Master Cleanse Day 1

Weight 208

Yesterday I started my lemonade diet. The drink actually tastes pretty good, the cayenne gives it the flavor of the little mexican candies. It's pretty difficult to not eat for a day, it's a habit to eat. I snack a lot or so it seems. I did take a few bites of a rice cake, I have to admit.

Every time I feel hungry I just drink the lemonade mixture and the hunger goes away. It must be the maple syrup. I haven't felt any pain after a day, however I was extremely tired and slept until 11:30 am! I couldn't believe the clock when I woke up.

Good news is I've already lost 3 pounds.

Blogging the Master Cleanse Diet

After seeing it on LA Ink I have embarked on the task of trying to survive on the master cleanse diet.

The cleanse is a lemonade drink made with lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. While you are on this diet you aren't suppose to eat any food, just drink this drink.

  • 2 tablespoons FRESH squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons genuine organic maple syrup, Grade B (the darker the better)
  • 1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper, gradually increase
  • 300 - 500 ccm (10-14 oz) pure water

Instead of making it by the cup, I made a large pitcher, the recipe is easier, just takes a while to squeeze that much lime!

  • 60 oz water per day (or 10 oz per glass)
  • 12 tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
  • 12 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
  • a little over half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or 1/10 tsp. per glass) or to taste

I will be blogging my progress.
