this
isn't so much about day 7 per se
it's more about
my thoughts on the master cleanse thus far
like i said before
i started with lemon juice and cayenne
maybe a couple weeks before
i think that's why my body wanted me to stop eating
so it could catch up with the detox
so when i tell you this stuff
(and it might be kinda gross
you might not want to read this)
it's not just a 7 day effect
but
there are parts of me
that i thought:
well that's all firm
must be all muscle
nuh uh
the texture of the fat has changed
which makes it harder to look at myself
because
now it's all fat looking
that's the down side
but it isn't really
because
now it looks like something that doesn't belong
and must go
which can't ultimately be a bad thing
but
in the short term
i look fatter to me
the up side is
a bunch of stuff
i thought all my chronic pain was gone
nuh uh
much less now
i thought my range of motion
was pretty good
(for my age)
since i have been mildly detoxing for months
nuh uh
much better now
but
the weird thing is
i can see
tangibly
how those things
might actually improve
yet still more
like maybe there could be
a couple more
i thought it wasn't bad before
moments
i totally see why people are tempted
to go on ridiculously long bouts of master cleanse
i see it
but
i think it is flawed reasoning
it cannot be good
to make your body
stay in hard core detox mode
can it
anyway
unless i have some whack come-to-jesus moment
i think 10 days is going to be all
this time
which doesn't mean
i'll stop detoxing
but
this feels too active
and violent
to make me think i should continue longer
(and
in the spirit of full disclosure
i should mention
i think
i'm probably taking much more cayenne
than is probably meant
because
it said you could take 2 cayenne capsules
if you couldn't deal with the taste
or a fairly small amount of cayenne mixed in
so i'm doing the capsules
but
that means
i'm taking 2 x 100,000btu x 6
and i suspect
it meant
something 40,000btu
or less)
but
seriously
i keep kinda fantasizing
about doing a cartwheel
stupid stuff
this was a very good decision i think
