As much as I like it pulpy, I find that the less pulpy, the easier time I have with getting the hunger to go away. I have heard, can't say for sure though, that the pulp can stimulate your digestive system. And it's when the digestive system is turned off that you actually start cleansing and also the hunger disappates. So, I first grind the lemons, but then I put that through a coffee strainer (one that has never been used for coffee before).
