I made it all day yesterday without wanting to eat my arm which is a good sign. I even cooked dinner for my boyfriend and i didn't want to eat anything i was cooking. He even had some chocolate which is one of my weakness but i refrained. I just kept drinking my lemonade. It really isn't that bad. After i stopped putting so much of the cayenne pepper it was A LOT better! It kind of taste like a lemon candy. I really enjoyed every 6 cups...except the first one.
Me and my boyfriend went out to a movie yesterday and that helped keep my mind of food. Although it really wasn't bothering me that much. I was so surprised that i didn't eat the whole day and i was fine. I had to drink that tea again. I was ready for it this morning though. I already knew what i was in for...pain...dookie..up by 6:40am =(
I am now drinking the salt water...which i don't really like because it is soooo muchhh water!! ..for me at least. I haven't noticed any noticeable changes physically but i do have a lot more energy. Its weird. I don't feel tired and Even though i got up at 6:40 to do my business i still felt well rested.
Well here goes DAY 2!

Beware of Cayenne Ppeper!
Well, i made my first batch of lemonade:
2 tbsp Syrup
2 tbsp Lemon
1/8 Cayenne pepper
Now Maybe i didn't measure right. This drink is hot. Once it hits the back of your throat it is burning. It is a bearable burn but still annoying. I will add less pepper for glass number 2.
Oh yeah..that Salt water flush...it is exactly that..a flush...what goes in come straight out the same way..ewwww...
2 tbsp Syrup
2 tbsp Lemon
1/8 Cayenne pepper

Tea SUCKS!
Okay so i drank the tea last night and I didn't feel a thing until 7PM on the dot. My stomach was killing me. They really were violent cramps. I had about 3 BMs in the matter of an hour. I was sweating and i ended up vomitting some of that tea....at least that was what i thought it was, it tasted exactly like it. But that hour sucked so much for me. I felt so sick and i couldn't wait until i got back to bed.
I slept until 10:30pm...which is really weird for me because i never sleep that late. I guess all that "energy" that i had to go through with the tea...wore me out.
It is 10:55 right now and i am beginning to drink my sea salt with my quart of purified water...It taste kinda nasty but it is bearable. But ONE QUART is a lot of freaking water to drink at once!!

Search for ingredients
Okay..So i went to Trader Joes after i got out of work but only found the Maple Syrup Grade B..no senna tea or anything like that. So i bought the maple syrup ($9.99) then i headed to Whole Foods to see if i had better luck there.
Alas! I did! I found the Senna leaf tea ($3.39)(not the smoothe move brand but herbal tea), I bought 12 organic lemons($9.59)..i know i am going to need more but lets see how long i last..and the sea salt($1.99) and Cayenne pepper.($2.49). I also noticed that they DID NOT have the grade B syrup, which makes me glad that i went to Trader Joes first.
I got home watched some TV then took a nap. After an assortment of calls waking me up i decided to start drinking my Tea. Around 9:40pm i boiled some water and put the tea in it leaving it in there for 7min, covered, per the directions on the box. Just finished the tea and i await the cramps in the middle of the morning. I have read so many people's blogs about this that i am aware of it but i don't know how prepared i will be.
Well, i have started and will be going to bed soon. Good night!

Intro/Beginnings
I am a 22 year old college graduate and after some ease dropping from a fellow co-worker's conversation I decided to do some research on this supposed "lemonade diet" a.k.a. "The Master Cleanser." My co-worker was having a conversation with someone about a show that they had saw with Beyonce Knowles, in which she mentioned this Maple-lemonade diet that she was on to lose 20lbs for her Dream Girls role. Now I don't watch a lot of T.V. or do i listen to anything Miss Beyonce Knowles sings. But I thought it was interesting to hear that there was something out there that a star tried to lose weight with.
Now I am 5' 8" and 207lbs. I have been successful in changing my eating habits for the past month and have lost 2 pounds. Now this may not seem like much but I have done a lot to revert my unhealthy habits and I am proud of that. But I wanted to find out more about this diet, yet knowing that it is probably unhealthy to lose 20lbs in 10 days. Upon reading different blogs and exerts from books, I listed them below, I have decided to try it for my self.

Wish me luck! I will be writing down my day to day reactions and hopefully this will help any of you who are deciding to try this Master Cleansing.
