Detox Stages

I'm halfway through Day 2 and I'm getting VERY HUNGRY. Yesterday was a breeze (suprislingly) as I normally eat small meals all day long every couple of hours. I slept well, energy levels were up and was totally fine until about an hour ago and my stomach won't stop grumbling. I'm not craving any food in particular (or really eating) but I wish the grumbling would go away.

I love the tea, love the drinks and have no issue with the SWF. I just dont want to drink too much of the Lemonade (Day 1 I had 10 glasses, today i'm on glass 7 and it's noon).

Try seeing the lemonades as meals and spread them out and drink water for thirst in between.

I'm halfway through Day 2 and I'm getting VERY HUNGRY ... and was totally fine until about an hour ago and my stomach won't stop grumbling. I'm not craving any food in particular (or really eating) but I wish the grumbling would go away. I just dont want to drink too much of the Lemonade (Day 1 I had 10 glasses, today i'm on glass 7 and it's noon).

I was the same way with the stomach grumbling. I kind of made a game out of by seeing if anyone else could hear my stomach and imagining what the reaction would be ... lol. But, when it grumbles too loud, I drink as much water as possible to make that empty feeling subside.

What modernmonkey said. I write down my "meals" to make sure I don't go overboard. Before I mix a fresh lemonade drink, I ask myself if I'm hungry (actually ready for a meal) or just thirsty because they say thirst and hunger can be confused. At any rate, I drink a big glass of water first ... to be certain that what I'm feeling isn't just thirst.

I just sat down to have my last 'meal' of the day (2 cups of lemonade to make a total of 12 today) and I realized I was thirsty and downing the drink! I took a step back and just filled up 32 oz of fresh water and realized I really was thirsty - I just drank the whole thing in a matter of minutes! I will now try to really enjoy the juice and not gulp it down due to pure thirst. (I actually am still hungry, but no longer thirsty!).

Don't forget you can have herbal teas too. Another option for ya!

Actually, the only tea other than your lax tea allowed on the MC is mint tea, and only 1 cup per day or less. No other herbal teas allowed while cleansing. Fine for later, of course!

Day 4 - two questions.

1. What if you tongue goes back to pink before the 10th day? I'm assuming keep going? Mine had a pink strip yesterday (day 3) and today is almost back to pink, I'm guessing by tomorrow it will be completely pink!

2. Has anyone ever experienced cramping in their feet? I'm assuming this is a symptom similar to headaches. I'm prone to headaches and feet/hand cramping, but haven't had any in a while, and for days 1 through most of 3 was fine, last night my feet cramped a bit and a dull headache formed this morning.

Thanks!

Meat contains certain protiens and ammino acids. "Detox" is what happens when these elements are expelled from the body and not replaced.

Thanks for the article! It's helpful to know what exactly is happening to my body while I'm feeling all these things. Although Idon't think I'm having the same symptoms as most other people. Today is the 2nd day for me and every second I'm thinking about food. Healthy or unhealthy and I spent a good hour last night crying because I felt so emotionally/physically miserable. Does this happen to anyone else r am I just crazy?
