems.  AND, once you "clean yourself out" it will be less desirable to start smoking again since you'll be "dirtying" yourself up again after doing the work involved in cleansing and feeling so much better overall.\n\nI've personally used the bowel cleansing system called the Cleansing Trio produced by Young Living and been very pleased with the results.  It's also advisable you do a liver cleanse.  I haven't specifically used the liver cleanse products by YL so I can't say one way or the other about them.  There's lots of cleansing kits, but if you're interested in the one I've tried you can find it at their official web site www.youngliving.org.\n\nI wish you well in your endeavor.\n\n"If at first you don't succeed, try try again!"  :)

I started my program 3 months ago,(weights & pilates) and started to see results in 3-4 wks. However, I hate to exercize, so I've slacked down & started to gain again. Darn!

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James

ANY method works if it happens to be the one you're using when you finally, and truly, reach the decision to kick (the) butt.\n\nWent through 2 hospitalizations for pneumonia before quitting cold turkey. 50 plus years of smoking must have made me dumber, because it took that long to realize that I quit smoking everyday - for one-third of the day. Why couldn't I go one hour without a cigarette during the day, but I could go 8 hours without one at night? If I could quit for 8 hours every night, wasn't that proof that I could quit forever?\n\nOh yes, I tried the quit-in-stages programs (have one cigarette on the hour, etc.) and the water and the.........etc.,etc.\n\nNothing works until You are of a mind to let it work. So, as the fellow said in the movie "Cool Hand Luke", You need to get your mind "right", and the ensuing determination will lead to success.

I did it a few years back, super tiring doing it 5 days a week, i think if your going to do it you should have a good strength base and then try doing it 3 days a week in my opinion.

Drink 6-8 glasses of  2 tbsp. lemonjuice\n                      2 tbsp. maple syrup\n                      and a pinch of cayanne\na day. I was able to do this for one month. It was awesome. It is the perfect cleanser, you get lots of energy, clarity, and the vanity part 20 lbs. less weight.\nyou have to want to do this. you have to commit. The results are wonderful. I was NEVER hungry, still had friends over and cooked for them and WATCHED. They were so amazed by me. Speed walk 3 miles, listen to good music. Be good to yourself. Good luck\nI do it once a yr. Maybe we should do it together.

it depends on how much you were doing and for how long and how much water you drink. i have a friend who was a super heavy user like 2 -3 grams a day and was quite stout body shape he went to detox and was clean for a week and still tested postive for meth!?! and he hadn't done any at all for 1 week!! so i recommend drinking as much h20 and green tea as possible. and this is a must, if you have access to a steam room go in for 10 - 15 minutes twice a day or take epson salt baths this will make you sweat out the toxins like mad. it also makes you feel super wired cause it is releasing any of the speed stored in your system. its also an amazing way to detox. also take alot of b12 to give you energy. good luck

First problem is that there is no sure way to pass a drug unless of course your clean. Many websites offer things to supposedly "cleanse" your system but nothing works except for time. But, one thing that can actually speed up the rate at which your body is cleansed is hair and nail growth pills. They helped me out, but of course, if shes getting a hair drug test then this is no good because it actually deposits the drugs into new hair and nails. Enjoi
