I used to ask myself the same question when I was in my thirties. I knew that my body would naturally expel any impurities through natural body functions.

I did realize that I was putting way more in then what was coming out when I starting gaining weight. Eating less was not the problem, however being healthy became an issue.

My skin was not looking a clear as it has been and I began loosing energy and graving junk.I went to a preventive all natural consultant when the doctor said I was in good shape and was told to cleanse my body at least 4 times a year, to remove store unwanted waste.

I was told I would regain energy , feel lighter, and that my small aches and pains will decrease it not go away! Well I did like the way that sounded but looking through the expensive options I decided to go with the home remedy master cleanse. Which was less expensive.

Just Imagine....

• Inches off your waist
• Clearer skin
• Better health
• Organs that function better
• Lower cholesterol

It was a no brain-er, If Beyonce can do it so can I! Oh yeah, I found out she did it to get ready for the movie "Dream Girls". But this is no fad diet and shouldn't be used as one.

I had to change my diet before starting and eliminate somethings after. But regardless of what I end up doing I will promise to at least do a full cleanse 2 times a year.

FYI: You can cleanse just on the week end for maintenance or after a long bingingon the wrong foods.You should always check with your doctor before starting something like this. Sometimes you already have a health condition that won't allow this.

Either way here the story below and the experience...Before I forget you can learn more about home remedies at Natural Living for your body and household. Cleaner is better.

I have been eating many types of foods and enjoyed many things and good health was one of them, so I thought. But after I got into my forties I've been feeling sluggish and my waistline expanded. I've always taken decent care of my body but lately it didn't seem like enough.

I had extra weight, aches and pains that I refused to believe it was old age. I always heard about the master-cleanse but just knew that I couldn't handle the 10 days of not eating with my appetite. That has got to be impossible.

I decided to take the plunge after I was told my back and legs would feel better with less weight. I also did not want to pollute my body with medication when I knew the affects were from my years of pour eating habits.

I got all of the information then got my mind right to begin.

• Day 1 -3 Absolutely awful, horrible I tell you. Not the mix of water,lemon, grade b maple syrup and cayenne pepper, that was not bad at all. But the sea salt water you have to jump start your cleanse with every morning. I will not do this again. I am replacing it with the smooth move tea. That I take every evening to assist in my bowel movements . But the hunger pains. I would have given up if I was not over forty watching friends get on all types of medication. A this point I've began doing a lot of urinating.
• Day 3-5 Wow! What a surprise I was not hungry but food sure smelled good. Lordy Help Me! I didn't feel like I wanted to hurt someone for a bite of anything.The funny thing is I felt like I could now handle the coming days. I had energy too. This is amazing. I did not expect this at all. Still a lot of urinating. lost 5lbs
• Day 6 Wooooo!I got brave and took the sea salt water. It was horrible and worked in less than 10 minutes. Do not leave your house. What the heck is wrong with my stomach. I felt like I ate a cow or something. My stomach felt like a cow was coming out. I was very concerned, I have not eaten anything for days except the mix, what can really come out? I was still in denial about all the waste. Oh the horror, Unspeakable waste came out. Lost an instant 4-5 lbs!
• Day 6-1/2 Well needless to say I lost a good 5 lb of waste! EEW! I'll spare the horrid details. Just to think that was without eating for days. I still feel fine. I lost some energy when I neglected to drink my mix in the morning. Don't do that! The grade b maple has vitamins and is needed for energy!
• Day 7-10 Unbelievable! If I was not experiencing this myself I would not believe it. This is a crazy,scary,awful,disgusting and wonderfully cleansing experience! It does take a lot of will power.Lost 17lbs , wow it's crazy!

But believe me when I tell you. Your body should be cleaned at least once a year. At least! You will see yourself changing for the better. More energetic, friendly, peaceful, and slimmer. This is not a fad diet but it is a detox! The most important thing is good health. I still enjoy fine foods and home cooking!

My Side Affects: slimmer body, increased energy,joint aches gone,cravings gone, brighter skin,clean liver, lower cholesterol

P.S. I lost almost 3 inches in my waist, 1 1/2 came back in one week. I also gained 5lbs back.I quess that's the water from my body. But I do feel,look, and breath better. I stopped my back pain with a book called "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue . Don't let others prevent you from becoming the best you. Do this for your health. You only live once.

Here are a few step by step videos of this master cleanse detox from mixing to the experience. This is definitely for the committed. You change the oil in your car; why not your body?
