Master Cleanse Diet (Lemonade Diet)

Today, I will do something that I have never done before. I will publicly go on a diet and check in with you all each day. First I should share with you what the Master Cleanse Diet or Lemonade Diet is and my reasons for taking this great feat on. Feel free to join me.
The Master Cleanser Diet, or as popularly known; The Lemonade Diet was created by the late Naturopath Stanley Burroughs. The Diet consists of fasting to rid the body of toxins, created by improper diet, lack of exercise and negative mental attitudes. The purpose of the Lemonade Diet is to dissolve and eliminate toxins and congestion; to cleanse the kidneys and digestive system; to purify glands; to eliminate waste and hardened materials in the joints and muscles; to build a healthy bloodstream; to maintain optimal blood pressure; and to what you all are waiting to hear... to lose weight. As a reducing diet it is superior in every way, reducing fat at a rate of about two (2) pounds a day for most persons, without harmful side effects. (Information provided by the lemonadediet.com) It is rumored that Beyonce' also used this diet to prepare for her role in Dream Girls.
My reason for taking this challenge is because I want to feel better, shed pounds because I want to feel better and look good for me and I want more energy as well as clearer skin. I will long in daily. I have decided to do this challenge for seventeen days.

The components of the Master Cleanse Diet. First and foremost I suggest to anyone that is thinking about starting it to purchase the book or do research on the internet for oneself. Do not simply rely on my information.
At night you before bedtime drink an eight ounce cup of Smooth Move tea.
In the morning upon rising drink 32 ounce cup of uniodized sea salt water. (Use 2 teaspoons of the uniodized sea salt. If you use iodized the diet won't work.)
Note: The water should be pure and it is suggested that you use a filter on your sink. Research shows that there are so many toxins in the water that come from the tap until it is ridiculous. When I found out what I had been drinking it made me want to puke, no lie. Bottled water will not do either. I want this to work for me so I am willing to follow this diet to the letter and yes, I did buy the filter. If it going to keep me and my family healthy it's worth it. It was really inexpensive.)
During the day you drink 6-10 ten-ounce glasses of the Lemonade which consists of
2 Tablespoons of pure, organic maple syrup (don't try to substitute this or the diet will not work)
2 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice ( again use organic lemon juice, canned, frozen or anything other than organic will not work)
A pinch of cayenne pepper
Mix with water and you're good to go.

As I approach the end of the fast, I will share with you the proper way to come off the fast.

Day I: I drank the smooth move tea last night and surprisingly it was not bad. I thought that I was going to want to add some sugar to it before I started but once I tasted it there was no need. This morning I drank a cup of the uniodized sea salt water and it really was not that bad. I made the lemonade mixture at work and have been drinking it all day. I have not been hungry at all. So yea, for a good day so far.
6PM: I gotta keep it real. I just broke down and ate a pinch of my baby's pizza. That sausage and pepperoni and cheese was calling my name. So, it was a pinch. Then, I said, "Girl, you blew it. You just ate something and it did not hit the spot. So a salad won' t hurt will it?' So, I ate a small lettuce and carrot salad with ranch dressing and it was GOOD!
8:30 I drank some more lemonade and then my tea. Tomorrow will be better.

DAYII: How about that salt water in the morning is supposed to be 32 ounces? Yesterday I only drank 8 ounces of it because I didn't know. So, this morning I drank 32 ounces of it. And know I know the purpose of this morning cup. I spent an extra twenty minutes in the lavatory this morning. This system is truly cleansing me. I was like "Lord, you gotta to help me because I got to get to work. I don't think I can call off work because my body is detoxing. " Ofcourse, I wouldn't report that to my job, but when I call off work I like for it to be worth my while or just to have a chill day. Yes, I do take mental stress relief days. I'm not going to unnecessary stress and unwanted gray hairs due to a job. NOPE. I will take a mental stress relief day before that happens. So anyways, thank God I made it out of the house on time this morning. Got my oldest to school on time with time to spare and made it to work earlier than I have in a long time. Look how God works.
So, it's approaching noon on day 2 and my stomach is growling right now, so I gotta go and get some lemonade. My body really wants a mushroom swiss cheesburgrer with fries- let me stop. I am on a mission for myself and when this over I am going to have to go a shopping spree because my clothes will be too big in the waist, thighs and I can't walk around with pants that got a droopy booty.

DAYIII: I did it. Thank God, I made it through day 2 without cheating. I did not eat anything which is really good for me, because a sistah is used to eating. Now, day three has been going well so far. It's 11:00 am- I can do this. I skipped the salt water this morning, but I had the tea. There were no delays this morning (read yesterday's excerpt to see what I mean). You know I'm thinking this is not too bad, however it would probably be best to do this cleanse when you're at home and don't have to work-because it does make you "go" and I prefer to "go" at home.
