okay.

i went to school in CO for massage a couple years ago, and i took an acupressure/shiatsu class that taught a lot of eastern hometopathy practices, and the lemon juice cleanse (aka master cleanse) was in one of my textbooks, so i decided to try it.

my experience with it was absolutely horrible.

the drink was gross, i felt like i was going to vomit every time i drank a little bit. to this day, i still can't eat anything with cayenne pepper on it.

however, i've heard of people who've had lots of success with it, and even saw them do it on LA ink. i don't know if i made it wrong, or it was just a wrong point in my life to be doing that (it was my first year in college, so i had gained the freshman "25" -- more like 30 or so lol --, was living off pizza and chinese, was really stressed out with school and being from my family, and my tiny apartment was a mess. i think i had a lot to detox.

so, if you want to do it, this time would actually be the best, going into spring.

while you are doing it, you don't want to tire yourself out physically by working out a lot (maybe some yoga or something might be ok), just take it easy, try to minimize other stresses. maybe clean your house or room the day before, lol. i mean.. it may sound silly, but that really affects you, outside clutter. and keep a good diet about the week before, lots of fruits and veggies, to "pre-flush" your system.

just be careful, and be very sensitive and aware of your body, okay?

if you do it... good luck!!!!
