Today is the 6th day of The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs for me. I am not going to say that it has been exactly easy. I will just say it is entirely doable, and as the days go by it gets easier. Food thoughts come and go, and everyone handles them differently. When thoughts of food come, I remember two things, and when I do, I am okay. They are: 1) The reason for going on the cleanse, and 2) It is temporary. And a nice thought about temporarily givng up food is that some of us suddenly have free time from something that is done two or three times every day – shopping, preparing, cooking, and, of course, eating.
Today I went to University City in Philadelphia, opened the door to Penn Bookstore, and headed directly to the cookbook section. For some peculiar reason it is rather satisfying for me to read cookbooks when on the cleanse. There were three of Madjur Jaffrey’s on the shelf. She inspires in the way she writes about food, in the mouth watering pictures, and in the clarity of her recipes which tend to give the reader confidence in creating them with the same results.The book is worth buying just to look at those beautifully photographed pictures. It was eye-filling.
Now if one morning you wake up, and your first thought is: I want to go on the cleanse, there is a thin, yellow book by Stanley Burroughs waiting for you at a bookstore. It is to be followed without any exceptions. And if you want a coach in the form of a book, I have a good one; it is called Lose Weight, Have More Energy, Be Healthier in 10 Days by Peter Glickman. Also, here are a few interesting websites for support, if they are needed:
