Today is day 2 of the Lemon Juice Cleanse for me. My daughter Emily tried to start with me yesterday but didn't like the lemonade mixture and wasn't drinking it so I won't let her continue since it is vital you drink the lemonade to succeed. The last time I went on this cleanse I made it 20 days and felt great. I've read about people going 30 days or even several months but because of feeding the kids I end up craving food too much. My plan is go on the GAPS diet following the cleanse. I plan to do the cleanse until the lemons run out (38 pounds of them) but I only say this is my plan. I don't know what reality will be. I'm already hoping I can just make it until tomorrow.
My goal is to detox, lose some weight, balance my hormones and to feel good! On day 2 I already have softer skin and have lost a bit of weight (about 8 pounds). My belief in losing so much right away is that the food I'm eating was affecting me. I was either having intolerance/allergy reactions to it or not digesting properly (same thing as intolerance probably). It was causing me to feel bloated after meals.
I am mixing up filter water with fresh squeezed lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I use the mixture: 6 ounces lemon juice, 1/2 c. maple syrup, about 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (a bit less) and 6 cups water. This morning I made half of this because it is best to drink it as fresh made as possible and the enzymes are fresh and alive.
