Mend Your Diet

Anyone done that lemonade/cayanne/detoxing thing?

I really need to lose those extra pounds I've been lugging around since my son was born a year ago, and I want to kick off my diet with this detoxing thing. Anyone done it? Was it really that bad, or is it something that gets better in a couple of days? No, I'm not opposed to working out; I love exercising, actually. But I have 2 jobs and a 1 year old. I really don't have time, and when I do, I'm so exhausted. I'm hoping my busy schedule and healthier eating habits will be enough to burn enough calories to allow me to lose weight. I was just curious about the lemonade detox plan.

1. Nope, I've never done that. I cut sugar from my diet 9 months ago and have lost 12 pounds without trying.
2. Ive heard of it but haven't tried it, it's what those skinny celebs in LA do, and if it works for them, it will probably work for you.
3. I have done the detox you are thinking about trying. Its amazing! Although, it was probably one of the hardest and most disciplined things I have ever done in my life. Day 3 is by far the worst day. I did it for 14 days, my sister went 21 days. Plus the additional 3 days it takes to slowly reintroduce food to your body. Its bad, I'm not going to lie or try to mislead you, but its so worth it in the end. And I definitely understand about the busy schedule, I work two jobs and go to college full-time so I can relate! If you really want to try this detox find the book The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs at your local book store. It is only like 4 bucks, or you could just read it there. This detox is truly meant to cleanse your body of the built up toxins naturally. No pills or teas or drinks, its all natural products made by mother-earth herself. The detox is not meant for losing weight, however if you are not your ideal weight you are going to drop some pounds. This detox was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but afterwards... WOW what a difference. I plan on doing it at least once a year from now on. I hope this helps, and it truly is a fantastic way to cleanse the body!
