Lemon detox diet
Hiya.
I am on day two of the diet and am useing the moderate version where i substitute 2 meals for the drink and 1 normal meal. My question is do you have to use Cayenne pepper? or is ordinary pepper i have in the kitchen good enough? I wasnt worried yesterday when i started about it but i read that the pepper speeds up your metabolism rate.
I was 8st 2lbs yesterday morning and i weighed myself this morning and i am now 7st 11lbs!! Its amazing, i've lost 5 pounds in the first day!
I didnt use the speacil maple syrup, instead i used Lyles golden syrup, Maple flavoured, which i guessed was good enough. I had 1 x 200mls for breakfast yesterday and 2 x 200mls for lunch plus a double chocolate freshcato form Costa Coffee. For dinner i had curry, rice & naan bread and 1 portion ice-cream and 1 x 200mls of the drink.
I did get a slight headache yesterday and it got worse so i took a paracetomol which made it better, i also ate a cracker.
I am 5ft 2" and plan on doing this for 2 weeks.
I do find i need the loo alot, which isnt very surprising seeing as most meals are flavoured water! I dont really mind the taste. This morning i just had 1 x 200mls of homemade lemonade (lemon, sugar & water) which i guessed would do the same job.
I hope everyone else who tried it succeds and good luck to those planning to start.
If anyone can answer my question on the pepper it would be much appreciated.

How have you done on the diet
I have only just heardabout this Lemon diet and have just found your message.
I would be very interested in knowing how you got on with this diet. I have been a serial dieter for many years and would love to finally be able to say that I have lost weight naturally
Good luck

This morning I drank a lax tea (can't face the salted water as I tried it the last time). Am sipping on my lemonade. Hope it's not too hard.

Maple syrup diet/lemon diet 14 days journal
Hey people, started the lemon diet last week and this is my journal of progress. Would keep you up to date on every improvement. I am currently on day 6 and I intend to do the diet for 14 days so have 8 more days to go. I have already gone a size down but looking to drop two more sizes by the end of the diet. Been doing the detox tea morning and night and six glasses of lemon mix everyday religiously so far. Have not cheated and although I have been tempted to eat by GOD' s grace I have held on. No headaches or dizziness just tiredness on day 3. I would encourage any one looking to lose weight or clear their skin to go on this diet. My facial skin is the clearest it has been for as long as I can remember. Make sure you drink lemon mix each time you feel hungry or tempted to eat, it would help you pull through.
DAY 1- went well,no cravings for food or tiredness. 
Day 2- Started thinking about food at about 8pm but wasn't hungry or tired or anything like that, once I had the lemon mix though I was fine.
DAY 3- Woke up feeling tired and really weak in my bones so had detox tea immediately and took a hot shower. Soon as I got out took lemon mix and was fine all through the day. Later in the day had friends over for my birthday so had to cook, was so so so tempting but pulled through by the grace of GOD.After drinking the mix I actually stopped craving food.I realise that each time I am hungry all I have to do is fill my tummy with the lemon mix and I am good for another couple of hours.(3-4 hrs). Went for a night vigil (I am a christian so we have prayers at night on somedays, this one was from 8pm till 5am and I tell you I did not feel tired,dizzy or hungry for one minute).
DAY 4- Funny day, started the diet with a friend of mine who texted me at about 8pm to say she had cheated.It was DAY 3 for her, she wasn't hungry but she had cooked food in her fridge. Her intention was to throw the cooked food away but between the fridge and the dustbin she found herself eating the food. My advice to anyone who can not resist the sight of food-  DO NOT KEEP ANY FOOD IN YOUR HOUSE WHATSOEVER AND DO NOT HAVE FRIENDS OVER WHO WOULD BRING FOOD TO YOUR HOUSE OR WHO YOU WOULD HAVE TO COOK FOR. DO NOT GO OUT FOR MEALS WITH FRIENDS OR ORK MATES IF YOU CAN AVOID IT BECAUSE YOU WOULD ONLY END UP EATING!
DAY 5- It was a breeze, okay fine I must confess that it has not been by my own strength that I have pulled through each day.Been praying and asking GOD for grace for each day. Oh almost forgot went a size down today. One of my favourite grey pants had to be put aside THEY AREJUST TOO BIG,YAY! Weight loss is obvious now and I have got a few of my friends who saw me today at church to start on it.They can't believe I have lost so much weight in such a short period.
DAY 6- Here I am another day. So far everything has been well today. No hunger headaches or anything. 8 days to go and I am loving it. Will keep you posted as regards next 8 days.

Re: compton2
Hi!
I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks on this diet. I didn't put any of the weight back on either! It sounds hard, but I swear its the easiest diet I've ever done. I actually enjoy the drink and it gives me more energy. I highly reccomend this plan! Im starting again tomorrow as well, I've been putting it off since I got back from holiday!! So we can go it together!! Good luck my dear, and stay confident, IT WORKS!!

Day 1 - 03/08/08
Started the morning with the saltwater drink! Yuk, it made me gag and nothing happened either. (its supposed to make you go to the loo within 30 mins)
I Drank 6 glasses of the maple syrup drink through out the day, it tastes ok and i had a glass of it made with hot water which was quite nice.
I wasnt at all hungry, just felt strange not eating. I even made a gorgeous roast for my hubby and went and had a bath while he ate it incase i was tempted.
Finished the night with a cup of the lax tea. it was ok, tasted a bit like liquerish!
I woke up this morning a little bit more tired that usual. I was amazed when i stepped on the scales, i had lost 3lbs...yep, 3lbs in 24 hours. WIll keep you updated ........

Day 6 08/08/08
Well after my shock weight gain in the morning i carried on making and drinking my drinks through out day 6.
THEN...had a small jacket potoato with a spoonfull of cottage cheese and beans, then a snickers bar, then a packet of crisps, then cheese on toast, then marmite on toast Hmmmmm could i be in the binge & pruge cycle that bulimics get!! Took the salt water mix and lax tea to get rid of all the junk i ate (i know this is not healthy and Im wondering if this diet is really messing with my mind and health now)
Went to bed riddled with guilt and really upset with myself and to make matter worse the saltwater mix & lax tea didnt work :0(

Day 8 10/08/08
Woke up this morning and didnt bother weighing my self. Decided I am going to start a fresh Monday Morning!
Had no breakfast, a roll for lunch and then a sunday roast for dinner. Am gutted that i couldnt hack it over the weekend.
While in the bath i noticed i have this awful rash all over my neck and face (im sure its from the binge of ... food i had over the weekend) Also my face has had a mass breakout of spots (again i think its the rubbish food) My skin was glowing thursday, and my eyes were sparkly but today, i look tired and old!!! Just goes to show what crap is in our food. No more rubbish for me when i finish this diet, i am going to eat healthy natural foods :0)
BUt its not all bad....tried on my skinniest skinny jeans (size 12) and they were really REALLY loose. Even my husband noticed and even said my bum looks smaller. ha ha, definately getting back on track 2moro.
