Shen’s Master Cleanse

Sorry I have been gone, I bet there are some questions to be answered…
Well now is not the time. I got my total loss in wieght, I got my change after I started to eat again… So keep checking back and I will try to get some well thought paragraphs out for ya.

Peace ouT!

I woke up and tried to find something to eat….

I wanted some yogurt and cereal and fruit. I settled with frozen strawberries…

I went to Chinatown and picked up some tomatoes, spinach, fried tofu, and found ong chow!

I love going to this oriental restaurant called Mini Garden, we always get spicy black bean Ong Chow. It’s English name is Water Spinach. It has hollow stems and is leafy.

For lunch I made some spinach spaghetti soup using my soup base from last night. I also made the ong chow with fried garlic and black bean sauce I have, damn was it tasty. It was oily but my tummy didn’t go crazy on me.

I am trying to limit my portions, try to fill up at meals with water instead of food.

For dinner I heated up more soup with the “radiatori” noodles in it. I made some brown rice and had some left over spinach for a salad but was full by the time I was done with the Ong Chow and soup.

I went and hung out in Waikiki with my roommate for the afternoon, all the restaurants were calling my name!

For desert I am having some yogurt and frozen strawberries. Oh I also started my pro biotic pills. I have the Reuteri Pearls brand…

yesterday I bought $12 worth of organic oranges(about 4lbs). I got a months supply of probiotics. I wasn’t sure if I was going to pick some up but I might as well start out right. I wouldn’t want to get sick or something. It was a little pricey, $16 for a months supply.

I made 3 servings of the lemonaide for today if the OJ didn’t work. Wow did it taste horrible! Did I mix it wrong? Was a telling myself I would be having OJ all day and decided to reject the smell of the LA? I made some OJ, organic oranges were pretty hard, made 2 oranges worth before a big meeting. That went fast! I had to butt pee right before the meeting so I wouldn’t shit myself during the meeting.

I made more OJ for lunch, a lot harder than juicing the lemons. I decided to also run over to Jamba Juice and get some OJ and Carrot Juice!

Damn, I made 4 oranges worth of juice all morning and the chick put 15 small oranges in the machine and makes me 24 oz of OJ in 2 minutes! Skin and all. Carrot juice is nice, my buddy always drinks it and I am always glad to be able to enjoy it when it’s around. I am not sure what it will do to me but I just like the taste.

Had another poo and I saw some orange pulp floating around…

Last day of work before my trip to Cali! Woo woo

I was so excited to come home and start making some soup!

I followed the soup base recipe in The bold vegetarian chef cookbook. I added a little too much balslmic vinigar to the soup but it tasted great, for vegetable water. I had a carrot and an ear of corn I had in the soup, didn’t seem to cause too much trouble.

I am saving the rest of the soup for tomorrow.

So I have been solid food free for 9 days, I am ready to start eating!!!

Nothing extreme is happening to me like a lot of the people I read about online. No clear mucus rings in my poo, no migraines(a few light headaches), no visions, no body aches(other than a few intestinal pains usually from the tea or SWF).

I drank enough water in the morning to finally poo out everything until it was clear which was nice.

I don’t think I have been drinking enough water. I am making my lemon aids one by one now and they taste so much better than a batch made for the whole day.

I have realized that I am a pretty healthy guy. I am a vegetarian, workout regularly, am not an alcoholic. I am not a great vegetarian, I could always eat better. I love pizza, nacho cheese, maybe a little steak or poke(raw cubed hawaiian style fish) if I am BBQing and beering it up with friends. I don’t eat my veggies every day, I should have a salad and some fruit(read FRESH).

I have read about those support your local farm programs where you are able to pay monthly and you get a box of goodies every 2 weeks or so. It sounds like a good idea but I think just being more frugal at the grocery store would be cheaper than paying for organic bunch every week. It would be good like a gym membership forcing me to workout, I mean eat fresh organic but I don’t know if it is worth it. It will be something to think about when I get back from my trip.

I woke up at 6am and made the SWL and then drank it and hopped back in bed. I woke soon after, with a headache… Had a nice squirt and went to work.

It wasn’t the horrible day that many report it to be…

I have a really amazing sense of smell, it started days ago. My girlfriend smells different, I can tell faint smells that my g/f cannot even recognize…

I am begging everyone I see to feed ME. I have not had enough juice today. On the way to work I threw my backpack and bottles in my car and my 32oz gatoraide bottles cap wasn’t on well enough. Half of it made a nice pool in my passenger seat. I had Hawaiian print covers so I just removed them and it was fine.

I think I have enough Lemons for the remaining time. I will be starting some OJ on friday, day 10 because I need to be able to eat dinner with my g/f’s family on Monday night.

I don’t think I will consider it talking it off a day early. I am still fasting no food, only OJ.

Well time for bed, I don’t have any tea here with me at my house… I sent my g/f off to the airport tonight. I leave on Monday I believe…

The worst day is what they call it, not too bad yet(knock on wood),I did wake up and decide to wait until I got to work to do the SWF. The problem was that the Laxative tea was still abrewing and I almost didn’t make it! I had to run straight to the toilet, no putting my stuff down in the office just squirmed as fast as I could to the closest toilet. It was a big one, more stuff than the usual yellow water.

I am pretty tired, my eyes hurt b/c I haven’t worn contacts for more than a week and now I have for 2 days.

Sitting in front of the computer just makes me sleepy, I had a meeting which woke me up a little.

I found a quote which nicely describes my reasoning for doing the cleanse:

the MC can be a nice big fat red RESET button to shock a person into thinking about their health and their relationship with food.

Another quote for FUN

“May you never cheat, lie, steal, or drink…. if you must cheat, cheat death.. if you must lie, lie in a loved ones arms… if you must steal, steal kisses… and if you must drink, drink LEMONADE with us yo!”

So we then went to Taco Tuesday at Compadres and it was very tempting, I am begging everyone to FEED ME!

We go to Nordstrom’s The Rack and then home, tea time than sleep.

Sleep wasn’t great…

What a morning, I wake up almost fall back asleep on the couch then get painful stomach cramps. I quickly prepare me SWF so I can squirt it out. I spend an hour on and off the toilet and finally feel ok to drive to work.

At work I go visit the porcelain gods once again. My nose is runny and I am freezing!

The rest of the day was fine, I didn’t drink much of the lemon aid. We went to go to the hot tub in Waikiki and ended up just going to cheeseburgers in paradise, I bought my g/f a BLT and fries… what a bad idea. It is dark so we skip the jacuzzi and the beach and go home and get ready for our date at Ice Palace.

I get a nice sweat going on at the skate rink and my fingers and nose and ears are frozen. I went home and had a cup of tea w/ a smooth move and a peppermint packet in it. Then I pass out.

Sleep wasn’t amazing….

So Sunday came and went like hot cakes at Tasty Crust.

Nothing special, I only had 6 servings of my drink. There was the University of Hawaii Athlete Semi-formal. Yes another dinner I had to attend, it all smelled really good but didn’t look so great. It was at the Elks in Waikiki, kind of an old persons party house. We danced a little but went home early and watched some of the sixth sense until I realized how late it was and needed to wake up early.

I do have a cold sore on the inside of my lip, it has been there for a few days. I do have some medicine for it but want to look online before I put it on.

I talked to this girl who said she would fast in 4 day increments, Mon – Thur so she would be able to go out on the weekend.

I didn’t sleep the greatest, maybe it was b/c of the lax tea I had. I didn’t go but maybe that bothered me b/c I didn’t go.

So I slept-in until 12.

I took my SWF and had one squirt. I took my g/f to her game and have to squeeze my anus until I got back to blow.

They did not burn at all! So I guess the heat was from toxins and my stomach aches two days ago.

I have had a bunch of water and about 2 cups of lemonaide as of 3pm.

The rest of the day/night went fine, st patties day. Schmeg had her last game, then we went downtown but it was raining so we went to a friends kegger, pretty fun…

I slept well, I did have a dream that I ate half of my g/f’s pasta that she left on the table after her dinner….

I had to ask her if I really ate it or not….

So I haven’t been drinking water…

I am not sure if it is better to be drinking more of less of the lemon aid. I am guessing the lesser the better, within the 6-8 servings range. (That just makes it more of a fast? Anyone know?)

I filled up another cup of water and will be drinking that all day and only the lemon aid when I am hungry.

I was pretty lazy last night and just watched some Indie films on my Joost TV.

This is a good master cleanse resource I have been using:

http://therawfoodsite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1154

It is a forum with good advice and plenty of action, another would be 43things.com find master cleanse and there are people posting each days summary.

I did not do the SWF today nor did I have the smooth move laxative tea. I had a peppermint tea, it is supposed to be a snack.

I took a dump about 3 or 4 times at work, why? Maybe I was drinking too much water for my bladder to handle and it went to my colon? I don’t know, maybe after effects of last nights Salt Water Flush, maybe I had some Laxative tea still in me…

But damn does it come out HOT!!! I am a little skeptical about the whole “if you have a bad day/body working hard/feeling shitty then tomorrow’s shit will be hot and that is all the toxins”
I am sure it is toxins, but my shits are pretty orange/yellow/brown. It looks like Cayenne pepper. I bet that is why my ass burns. before it was a minty fresh but, now I have to pat it with the TP nicely.

I went to dinner with my g/f and her roommates at Macaroni Grill, I had my bottle with me.
Our waiter was supper cool about me fasting, usually they are like “You are just going to sit there and not eat and not even order drinks!” He didn’t even give me the stink eye, he did wish me luck at the end of dinner. I did step outside when the main courses came in, ceasar salad spaghetti… mmmm! I even sat in front of a build-a-pasta and salivated!

We then went out to the Hawaiian Hut where my buddy at Omni was throwing a party that all my friends go to. My hippie friend Hitler was supper stoaked on my fast.

I didn’t take the tea or SWF b/c I read somewhere that the Cayenne pepper is supposed to sit in your colon for the night to work the magic.
