My last meal was at 10 P.M. yesterday. I am now nuking some food. It will be good. Food any food is awesome when on starve status.

How could u go that long? u must've been hella busy lol
not one little snack in between???

I did this lemonade diet (same one Beyonce did and lost 20 lbs.) which is a fast for 10 days of drinking this lemonade concoction and surprisingly it works . . . . I truly didn't think I could fast for that long but when you start seeing the results that fast, it keeps you going.

Unfortunately, most people that do this usually gain half the weight back but you're body during the fast is getting rid of many many years of toxins and gunk . . . .I loved it the first time I've done it several times since

and the minute you taste food after that long is like you died and went to food heaven, every taste bud in your mouth is re-born, it's crazy!!

Omg...I was considering doing that
I dont think I can.
I like to snack

Fasting is one of the best things you can do for health

The most healthful way to eat food though is raw

Yea it does take some will power but if you can make it past day 3, you'll feel so proud of yourself, you get this crazy energy, you stop craving food, and you look at the scale and say "Are you SERIOUS??"

But I recommend it just for the sake of cleansing your body and ridding it of toxins, not just as a way to lose weight . . . .

Does the drink taste bad?

ThreadCula said:

Yeah but after the first day you get used to it. I don't like the type of maple syrup that you have to use so I would hold my nose and drink in big gulps, and I don't even wanna mention the cayenne pepper . . . .

Seriously, though, it works and it works fast! It's only 10 days and the feeling of doing something so good for your body is what makes it worth the yuckiness of the lemonade

Ah, are you talking about the master cleanse? Yes! I'll see if I can dig up the recipe

I have the recipe,I just want to know if it tastes bad

I can drink it now without holding my nose you actually crave the lemonade during the fast instead of food, it's weird . . .

I think I can handle the lemon juice. The syrup is what throws me off

Do you guys have the recipe?

For a minimum of 10 days, drink:

2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. ½ lemon),

2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup, not maple-flavored sugar syrup or syrup from companies that use formaldehyde to harvest their syrup,

1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and

1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.


There's a regimine to this cleanse . . .it's called The Master Cleanse if you wanna google it

I wonder if you could replace the maple syrup with organic honey. It would taste better and honey has health benefits too.

4everYoung said:

Thanks, i'm gonna check it out!

I read this on the official site...

Can I replace the maple with honey?
You may not! (read warning about honey, page 18
of the 'The Master Cleanser' booklet referred as
'MCB')

Wow! Thank you for this info! SomeoneI went to school with tried this, but I never knew how to do it myself. I've been interested in doing a detox for quite some time, so I think I will give this a shot. It is advisable to do this while living my life as usual (going to work, driving, etc.) or should I take a week off from work to do it?
