RE: I've changed my views on solid food... And how I lost 16 pounds in 16 days.
I have done the Master Cleanse for 10 days on many different occasions. I have not had problems with the not eating part of it (after 3 days the hunger pangs always seem to disappear anyway, then there is just the monotony part to deal with), but I have never been able to do the "slow coming off of the fast" part successfully. Maybe I should give it another try now that I am older and (wiser?).
I gotta admit- this was my 4th round of doing it, and is the first time that I've done the gentle coming back thing... I don't think it's a necessity. My parent just did 10 days- and they didn't even ease out of it (they are 67 years old). Worst thing I've gotten is a tiny bit of diarrhea - not a huge deal. The only reason I did the slow thing was 'cause of the pains that I had - -and those were, I'm pretty sure, just because of the sriracha I kept sipping on for flavor.
