The Master Cleanse Symptoms are quite similar to detox side effects. Let's look at the few types of common side effects experienced:Headache
This is widely experienced among the heavy caffeine drinkers. So people have the habits of drinking quite few rounds of tea or coffee a day will most likely undergo severe headaches. However, the good news is the headache is not going to be experienced throughout the 10 days. It is actually for a short period of probably 3 - 4 days. This is also the best chance for you to kick the habit of relying on caffeine to keep yourself awake and alert.
Cravings and Hunger
Most people before starting the Lemonade Diet would already be concerned about the cravings and hunger aspect. Interestingly, the whole time that I am going through the Master Cleanse I found myself having more craving issues rather than hunger. I can easily resolve the hunger by drinking a glass of the lemonade juice.
It is the hallucination of all those hamburgers, fries and coke is actually considered craving rather than hunger. If you do not mind eating an apple to curb the supposed hunger, then it is definitely hunger and not a craving. Cravings are actually our body's temptation for the unhealthy diet and habitual bad food we have been consuming all along. Therefore, even after drinking another glass of lemonade and you are still feeling hungry would be more likely be an issue of craving rather than hunger.
Tiredness
You might be thinking that this Master Cleanse symptoms must be wrongly indicated since most people say that they feel energized after the cleanse. During the beginning of the lemonade diet your body is actually garnering the necessary energy to clear all accumulated toxins in your body. The more toxins you have, the more energy is required to do the detoxification.
Bowel Movements
You will feel an increase in the frequency of your bowel movement with softer feces. This is a good sign as they are represent good clearance and elimination process on-going in your body. Some people might actually have watery bowel movements. This is actually fine but if it persists for more than 2 days or more, it is important to consult a medical professional.
It is also a common experience to feel a burning sensation. This can last up to even up to 7 days. It is believed that toxins are successfully been eliminated. Since the toxins are acidic so it gives you the burning feeling. This is also a good sign that the detoxification is effectively been done.
It is to be noted that days 2, 3, and 7 are generally the worst the moment of the Master Cleanse symptoms. So being mentally prepared for these side effects would assist you to not give up easily. It would not be good to keep thinking that these side effects never go away. It actually happens in different sections of the program.
