Without ever intending for it to happen, many people find themselves caught up in the modern-day whirlwind of activity and overload. Our culture is defined by go-go-go and despite being blessed with many labor-saving devices, these only serve to actually make us even more busy — for the faster we’re able to get things done, […]

For many of us, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday binge. Just on Thanksgiving Day alone, the average person consumes around 4500 calories. This is often times followed up by almost a week of left-over cakes, pies and pounds of stuffing which easily takes us into December with its various Christmas parties and the […]

I’ve been asked numerous times what the recipe is for the lemonade diet or lemonade fast. I’ve partially included it on day 1 of my experience with the lemonade […]

Pop, soda, coke, whatever you call it there are three reasons why we should stop drinking it: Caffeine, Aspartame, and High-Fructose Corn Syrup.
Never having been a coffee drinker, I used to pride myself in not joining the flocking masses waiting in line for their morning fix at the nearest Dunkin’ Donuts. It wasn’t until I […]

When people think of meditation, usually images of far-away yogis sitting crosslegged chanting mantras are conjured up. Meditation for most people’s minds involves sitting still, closing one’s eyes, relaxing the body, breathing deeply and trying to find that place in which many Zen practitioners call “no mind”. How is […]

When I wake up tomorrow morning it will have been 10 days of experimenting with the lemonade diet (also known as the lemonade fast or Master Cleanse). Today someone […]

This fast is now coming to a close. My tongue for the second day now is appearing pink. According to the book I guess I could stop now, however I want to complete at least 10 days.
One interesting observation that I’ve discovered is my reflexes have seemed to have improved. Like a bull in a […]

Wow I can’t believe it has been 8 days already. If you’d have asked me on day 3 I wouldn’t think this fast would ever end but now I’m rather enjoying this lemonade drink. I’m still considerably cold throughout the day as a result of drinking the mixture cold; one thing I haven’t tried yet […]

Wierd…today I had that craving for chicken again. It wasn’t as intense as yesterday, but the craving was still there. According to the book, those kinds of cravings are supposed to go away with the next mornings bowel movements. Well that didn’t happen. Possibly there’s something in chicken that my body needs and it’s trying […]

This morning I woke up and I could see some semblance of my abs peeking through. Again, I didn’t start this fast with the intention of losing weight; I started this to clean out my clogged system. The weight loss is a nice benefit however.
Cleansing is definitely taking place. It’s been six days and I […]

Today was certainly better than yesterday. I hope that yesterday marks the end of the feeling of intense hunger. It’s a bit strange. It’s as if my body tried one last ditch effort to make me eat and upon seeing that I wasn’t going to give in it let out a big sigh and said […]

If I thought yesterday was the worst day ever I was completely off base. Today was by far more difficult to get through than any other day before. At this rate I’ll be eating this keyboard by day 10. The 100 or so ounces of lemonade that I bring to work everyday was almost gone […]

Ughhh…Today has been pretty rough. Although I enjoy experimenting and increasing my present limitations, I’m glad I’ll be sleeping soon to take my mind off of food. The cravings for something of substance besides a liquid have become the worst today than any of the previous days.
Some interesting observations: I’ve noticed that my core temperature […]

Well Dr. Burroughs wasn’t kidding when he called it the Salt-Water Flush! Man, it’s more like the salt-water gush. I guess that gravity thing he was talking about really works. It went straight through me in about 20 min. Then it came on again for a second time. At this rate I’ll probably be all […]

Ahhh…day 1. Let’s get some things straight here. The reason I’m going on this fast is not to lose weight. I’m not overweight but could use to lose about 5-10 lbs. to be where I think I look the best. The main […]
