The Lemonade Master Cleanse Diet

Angela told me about this diet and I really had no intension of trying it but after feeling bloated and uncomfortable after eating all the time I thought maybe I would give it a try. So on Wednesday I started drinking my lemonade mixture of freshed squeezed lemons, pure maple syrup and cayenne pepper. It really tastes quite good. I cheated a couple times on Weds. and ate an apple and a banana. But Thursday I did really well. I even took a 5 mile walk with my friend Julie on Weds. and Thurs. I had to work Thurs. night and instead of drinking the lemonade mix I took a 46 oz. bottle of V-8 fusion + tea and drank that all night. Surprisingly, I was more awake last night than I have been drinking caffeine. And I haven't had any since Monday. Today I am really wanting something to eat but I am trying to be strong. My plan is to keep on it until I have to go back to work on Tues. I am surprised at the amount of energy that I have without eating anything solid for the last three days. But what I don't get is the colon cleansing part because even though I did the "saline flush"(which is drinking a liter of salt water) I had no results. But I am going to try it again before I go to bed and hopefully have results in the morning. I am going to weight myself tomorrow morning also and see if I have lost any weight. I better have or I am stopping this.
