Day 5... Master Slushie supreme.

Hi again. Day five of the Master Cleanse and all day long I have a web stream of fantasies in my head of all the different ways I can eat pork, ribs, bacon and cheese. I didn't have this urge when I was a sold out vegan. But when the experiment came to an end and I started thinking pretty hard about what to do next there was a window of time where I was in a state of quasi vegan-ism and I thought seriously about making a mad dash to a steak buffet restaurant, or having an all day meat-fest. Then I committed myself to the Master Cleanse, and now I feel hungry, but my stomach is not growling. I have reasonably good digestive health considering the way the Cleanse is going, and yet in the process the compulsion to eat badly has kicked in.

The whole point of the cleanse is to rid ourselves of toxins and to reduce unhealthy cravings. Can this be part of the process of detoxification?Are demons punching fist fulls of invisible bacon through the back of my head to get me to think about pork? Is this just a bad craving exiting the body? If you want to know more about the Master Cleanse I will attach the website that offers the original book for free. Just look at my links or click on Master Cleanse in this blog post itself. Another good book is Peter Glickman's "Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days" which, upon reading, indicates that this is really a promotion of, and is indebted to, the original Master Cleanse book by Stanley Burroughs

On the plus side (no pun intended) I did break a weight barrier, and I am down to 333.8 pounds -- a new low for me.

Just when you thought I couldn't get any lower... I invent the Master Cleanse Slushie, or the Italian ice water version of the awful maple-lemon-pepper drink that I love so much. And you know what, it tastes better than the recipe used. I just replace 75 percent of my water with ice and mix it all in the blender. I can tolerate it in frozen form. It even tastes okay over ice, but as a frozen drink it is best.

Until next time, I will be out until next Thursday, but I will try to get in a blog post here and there.

Talk to you soon folks!
