The Lemonade Diet

I wanted to keep a journal about this little master cleanse and i figured why not publish it. My sister recently got married and tried this little deal called "The master cleanser" diet--also known as the lemonade diet. Many television shows have poked fun at it (the office--Kelly Kapur) and its been around for a long time. It must be said that this diet is not really meant to help you lose weight, it is primarily a cleansing diet to flush out your system. I have been looking around for a cleansing type diet for a while and this seems the safest way. So heres the diet:

How Long: 10 days on, with 3 days afterward to get back on solid food slowly.

The daily regime:

1) Morning Salt Wash--1 Quart of water with 2 teaspoonfuls of Uniodized sea salt on an emty stomach

2) The daily supply of Lemonade--60 ounces of Distilled or spring water + 12 tablespoons of fresh squeezed organic lemon juice + 12 tablespoons of Grade B organic Maple syrup + 1/2 teaspoonful of Cayenne Pepper.

3) "Smooth Move" natural Senna herbal tea at night before bed

Additional notes:

• Plain water may be used at any time in addition to the lemonade
• A Mint herbal tea may be used at any time to break up the taste boredom
• Less maple syrup may be used, but always the full amount of lemon juice must be used
• Exercise is fine during the diet

With that all Said Lets get up to speed on how my trip has been so far:
Warning: The following will be complete and graphic with much detail into more poop than any normal reader may usually venture. Reader has been warned

1) The night before: The laxative tea really tastes pretty bland with only a slight hint of something fruity. Its decent though and i dont think it will cause a problem. The biggest issue will be the fact that i have to wake up so early to get the salt wash in before i have to leave for school.

2) Day 1: With all that i had read about the natural senna tea i was assuming that there would be some rediculous bowel movement in the middle of the night or something but it was relatively normal. I drank the entire quart of salt wash and it was pretty sick. I truly feel that this will be the hardest part of the whole plan. I gagged a couple times trying to drink it all down. I then made my concoction of lemonade which actually took a while with all the squeezing and measuring.

I was warned to not go anywhere for at least an hour after drinking the salt mixture down so as not to explode somewhere where i shouldn't, but after an hour and 20 minutes i decided that perhaps it didnt work and i headed off to school. I drank my first bottle of the lemonade and realized that the cayenne pepper makes the stuff pretty spicy. Lets just say that this aint no country time lemonade.

When i got to school it hit me hard and i freaking ran to the bathroom to have perhaps the most explosive bowel evacuation of my life. It was actually kinda funny and it made me laugh out loud in the mens room. The rest of the day went pretty well and i drank the entire amount of lemonade having a little bit of headache from the massive change of eating habits. I am about to go make my senna tea but wanted to post and get this started before i go do my homework. Cheers!
