Don’t fart!
One participant of the Master Cleanse reported “sissing” her pants while another talked about “pissing out of his ass”. In the most graphic terms, what they meant was that when they passed gas or had a bowel movement, it was slightly damp—something like shitting and pissing combined.
Honey your stink turns me off!
Many Master Cleanse participants report having a heightened sense of smell during and after completing the Master Cleanse. They tell us that family and friends smell like mucous or fried food and that strong chemical or food smells turn them off.
Is dirt a topping for pizza?
If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know what it’s like to have cravings for funny foods. Many Master Cleanse dieters tell stories about the strong and often strange foods they crave while doing the diet. Everything from Sushi to pizza to hamburgers to dirt. Most often these cravings are for the most unhealthy foods you’ve been used to eating, but the cravings do subside in time. Cravings for things like cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, and tea will also diminish over time.
The toilet dash
“I was running to the bathroom every half hour!” That’s a common story heard from people doing the Master Cleanse. First, this is because you are drinking much more liquid than you normally would, causing you to urinate more frequently. Second, both the laxative tea and the salt water flush will spur on bowel movements, sending some people running for the bathroom! Unfortunately, not everyone makes it there in time, but with the right preparations and ample room in your schedule, this shouldn’t be your story!
Hey look at my poop!
If you have never examined your poop or aren’t used to talking about your bowel movements, be prepared! You will be encouraged to do both throughout the Master Cleanse Diet. It may seem strange, but it’s important to visually inspect your bowel movements to see the progress you’re making over the course of the diet. Some people have bowel movements of only bile—a bright yellow liquid-mucus type substance. Others have talked about poopy flakes. And still others report pooing out tiny turdlettes. The poop experiences are as diverse as the people doing the diet and will mark your transition from one stage to another.
Increase in pregnancies?
Perhaps some of you won’t consider this a laughing matter, but some have suggested that the Master Cleanse Diet actually was the cause of so many celebrity pregnancies in recent years. In a celebrity newsreel, they surmised that the Master Cleanse can actually reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills and with so many female celebrities using it to lose weight fast, there was an increase in pregnancies.
