Do you recommend a water-only fast or one w/ lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper?

Question

It's not to lose weight, but to cleanse out the system.

Answer 1

I would recommend going to a Naturopathic doctor and have them assess you to give you guidelines to cleanse your body. I have tried many fasts/cleanses. I went to a ND about a month ago and I found out what are the ideal foods for me as well as what to avoid. I have better results from this than any cleanse I have tried.

Answer 2

Not sure about the maple syrup (seems like that is defeating the purpose). I've read that hot lemon water with a pinch of cayenne is a good cleanser to drink every morning.

I've always fasted for 3 days, eating whole, uncooked food the day before and after.

For the fast itself, I juice some pineapple, apple, grape juice for the day.
For night (dinner), I gently boil veggies (carrots, celery, beets) with dandelion green and cabbage for a couple hours. I drink a warm bowlful of the juice only for dinners.

Makes me feel a lot lighter, but during the fast, I feel achy.

Answer 3

A glass of warm water + 1/2 lemon at morning.
Exercise. Bath.
A glass of Vegitable juice or citrus fruits or citrus fruit + milk.
Light lunch + salads.
A glass of vegitable juice afternoon or cocoanut water.
Light dinner +salads+sprouts.
Eat only when you have a good hunger otherwise have citrus fruits.

Answer 4

None of the above. Your body cleans out the system naturally. Anything else is just doing damage to your body.

Answer 5

Fasting is bad for you. You can't "cleanse out your system". That is fraud and snakeoil.

Eat right and avoid poisonous habits.
