Getting Ready...Let's Do This!!!

Hi everyone! Well...I've stocked up on what I need to start the Master Cleanse: Lemon Cayenne Detox!!! I'M READY!!! There has been much talk about this particular detox...if it does the body good or bad! I've done my research, over the years, and found more positive things about this detox approach than negative ones. So, with that said, this is MY method of choice...LOL.

Here's my plan:

~Master Cleanse/Lemon Cayenne Detox for 10days, starting 6/14/10
~ Ease Out Of Detox with Orange Juice, 6/24 through 6/26
~Introduction Of Soup/Fruits/Vegetables, starting 6/26

~Exercise (Start off with 1-mile walk at least 3 days a week, gradually increase distance over time)


Recipe for 8-ounce portions of Master Cleanse/Lemon Cayenne Detox:

~8 ounces of filtered water
~1/2 medium lemon (FRESH LEMONS, NOT CONDENSED LEMON JUICE!!!)
~2 Tablespoons 100% Pure Grade B Maple Syrup
~A PINCH of Cayenne (Red) Pepper

Here are some very, very important facts (in case anyone wants to do the master cleanse):

* Remember that the syrup and the lemon juice will displace the filtered water. If you fill the bottle up with too much filtered water, there will be no room for your lemon juice or your maple syrup.

* The Maple Syrup MUST be Organic Grade B Maple Syrup. It's important...There are no preservatives in it and no artificial sweeteners.

* DO NOT USE TOO MUCH CAYENNE PEPPER...YOU ONLY NEED A PINCH!!! If you use too much cayenne, you will render your drink undrinkable. The cayenne pepper is used to keep off any nausea you feel throughout the detox. Plus, the cayenne pepper will help in the cleansing.

* If you start feeling nausea during the detox then there are two reasons:

1. You haven't consumed enough calories. The maple syrup is your food! It is not just an organic sweetener thrown in there. You must include a total of at least ***1,200*** calories in your diet or your body WILL shut down from lack of caloric intake. It's not healthy. MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH MAPLE SYRUP IN YOUR DETOX DRINK.

2. You didn't put any Cayenne Pepper or NOT ENOUGH Cayenne Pepper in your detox drink. You need to put it in there. It isn't just to add spice to your drink, but it actually combats any nausea you feel naturally.


* Do not take any supplements, vitamins, or anything of the kind during the detox. You don't know how they will react to your detox. Never detox or start any exercise/diet program without first talking to your doctor. Especially if you are taking anything like this or medication for health reasons. You don't know how they will react. DON'T TAKE THE RISK!!!


WISH ME LUCK...MY JOURNEY BEGINS TOMORROW!!!
