Well, I am beginning DAY 3!! All is well so far!! Last night I was at the gym for almost 3 hours and felt as though I could have stayed for another 3!!! I was amazed because during cardio kickboxing I felt AWESOME!!! No weird feelings at all!!! I will keep updating!!

 

[Kathytnt]

I am amazed that you are spending 3 hours at the gym - What the heck are you doing for 3 hours

I am actually starting my Fiber 35 diet today

I am actually starting my Fiber 35 diet today

A few more questions for you on that. If I don't want to commit to 35+ ...is adding any extra fiber to your diet better than nothing?? Also, what about adding supplements? Or do you need 35+ of the real thing?

Congrats....man! I need to try this

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

Well... I start out on eliptical (30min), gauntlet (20-30min)--that is the moving stairs (I hate this!!) and then treadmill (60 minutes) Then cardio kickboxing for an hour!!

I swear I feel so much better on this cleanse... I feel like I am on top of the world, and working so hard!! I just hope I can keep it up!! Like I said before, my show on Sunday will be the kicker ... Caramel Apple Bread PUdding... YUMMO!!!

Being on Weight Watchers and counting points, it is so easy to find high-fiber foods! Especially breads, cereals, other foods you buy for yourself. (Especially fruits, vegetables, etc.)Just today for lunch I am eating a Boca meatless chili bowl (150 calories, 1g fat, 12g fiber!) and several pieces of Natures Own Double Fiber bread ... each serving has 8g of fiber! So for lunch I am eating 28 grams of fiber alone .... not counting breakfast where I had at least 9.5 grams(apple, 3.5g, muffin, 3g, granola bar, 3g)!For the real benefits of fiber and how it affects your body, check this out:

Thanks!! I will check it out

Well, I had a temptation!! I teach 1st grade and my kids are bringing in jelly beans for an easter activity. One child brought in a huge bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans!! She brought one for the project and gave one bag to me!!! Of course I thanked her profusly (sp?) and set them on my desk. They are staring at me!!! I would love a popcorn jelly belly right now!!!

 

[sailortena]

Bring the bag to the teacher's lounge and leave it there.Solution! Out of sight, out of mind.

Haha, I do this with practice recipes that I make at home.... because I will eat a whole batch of whatever if not!

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

I placed them on the table in there!! The funny part is that we are finishing up a "Biggest Loser" contest. The final day is next Wednesday!! I am right at the top!! So, I figured, no time like now to try this cleanse!! It can't do anything but help my chances!! The winner (largest percentage lost) wins $400!! I would love to have that!!!

 

[jenniferknapp]

Wow, what an incentive!! What is the range of the weight that people have lost??

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

I have lost 8l bs... The only part that stinks is that someone who started out weighing less... Her precentage will fall faster!!

I am at 8%

Like someone who weighed 150 to begin with--- 1%=1.5 lbs.
For someone who weighed 200 to begin with-- 1%=2 lbs.

I am busting my butt!! The best thing to come out of this competition is the healthy life style....

 

[jenniferknapp]

Awww, yeah! But that is great for you

Wow, now I am inspired and motivated to do my own cleanse! I really need energy and feel weighted down. A good cleanse would be great for me I think! I went to a local GNC store and bought myself a supplemental detox pack to flush your system in 2 weeks. IT recommends eating only veggies, fruits, fish and chicken and staying away from wheats, dairy, sugars and additives. I will let ya know the results when I am finshed! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Up date day 1. Huge headache (due to lack of coffee or tea) but other than that I am suprised I am not hungry only eating fruits, veggies and brown rice (probably because my headache is distracting me) LOL!

How's the MC going PC-Ok-la-ms?

 

[Kathytnt]

How is everyone doing - I haven't been good with my fiber but I am tryig to get started again

What's this fiber thing you're doing? Is it a supplement or just intake x-amount of fiber each day?

Mine is going ever so slowly... today is day 3 and I am totally drained, I feel exhausted but at least the headache is gone! Hopefully engergy starts to kick in soon, (since that is the whole reason I started it). But oh am I craving some java or chai tea!

The Fiber 35 Diet which is a minimum of 35 grams of fiber a day

Master cleanse!!Okay, so I've done the Master Cleanse multiple times. I do atleast 2 / 40 day cleanses w/ the lemonade, cayenne & grade B maple syrup per year. I do it to cleanse my kidneys and always lose close to 20lbs. (I don't need to lose weight, it just happens as a side effect). My husband on the other hand has done it several times for weight loss and loses approx. 25 lbs. each time. You will only lose what is natural for your body. When finished, your body stabilizes to your ideal weight, unless you have a lot to lose and then I recommend doing another cleanse after a month of recovery. 10 days is enough to see if it's for you and then it's hard not to stay on because it works so well and you feel so great! Trust me, after day 2 you'll know if you can do it. Any questions? Give me a holla'

40 days each time!!!?? No food but the lemondade?? OH My, you should be really pure by then! I may have to try it after I do this one enzymatic cleanse but 7-10 days is my max!

 

[jenniferknapp]

Wow, that is crazy!! You girls are making me a little interested in it, but not sure if I could do it!pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS, how are you doing...we haven't heard from you in ahwile!?

 

[sailortena]

Do you eat anything while going on a cleanse? Or is it just drinking stuff for days and days?

 

[heat123]

I was wondering the same thing esp. if they do it for 40 days!!!

 

[Teresa Lynn]

Trust me if I did this I'd lose 515 poundsthe combined weight of my DH, DDS & DD 'cuz they'd all leave me I'd be such a witch!!

 

[sailortena]

I was just concerned because if all you are intaking is lemonaid /water/cayenne pepper/maple syrup etc. for more than 10 days wouldn't your body go into serious starvation mode and start shutting down?I mean your brain needs fat every day to function properly, and if the body stops getting nutrients, it literally starts eating itself. if you get hurt, wounds won't heal properly (if at all), your hair starts falling out, your muscles atrophy, etc.Sure you could do this master cleanse and consume 650 calories a day on it, you will seriously lose weight on it, but then you have to give your stomach weeks to get used to eating again, and then you put back on the weight you rapidly lost.The healthy rate to lose weight is 1-2 pounds per week. Your body will keep it off if you go that rate, because it gets time to adjust itself.

I hear you sister! Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Kathytnt]

No - Your brain doesn't need fat for energy it uses glucose. I do think going to low on calories for too long is not good. You do need to start adding foods back gradually. I think the Cleanse book suggests how to start eating again. The key is to try not to start eating the bad stuff again. The Cleanse is not supposed to be for weight loss it is to help you body remove toxins.
