Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

I won’t even finish that sentence. This is a rant, because I feel like I was screwed.

I suffered for 12 of the 14 days I was trying to get through the master cleanse, and I can’t see any results other than losing 5 lbs. I’m already starting to gain back. I don’t feel healthier, have more energy, or any of the other stuff they claim. I wish I had never done it.

Plus, my bowels are now so messed up, I can’t even have a BM! I’m glad I didn’t take the laxative every day, or they’d be worse. 

I feel like I wasted two weeks on something totally worthless, when Icould have been doing the juice/raw food diet, been healthier, and lost more weight.

Of course you’ll lose weight if you don’t eat, but let me tell you the downside.  No matter how dedicated you are, when you start eating solid food again, you WILL have all the same cravings that you had before.

Today, I went to buy carrots for my juice fast, and guess what?  I bought candy. I still have the same sugar cravings, and if possible, they are worse than before.

So don’t torture yourself on the Master Cleanse. It’s not going to do you any good for losing weight, and may actually be bad for you.

I’ll never do it again, that’s for sure!  And now I’m stuck with four jars of molasses. Guess I’ll be drinking molasses in my coffee for awhile. Yep, I’m drinking coffee, and loving every single cup. 

Am I still going to try to lose weight? Yes, but with something that won’t almost kill me, and will actually work. I’m doing juicing and raw food for the next six months.  I’ll actually be healthier and thinner without putting my body through what I had to put it through with this. 

I know some of you people who are addicted to this MC thing will say “Well, you cheated, and you didn’t follow it exactly, blah, blah, blah.”  I don’t care what you say, this thing is just something to take advantage of desperate people like myself.  I knew when I had the horrendous leg cramps that this thing wasn’t giving me the right nutrition, like it claims.

No more. No fads, no starvation, just food that is actually healthy for me and lots of exercise.   I’ll lose the weight I want to, but when I do, my system will not be this screwed up.

Wonder how long it will be before it gets straightened out?
