I'm on day 10 of my first Master Cleanse. Everything's gone well. My question is this: I'm supposed to drink fresh squeezed orange juice tomorrow and I don't really want to. I've never been real fond of it and I'm feeling really OD'd on sweetened lemonade. I can barely stand the thought of drinking all that orange juice, or anything else that's sweet, for that matter. Has anyone ever broken a fast in some other way? I would appreciate your experience. Thanks!

I've heard of someone using diluted carrot juice. take that for what you will.

how about fresh apple juice? i'd prob water it down a bit.

If you've maxed out on all that sweet, try green juices for coming off the fast. And congratulations on doing 10 days.

I did the MC for 7 days on and 3 days off and another 7 on. I was like you, I couldn't stomach the though of any more lemonade or lemons for that matter.

I believe they recommend a vegetable soup which is cooked. I think the apple, green juice, or green raw soup would help. I did a 10 day water fast about 3 mos ago that I ended with a raw apple. I think I could only eat half of it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I was supposed to have only freshly squeezed orange juice for the first day and then the same for half of the second day - ending the day with veg. soup for dinner. I was trying to "go by the book" and had been 100% successful with the cleanse itself. But the orange juice wasn't keeping my appetite at bay and my blood sugar kept plummeting. So I added a lemonade and that helped. By the end of the day - I was DONE! I made myself some raw veg. soup with a miso base and ate a small bowl.

While I was making the soup, I nibbled on two paper thin slices of zucchini. I went orgasmic in the kitchen! My husband came to see what all the comotion was about. Best food that I EVER ate! I couldn't believe how much flavor is in a simple little slice of plain old zucchini!

Afterwards, I went to a party with friends and drank a cup of Teecchino (coffee substitute). No gas, no nausea and no problems at all.

All in all - it was a great experience and I'm feeling super after my first cleanse. I really did get tired of the sweetness of the maple syrup in the lemonade drink - that's my only complaint.
