Lemon Detox??

Has anyone tried the lemon detox (lemon juice, water, maple syrup, cayenne pepper). Did it work? What kind of "side effects" did you have? Did you feel better?

I could do with a detox. I heard water and fruit for 24 hours is good

Yeah, I have actually, and you know what? Cleared my cold right up =D

There shouldn't be any negative side effects unless you dump a heap of pepper in there.

As to whether it'll make you feel better? The risk is low enough for you to give it a shot and see.

Yes, It's called "master cleanse" - all kinds of info and support groups etc on the internet if you google the above.

I did it a few years ago. Only lasted 9 days (instead of the 14 that I was supposed to). It was quite the experience I can tell you. I quit after 8 days because I was losing weight too fast. I was lean enough really to begin with so....

You'll get to know your toilet thats for sure lol - bring reading material. First few days are brutal but then it gets better. Strange enlightenment type things happen around the the 5 day mark. Follow it to the letter and especially when you come off it.

I'd say it changed my life. Made me more mentally strong...but please be careful.

Here's the wikipeida link on it

Depends on what you are trying to do. I lost weight, presumably detoxed (I felt super afterwards) but most of all, it made me mentally very strong - more disciplined regarding junk food etc.

I was trying to get into the military back when I was 17 years old. I was about 20 lbs over what the weight requirements were for my height. I ate nothing but lettuce and tomatoes, topped with vinegar and drank plenty of water for two weeks straight. I lost a good 30 lbs...Over a two week period. Of course, the weight did not stay off because I didn't continue to workout. I also didn't go into the military

...I change my mind, like a person with ADD...

Wow, apparently I'm misunderstanding cleansing... 14 DAYS? O.o

Disregard my earlier comment...
