Depends on your individual thirst I suppose. I used 76 oz. of juice a day divied into three meals. I drank plenty of water as well. I found that cutting back on the maple syrup made me feel hungrier so once I put in the recommended amount I was more comfortable.

It sounds like you may be a little short on your water. Plain water will help maximize the detox, and half your weight in ounces is the recommended goal. Dry skin-brushing will help with detox. Epsom Salt baths will help with detox. Tongue brushing will help with detox. Moderate exercise, even if just walking, will help with detox. Those probably would be the most basic extra practises to help maximize the fast. Others might suggest enemas if you feel like you are detoxing fast and feeling spacey or colon therapy if you have access to a good hydro-therapist.

Hope this helps...best wishes on your cleanse.

be happy, be well,

Although this is my first clease, I will give you my take with your water question as a nurse. The rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces a day for example if your husband is 180 lbs than he would need at least 60 ounces of water a day. and remember that the lemonade although mostly water, this is his food replacement. My suggestion to your husband would be to at least drink 32 ounces or so of pure water to help flush his system out. Also you lose a lot of water through sweat, breathing and stool. put his activity into consideration and maybe see how it goes for a day drinking more water. I hope this helps and did not just confuse you more. Good luck. Mel

P.S. He just does not want to get dehydrated on this cleanse or it would be pointless to go through all the rest of it.

If he's drinking 6 glasses of the drink or more a day, the one cup would be sufficient, For general good health for anybody, it is recommended that we drink half our weight in ounces of water a day. It can be in other forms coffee, tea,etc.
So if your husband weighs 160 lbs, he would need 80 oz. or water a day. Water is also filling, so if he wants only 6 glasses lemonaid mixture he can drink extra water if hungry.Best to both of you as you strive for better health.
