Most experience dieters would tell you that most people fail on the cayenne pepper diet (master cleanse) because of the 2 main reasons. The first 3 days are actually the most difficult phase of the diet and once you get through it, the rest of the days will be easier. Most people feel that their body will protest the fact that they are starving and not eating solid foods. To summarize all the failures of most people, they failed because
- They do not have enough mental preparations before they embark on the diet
- Their hunger gets a control on them.
When we say that they lack of adequate mental preparation, people usually thought they can just go straight into the diet as and when they like. Some of the people think that master cleanse cannot be that difficult, or they did not realize the importance of mental preparations.
Why is mental preparation important?
Master cleanse is a diet involve high level of determination and perseverance in order to get rid of all the toxins and waste that are stuck in our body for the whole of our life. In order to eliminate all of these waste and toxins, we would need to allow our body to cleanse itself by not taking in more foods and having only the lemonade mixture only. It also involves our body adjusting to all the changes and forcing our body to purge out all of them out. Hence it is considered a “tough” process for most of us to endure through the temporary hardships.

What about controlling your hunger? Why are we hungry?
Controlling the hunger and not give in to temptations are 2 of the most important elements in this diet. Most of the people failed because they give in to temptations and say they will start the diet again tomorrow.
When our body is low on energy, our brain would send signals to us to tell when we are hungry. These signals or chemicals are called neurotransmitters which would alert our senses to look out for food. It will tell the body to look for foods because “I’M HUNGRY”.
Another reason why we feel hungry is because today we are living in a world that is full of distractions and entertainment. Our environment is constantly bombarding us with tons of marketing messages to attract our attention. We are living in a world where all our senses want to be entertained. Regardless of whether we are hungry or not, we eat because our nose and tongue want to be entertained.
It has becoming a fact that sometimes we are using food as a form of distraction from our problems and our lives. And whenever we faced a problem, some of us would turn to food to escape from reality.
Now you know the reasons behind why we are hungry, you can control the hunger better.
