The calorie carb thing does not apply in terms of weightloss when you are "fasting". As a matter of fact the less calories you take in the more your metabolism slows down and the more the system will try to hold on to fat reserves. This is natures survival modus operandi where in times of famine the system will horde fat reserves to ensure survival. In terms of weight loss you are better off cutting down the MS per drink and adding more lemonades since then you will be taking in more cayenne and lemon both of which help the system detox more efficiently.Most toxins are stored in fat.
