After the Master Cleanse what?


It's been three days now since I finished my master cleanse. There's a three day post Master Cleanse diet to ease in your body into receiving solid foods again. First day was orange juice but I did oranges because for the first time in ten days I felt very hungry. I feel like I've been hungrier in these past three days than I ever was during the cleanse. That makes me think that the lemonade did really have the nutrients I needed for my daily activities. Anyways, this is how the 3 day ease in diet looks like:


1. The first day of ending the cleanse you should avoid all solid food. Start drinking orange juice and water. Drink slowly and let it settle. More water never hurt anybody, so drink plenty. Orange juice is good for helping your body adjust back to digesting regular food.

2. On the second day, continue drinking orange juice and lots of water. Now you can add in light soups. It is best to use vegetable soup as this is healthy and very light, and you can also eat Rye wafers. This food will be easy on your stomach and will help it to adjust back properly.

3. On day three you should continue with soup and drinking plenty of water. For dinner, you can add in fruits, vegetables, and salad. These foods are still easy on the stomach and very healthy.

4. For the next couple days follow this plan and ease yourself back into a normal diet. Don’t rush it; let your stomach calibrate itself. Also, avoid meats and milk for at least 5 days. Milk can irritate your stomach during this process and meat is very hard for the stomach to digest.

5. Finally, when your stomach adjusts to solid food you should consider eating some yogurt. The Master Cleanse eliminates a lot of waste and bacteria that are bad for your body, but you will also lose some good bacteria that are actually beneficial to your body.

I must say I did not do it exactly. First day I did oranges and pumpkin soup. Second day I did oranges and had some  homemade eggplant lasagna. I did everything from scratch though to make it as natural as possible. And now I'm on my third day and just had an orange and will probably be sticking to soup today. I'm sure my stomach shrunk because for the first time in a long time I left food on the plate!!! Oh and one thing to remember is to drink a lot of water.Well hope this helps.

**After my ease in I'll be sticking to a low carb diet. I will post my grocery shopping list for my new diet. :)
