6:15 PM: I started the lemonade diet last night ( or this morning) at 12:01! My last supper ( Ha!) was cheese pizza.....YUM. I prepared my drink this morning in a gallon jug. It's almost 7:00 PM and I'm not even half way done with half of it yet. The drink isn't too bad except for the cayenne pepper... It makes it really spicy! It's hard to drink anymore I'm so full of liquid. I'm sure its psychological but I'm not even hungry. I'm sure I'll be starving tomorrow. So far today I feel pretty good except I'm starting to get a headache and I'm pretty sleepy. Tonight will be the first night of the herbal laxative tea. It's called "Smooth Move" ha.. ironic.
* Tips: If anyone wants to try this diet use all organic products, after all the detox is to get all of the preservatives and bad things out of your body. Trader Joes is the only way to go when shopping for the ingredients. Organic Grade B pure Maple Syrup is about $20.00 a bottle at Haggen & only $8 at trader Joes. I didn't realize how much of everything I'd actually need.. .a gallon takes 5 lemons, 10 cups of water, 1 1/4 cup maple syrup, and a teaspoon cayenne pepper.
I'll update after my "Smooth Move" tea... maybe :)

The Master Cleanse
I am one of millions of people that has decided that I need to live my life healthier. I mean I am pretty healthy I'm a vegetarian so I eat plenty of fruits & vegetables, I eat organic, don't drink much besides water.... etc. etc. But I also enjoy ice cream, Vanilla lattes, chips.... etc. etc. So i started thinking I'd love to be even healthier. I've heard from others personal experience as well as blogs etc. that the Master Cleanse helps rid your body of harmful toxins. Here's a brief runthrough of what this cleanse is.
It's a concoction made up of lemons, pure grade B maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. You drink a gallon of it during the day, drink an herbal laxative tea at night, and in the morning you drink a salt water flush. The diet ( I am going to call it the diet from here on out but I hope you realize it isn't a diet to lose weight- so don't try it if that's what you're after. It's a start to a complete life change) helps rid your body of toxins that have been built up in your intestines and colon for years..... YUCK. I warn you that this isn't going to be pleasant blog, I'm trying to tell the truth about what is happening to educate others that maybe want to try to do the same thing! If you have a sensitive stomach you probably shouldn't read this.... I've heard of what comes out of the body and I'm excited to rid my body of it so I can start a new healthier lifestyle.
So If you don't have a weak stomach and are interested to see if I can survive 10 days then I invite you to read on!
