Purpose

Just before the New Year began, I began the Master Cleanse.  For those of you that don't know what the Master Cleanse is, I will quickly explain.  

Morning - salt water flush consisting of sea salt and water 

Day - spicy lemonade composed of organic lemons, organic grade b maple syrup and cayenne pepper 

Evening - laxative tea

I managed to get through about five days, but the Master Cleanse is supposed to be done for a minimum of ten days.  I got so excited about a raw food diet that I stopped early to embark on my journey with raw food.  I've been eating mostly raw since then.  

Last week, I justified eating cooked vegan potatoes.  Wish I hadn't... one thing led to another.  A second day of eating potatoes.  Then, pizza and then, eventually, mexican food.  My headaches came back.  I gained weight and I felt cranky as hell.

So, I've embarked on the MC (Master Cleanse) journey again.  Today, my diet consisted of only orange juice in preparation.  I'm about to drink the laxative tea and will begin my cleanse with the hope that I will get through all ten days.  

My ultimate goal, is to go back to a raw vegan diet and have an easier time sustaining it.  I had no problem sustaining a 100% raw diet for several weeks.  During this time, I quit my migraine medication and welbutrin, which I first started taking to quit smoking.  

Many people on the MC find it helpful to blog about their experiences.  I just learned quite a bit from one person's blog and was inspired.  

My friends also ask me about my raw lifestyle on a regular basis, so this is for all of you that may be curious.
