Questions about the lemonade diet?

Question

For those of you who have done the lemonade diet, i need some help. One of my questions is do i have to add the cayenne pepper? It burns my mouth and tongue and sometimes throat. Also, does it have to be ORGANIC and grade B maple syrup? Because i can't find any and i've been using regular maple syrup for two days. And finally, how much weight is the average you lose? I'm 150 lbs and about 5'3". Does anyone know how much i might lose on the lemonade diet? Also, does your stomache growl from not eating anything because i have school and would really perfer NOT to be embarrassed by gurgling intestines. Thanks for any help! :)

Answer 1

How about you not abuse your body in the name of such a ridiculous "health" trend, and instead eat in moderation and start a realistic exercise plan?

Answer 2

I did the lemonade diet for 4 days last week (I am starting again today) and I lost 8 pounds. I was 150lbs and 5'0".

Make sure you are taking some sort of laxatives to make sure you are flushing yourself out. Also, use 1 tablespoon of REAL maple syrup (you know, the real expensive stuff) I found that grade B is extremely hard to find, just buy the grade A stuff (again, make sure it it 100% maple syrup, NO corn syrup or anything). By using the fake stuff and more than one tablespoon, you will end up GAINING weight!

Yes you DO have to use the pepper because it has nutrients your body needs to lose the weight. Just add a pinch to every 10 ounces and drink right away. Your throat will get used to it. It also helps if you don't let the drink sit while the pepper is in there, it seems as though the pepper gets hotter the longer it sits. Having the drink sit even burns my throat! By NOT letting the pepper sit in the drink, you won't even taste it (unless you put too much!)

My stomach didn't make any silly noises when on the diet, infact if you are afraid of being hungry at school, bring a bottle of the lemonade in a container that isn't see throught. No one is going to ask what you are drinking or ask if they can have a sip. If they do, just say you have a sore throat and wish not to share.

If you want, email me and we can do it together! This way we have a buddy-system going on! [e-mail]

Good luck!
