Dear Collin,
I know your plan was to do the Master Cleanse diet for 10 days,
you had it all mapped out, pumped yourself up & even mentally prepared for it!
But let's face it, the fact that you only drank a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup & cayenne pepper
(+ sea salt shots) for 24 hours was a victory in my eyes!! Tonight I'll use the syrup
& make you some yummy pancakes! :)
Love,
Lizzy
That's hilarious and sweet! :)
ReplyDeletetell him he's better off - you can die from the master cleanse! he looks awesome anyway. on diet needed.
ReplyDeleteIf you use that syrup for pancakes, he might gag! Unless he likes rancid tasting black licorice:)
ReplyDeleteOh boy!! I did the master cleanse for 10 days. 10 very, very long days. After day two I could not longer drink the concoction. Instead I drank the lemon juice separately, the maply syrup by the spoonful and the cayenne pepper on it's own. Afterwards....chug, chug, chug the water. Much easier for me at least. I didn't do the sea salt I was forwarned about it. I did however use the "Smooth Move" tea. That's all I'll say about that. I lost 14 lbs. and kept 10 of it off. Not bad. At least Collin tried. Not sure why though...you both look pretty fit.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone want a bucket of organic lemons? :)
ReplyDeleteThat drink sucked.
I'm gonna go pound some Ho-Ho's.
That's ok. Dr.s say it does not really do anything for you anyways other than starving you!
ReplyDeleteYou should make brazillian lemonade from all those leftover lemons like they make at Tucanos. Oh wait, you need limes for that. It's a super yummy drink nonetheless. It has sweetened condensed milk in it. Soooo delightful and heavenly!!
ReplyDeleteOh Collin,
ReplyDeleteThis cleansing sounds terrible! Good for you for giving it a shot!
When life gives you lemons make lemonade (litterally) You have a bucket of lemons left!
i heard that beyonce did a lemonade cleanse before she did dreamgirls... maybe you could nix the maple syrup and cayenne pepper?
ReplyDelete24 hours is longer than me and my hubby lasted.......:)
ReplyDeleteThat stuff is n.a.s.t.y.
Wow, I can't even imagine trying something like that! Enjoy the hohos and pancakes!
ReplyDeleteeeeewwwww, you are one brave man to try that!!!.....
ReplyDeleteMy brother did that cleanse, told me it was the longest 10 days of his life...Good try tho, more than I would do!
ReplyDelete24 hours is a VERY GOOD VICTORY - i tried that diet for what was supposed to be 7 days, and only made it 3 hours - drinking syrup? disgusting - who are you kidding - the pancakes sounds SO MUCH BETTER!!!! enjoy
ReplyDeleteHello cute Kartchner family...
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled here, while hopping around old high school friends' blogs... :) and I thought I'd say hi, and also: #1: your kids are THE cutest little girls, and I'd be concerned that someone will try to kidnap you to produce a new, more beautiful species. #2: Liz, you were always so nice, but I never knew you were the most talented crafter/photographer/decorator on earth. and #3: isn't that the crazy diet that nearly killed Kelly Kapoor?!?!?! Crazy!
Hope you don't mind if I plan on checking in on your cute site again! :)
just love the tip you gave us to get larger pictures in the blog by loading them to a album first.. but my whole pictures doesn't show.. how do you remove the side-space on the blog so that you can use the whole screen to blog on?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds gross, I woudl be surprised if any one could make it a day on that diet. At least he gets pancakes out of the deal. ; )
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteeeeeeew!! well kudos to him for making it to 24 hours!! the pancakes sound much better though....(-:
ReplyDeleteI found my neighbor face down on her drive way, passed out, on day 12 of her cleanse... there has got to be a better way. really. Who is Colin...Kelly from The Office?
ReplyDeletehey Liz. Your husband is so brave!!!!!!! I know of a better, much easier, and you can eat on it cleanse that is great. No moaning and groaning for 10 days and you feel awesome afterwards. It is an advocare product if your interested you can check it out on advocare.com/06111491. Just a suggestion. there are so many crazy cleanses out there that most people don't make it through because it is awful. Hang in there Collin. Check this other cleanse out . Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanx! whith what you told me + my littlebrother on the phone I'm sattisfied with my blog now.. Many thanx!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brave guy!! I saw that diet on "The Doctors", the cool medical show on CBS. They said it was NO GOOD. So feed him those pancakes and he can hold off on dessert, if he wants! :)
ReplyDeleteThat letter is so sweet.
Cute! I hear not many people survive the master clense. Nice of you to be so supportive!
ReplyDeleteoh my I tried this once - couldn't stand the smell - YUCK - getting sick thinking about it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOk, that sounds absolutely disgusting! Collin, I am sure you made it 23 hrs and 59 mins longer than a lot of people!
ReplyDeletei am laughing so hard right now...i just finished the master cleanse on thursday! it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteUgh! That sounds awful. Trying to lose weight is the pits. What happened to my metabolism??? I used to could eat anything and not gain a pound, now looking at food makes my thighs fat. LOL
ReplyDeleteI know the problem...2 kids and a husband. Dang them! They make me all happy & exhausted, and so therefore I have no desire to exercise or stop eating.
Love your blog!
I just picked up the IRON GYM for my hubby {per his request} and he started spouting off all of the guidlines he is now going to follow. Then it said that he needed to drink 73 ounces of water and eat broccoli. He balked and didn't even try it for 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so funny!!
P.S. I have downloaded so many songs from your playlist ~ Thanks!
So many people visiting your site, yours' must be a very popular site indeed. I shall keep searching for informative material on your site.
ReplyDeleteDiet Cleanse
Well, you gave it the good old college try, Collin! Wtg for making it as long as you did. Now, those lemons could go for some homeade lemonade. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. :)
I took ONE dose of the cleanse--ONE and lost all control of my bowels--during the dance carpool! I think that it is probably not such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny....I think 24 hours is an achievement too! Enjoy the pancakes!
ReplyDeleteAmber
That is super funny! I tried it for about 24 hours myself. :)
ReplyDeletei'll go on the ho-ho diet with you collin!
ReplyDeletep.s. you're coming with me when i pull out the road bike, i am too scared of those feet clips.
Congrats on having your cute love page featured in the SIS newsletter! I love it! =)!!
ReplyDelete24hours...well done! My mother used to do this all the time (15 years ago) she swears by it if you can do it. I've done the drink but never to fast. Fun stuff, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletei've tried also... lasted for about 15 minutes. i couldn't even finish one glass of that nasty stuff! it's awful.
ReplyDeleteI did this for a full 10 days before I went to Hawaii and it worked but like everyone says its suck'd! The 1st two days are the worst, it gets easier after that, but its really hard to come off the diet, I didnt feel like eating anything I usually like. And being in Hawaii with lots of $$$ to spend on yummy food, it was a bummer.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering...what version of photoshop do you use? thanks!
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmmm, i tried that one once....YUCK....that's all I'm gonna say!
ReplyDeleteYUCK, YUCK, YUCK!
are you taking unrelated scrapbooking Q&As? Would love to know if you liked the sleepywrap? I'm shopping around for a sling and wanted mommy input...debvog@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
When you are ready to try it, you can talk yourself into anything! Even if you ARE forewarned about the sea salt!!! Persoanlly, I could only take 2.5 days. Halfway through day 3 I couldn't take it anymore. I don't blame him - it certainly doesn't get better or easier. "A" for effort :)
ReplyDeletehahahahahaha thats hilarious I totally would have done it with him I have always wanted to try something like that. I can see him now.
ReplyDeleteThe Master Cleanse is great! I do it yearly, every January. If you can get through day 4, it gets much easier. Those are the days when your body is dumping the toxins and junk in your body. You will not feel great those first few days especially if you eat a lot of sugar, coffee, or soda. Toward the end of the cleanse, I have SO much energy.
ReplyDeleteNo it won't kill you and most traditional doctors pooh, pooh it.
Jill
would love to see you continue to show your scrapbooking stuff
ReplyDeleteA VERY IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MOM:
ReplyDeleteWhile in California I met with Lucco Crisale of "Exercise and Nutrition Works" in Irvine.
He has had clients who have done the MC and one lost 13 pounds....of muscle and water...and gained 4 pounds of fat.
Don't do it for fat loss! It will slow your metabolism, force your body to cannibalize the muscle since you eat no protein while on it for ten days. Yes, it won't kill you. But what are your goals? Lose fat? or clean the colon?
Just drink your Kangen water to clean that ol' colon!
Love you guys....Mom/Kit
I also lasted one day. I also ended up eating pancakes....yum! I love real maple syrup....
ReplyDeleteyour blog is sooo fun!!!
Lemon juice acts as a natural hair lightner and skin bleach which reduces the pigment melanin and prevents the risk of chemical allergic reactions which is common with hair dyes and bleaches.
