- This experiment has taken an interesting twist: I felt fine yesterday for the first time since I began this silly program. There were very few hunger pains despite not having a bite of solid food in four days.
- The first two days, upon reflection, were very hard. Almost like the initial feelings of weakness when the flu is coming on.
- But I felt good enough yesterday, and had enough energy, to jog.
- I bought some of that "special tea" to help the cleaning process. (I finally had to break down and ask the clerk where it could be located. Ugh.)
- While waiting to check out with the tea, I saw the "The Master Cleanser" book. Unfortunetaly, right beside it was the book by known scam artist Kevin Trudeau. (Pic above.)
- And I continued to drink the salt water at night which gave rise to this realization: The tea serves to aid the cleansing process by, uh, loosening things up.
- And, although I'll keep most of this to myself, the cleansing process (which is supposed to remove gunk that has built up in your system for years) has become fascinating.
- This is not supposed to be about weight loss, but I'm very surprised about how little weight I've lost. But I've always been that way. Diet for three weeks and see little result only to have the weight come off the following week.
- And my Dallas nemesis sent yet another text last night: ""Grilled flank steak with cheese filled bacon wrapped in jalapenos." (These are coming from girl who is skinny as a rail, by the way.)
Mood: Optimistic
Feeling: About 90% of normal
Weight loss: 3 lbs (OK, I dropped the "-" sign to be technically correct)

Barry, I noticed a much more overt political bent to your blog since beginning the cleanse. Go have some real food.
Here, I'll be the first to fall for Barry's troll bait- "After serving time for criminal activity in the early 1990s, Trudeau partnered with his former cellmate, and they joined Nutrition for Life, a multi-level marketing firm, where they were very successful. However, he and his partner were sued by the Illinois Attorney General for running a pyramid scheme. Trudeau and his company entered into a settlement with Illinois and seven other states for $185,000"
"Trudeau was convicted of fraud and larceny in the early 1990s. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued him repeatedly. A court order currently restricts his ability to promote and sell any product or service; however, he is permitted to promote books and other publications due to free-speech protection under the First Amendment as long as they are not used to promote or sell products or services and do not contain misrepresentations.
On "November 19, 2007, a court found Trudeau in contempt of that court order for making deceptive claims about his book The Weight Loss Cure They" Don't Want You to Know About. In October 2008, he was fined more than $5 million and banned from infomercials for three years for continuing to make fraudulent claims pertaining to the book." wikidpedia
I read once that back in the days when prisoners were thrown in solitary and given only bread and water, the inexperienced prisoners ate the small ration of bread and spent their entire time in solitary miserable and hungry. The smart ones made a pillow out of the bread and just drank the water. They experienced a couple of days of hunger, but eventually the lack of food caused a kind of euphoria, so that they spent their time more or less stoned.
You may have addressed this earlier and I'm too lazy to look it up -- are you taking any kind of nutritional supplements during this? It seems like your electrolytes or something could get jacked up.
When your pipes are washed out, then what? You go back to eating what you normally do, and almost immediately your pipes are back to where they were before. Washing dishes means they stay clean only until you use them again.
The cleansing process has become "fascinating"???
Enough Said!!!
Are rails really skinny?
I would suggest before someone goes and does what you are doing that they get themselves a colonoscopy. They clean you out pretty good before you get one. If the doctor doesn't see any disease and if they don't see this build up of stuff that you think you are getting rid of, then maybe you are doing something that is totally useless for your body.
Have you found that penny I made you swallow in 3rd grade yet?
Double Fake Class Bully
So you feel like you're watching the movie Alien when you view the results of the cleanse, is that what you're saying?
and HAHAHAHAHA at the class bully
No rails are simply size fours, which are HUGE in Dallas.
Moo!
I read Richie Whitt's columns too, and I've been gearing up to the do the Master Cleanse myself. I don't actually believe the nonsense about getting "toxins" out of your body; I just think it's a good kick in the ass way to start a year of eating better (and a good jumpstart in looking good in my speedo this summer.) Then I got sick with some virus and got cleansed the old fashioned way, and now I'm not so sure I'm eager to repeat the process even under my own control.
I don't think it is a good idea to jog when your calorie intake is near zero. I suspect your blood sugar is way low and you would be a candidate to "pass out". Not good when you are dodging traffic in upper suburbia.
Trudeau is a dousche.
I don't know why I think of the Kennedy family when I see his name.
Some of this is just fad and likely dangerous.
Sensible weight loss plus exercise is the healthiest way.
Weight watchers is the best and is even doctor recommended.
Now Barry, think of all the water you use flushing with that cleansing........and all those trees for toilet paper?
Al Gore's gonna get ya.
