Donny and I started our cleanse yesterday and will last until May 9. My starting weight as of yesterday was 116.4, and I'm hoping to lose 10 pounds, which is realistic because I lose an average of a pound per day on it.
For all those who don't know, the cleanse consists of:
no carbs
no sugar (even natural sugar found in fruit)
low salt b/c you can't possibly eliminate all salt content)
no booze.
The toughest part is not being able to have a glass of wine after a rough day! The second toughest part is not sampling whatever yummyness Matthew is eating!
So what the heck do I eat???
Veggies, veggies, veggies
Meats, especially chicken and turkey
low/no fat cheeses and milk
almonds and seeds (unsalted)
natural peanut butter (very limited though)
low carb (blue can) Monster Energy Drink (or black coffee if that's your choice, but creamers are off limits)
>>>I also watch salt content in seasoning, cooking, and dressing! Mrs. Dash seasoning is great because there is no salt added. Remember that anything in a can will have a ton of sodium in it.
Additionally, we drink whey protein drinks and take a few supplements:
A Super Cleanse dietary supplement
Thermo CLA
A good multivitamin
Donny lost six pounds yesterday, and I lost almost a pound.
Wish me luck:o)

Great info Patti! I want to do it too, so I'll have to make a shopping list & menu plan before I start. Keep us posted on your progress!
Seriously? You can lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks? Wow.
