I try to check in from time to time - I would like to see more people here. I am basically on the starch solution, or the McDougall plan. (except I eat more fruit than he recommends). I am finally seeing some results.

Day 2 - What a difference, today was rough, wow! How can anyone go to work while doing this master cleanse? You pee out your rectum all day long. Sorry if that is too much information, but if you are thinking of doing this cleanse, you need to know - you are going to be running to the restroom A LOT! And most likely you…

Day one... Almost done with today. I am only doing a two day this time because it is my first time trying, and I just want to get a sample of what it will be like. The next time I will do an 8 day MC. I LOVE that I get to taste maple syrup and/or molasses all day. I felt pretty darn good all day, except for a slight…

Well I am almost done with my first day. I hope tomorrow goes just as smoothly. I am really digging a cleanse where I get to taste maple syrup or molasses all day! No decrease in energy, in fact, I took an hour walk to the store and another hour back. (this is a LOT for me). I will report more in the "one day" section of…

When I stopped consuming all dairy, my debilitating migraines went away. I tried consuming dairy again, the migraines came back. I did this several times to be sure. I finally gave up milk permanently, I have not had migraines since. (Full disclosure, I have been a vegetarian for several years, so I guess now that makes me…

I've decided only to do two days. Just to get a preview of what it will be like when I am able to do it for 10 days. I found out I have too much responsibilities this weekend to do the 10 day. I assume one is not supposed to do heavy exercise, especially in the first 5 days.

I am going to start my first attempt tomorrow - wish me luck - heh - I will try to post results. I am already vegan, I hope that helps make it a smoother ride.

I have come to prefer brown rice. In the beginning it was harder to like brown rice, but then I realized it makes me feel fuller, and I realized it has more flavor than white. I feel more satiated with brown rice.

I am realizing even though Dr. McDougall says you don't have to count calories and you can eat as much as you want, that simply is not true for me.(maybe because I am so short). I do have to count calories or I can't lose. I can eat like nobody's business! -hah! I am currently on the McDougall Maximum weight loss- it's…

Oh, totally, my acid reflux disappeared immediately after starting this diet.

You go to a church or community potluck and the only thing you can eat, is what you brought. You get super excited because you found hummus on a restaurant menu.

I am in my late 40's, I am 5'2.5 and a little over 200 lbs. It had not occurred to me that because I am short I would have to eat less than the normal person. It is really hard for me to eat less than 1600 calories a day. I would be hungry all the time. I am desperate to lose weight. Is there no other way than to feel…

Hah hah! I think you are right! You should follow their example :)
