Bananas also constipate you…another reason not to eat them on a cleansing diet. We feed them to the elderly in nursing homes when they have diarrhea.

Just starting day 3..down 5.8 lbs..this so far has been the easiest cleanse I’ve ever done. Eating as much fruit as I want day 1..yes please…I already have a fairly clean diet as is..but starting a body building prep/cut..and been sick, tired, yet not sleeping, alot of other symptoms..so figured what better time then now for a detox/cleanse..by the end of day 2 I am tired and ready to go to bed instead of staying up late, tossing and turning. Ready for day 3!

I read about this Diet and have just completed it. No water concerned me but I was guessing the necessary fluid was being derived from the fruit, herbal tea and vegetables. I watched the video a few times and realised that herbal tea without caffeine was best ? Chamomile, peppermint & Rooibos/Red Bush which I sweetened with a little raw honey. I wasn’t peeing a lot, a concern, and not pooping at all as I’d expected. The 4 days was no problem and no discomfit and walked my usual 20 minutes a day. Day 5 & 6 and have pooped once only. Is this normal as I thought it was ‘way too long. Now I am drinking as much water and herbal teas as I can plus fibrous food.

I have done this Seneca diet cleanse every year for the past 5 years and I feel lighter, more energetic than after just a water fast. Highly recommend it, and plan to do it even more often to feel healthier.

In reply to skeptical. I studied with Hanna in Boulder, CO back in 1996 on one of her Peaceful Meadow retreats. I learned about this cleansing and I have done it many times; I have found it an awesome way to jumpstart a weight loss regimen. Hanna was amazing and always used common sense. RIP dear Hanna!!!??

In reply to jaji. I have read the Seneca Indian Diet. I am doing on my day 1 as we speak. It's not bad at all. I am looking forward to my more fruit dinner. Give it a try before giving up. It's a healthy alternative to juicing. bhing

I assume I can have as much water as I want on any of the 4 days?? The book I got the cleanse out of does not mention water but the book my dad got it out of years ago does.

I have done this diet before and it does work. Although a banana is a healthy fruit, it is not a water-based cleasning fruit like the other recommended fruits on the diet. It is normal to feel light headed and to feel other minor discomforts while on this diet or any other diet for that matter. You body is releasing loads toxins at a rapid pace. You will not feel like you are at a spa on vacation…of course you will feel the effects, but common sense should tell you to seek professional help should the symptoms worsen. Not everyone responds to any diet in the same way.

have done this diet annually for the past 6 or so years…i really feel excellent on day 5…the very first year i did it was the most difficult, of course you won’t feel well on day one or day 2 because your body is craving fatty and salty foods…right now, i’m in the middle of day 2 and this has been the easiest of all (so far)…i now have my wife doing it and it helps to have a partner at times…there are other ways to fast, but this is something positive to do at least once a year; i think i will do it 2x a year or will try something different…also, do not exercise other than maybe a less than hour walk…your need to replenish muscles with protein after exercising and this diet does not provide protein…i work out hard before the diet, so i know my body has the opportunity to rest for 4 days…good luck and enjoy the benefits.

Day Two

OK, before bed I ate the other half of my melon and drank some water. However, I slept well, and woke up feeling great. I drank a cup of coffee. I know, and two glasses of water. My stomach cramped a little but I had lots of energy and went to the park early to enjoy the cool morning. In Austin the days are often 100 degrees easy so a cool75 degree is golden. I had a walk in a butterfly garden, doodled and look at my goals for the weekend.

After more water and another cup of tea I went to work. I wait tables at a local restaurant. No hunger all and I had my usual glass of water with lemon mid-day. I had a lot of energy too. Coming home I was a bit grouchy but a glass of tea fixed me up. I am drinking an herbal mint with a teaspoon of honey.

Went shopping and was feeling OK but not great. Home finally at 7:30 I put on the kettle and did a meditation and a light stretch. I?ve just completed my tea and plan to relax and watch a movie. I?m sure I?ll have more water and tea before bed.

Tomorrow I will have vegetables. I can?t wait to eat a tomato from my garden! See you tomorrow.
