It has now been 5 days since I finished the master cleanse.

The first day after I came off it, i followed the instructions for most of the day and just drank fresh orange juice. Late afternoon I moved onto smoothies and then I had a salad for dinner and I was fine. I had a smoothy for breakfast the following day and was in extreme agony with the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. I ate solid food and was fine and drank alcohol in the evening. I have completely gone off lager, that was a bit of a disappointment, I had to switch to cider and black.

My alcohol tolerance is still basically the same as it was before. My food tastes have changed. I do want things like salad more. I had a chinese yesterday and it tasted really really bland. My appetite has reduced and my eating habits have changed. I never feel hungry and I keep forgetting to eat. After a night out in the pub, my mates went to the chippy and I went home and made a salad. Mad!

I weighed myself yesterday and I’m now 9stone 6 which is brilliant. I haven’t been this weight since I was about 21 and I can fit into all my old clothes. I went shopping yesterday and it felt good being able to fit into everything I wanted, I bought myself an extremely short dress.

I feel fantastic, which was the whole point of doing the cleanse. I feel revitalised and healthy and am planning to do my next cleanse in a couple of months.
