Re: Lemonade

The lemonade is very important for the MC!!

Lemon is very cleansing, it helps to clean toxins out of your tissue and organs.

Maple syrup provides nutrition. This allows you to function normally throughout the cleanse. In the book, it talks about how a Water Fast will totally incapacitate you and leave you with zero energy.

Cayenne...it does lots and lots of stuff. Helps keep you warm (even though all of you who have complained about being cold lately probably won't think so), helps break up fecal matter in your bowels, etc. There is a cayenne blog on CZ, go check it out! Cayenne can stop a heart attack!!

I drink a glass every 2 hours - whether I'm "hungry" or not. I'm a small person, so I shoot for 8-10 glasses a day. The first few days though, I usually drink closer to 12.

You may feel OK right now, but if you go several days without getting at least 6 glasses, you are going to start feeling really crummy. While the water is beneficial and I feel that getting at least 1/2 your weight in ounces everyday is important, for The Master Cleanse it is MOST IMPORTANT to get enough lemonade!

Happy Cleansing!
