Sorry to add more
But I have read a lot of replies to this and a lot seem to be giving misguided information.
This diet does not allow any consumption of food (unless you have the 1 meal a day method) nor does it allow you to take slimming tablets of any form with it. Its strictly, Natural tree syrup and lemons. Nothing else for 6-10 days, I know a lot of information about this as I took this diet to my clinic and I have read a book about it written by a doctor/dietician. If anyone does give you bad reviews on this diet, ignore them. Theres only two downsides, and that is hunger (which can be cured quite easily by a pint of water or two) and constipation as you are not consuming any fibre.
But please, Do Not consume anything other than the syrup, no food, alcohol, slimming tablets etc. It can waste your money, time and mess around with your diet and eating habits.

And...
I have done this diet twice in the past 6 months, first time I used it I used concentrated lemon for the first 4 days, and I never lost a thing the last three days I used actual Lemons and added Cayenne pepper or Ginger and lost 5 pounds.
The second time was just last week, I lost 10 pounds from it by sticking to the exact recipe and using the natural tree syrup I bought from a slimming website, its expensive as it did cost me £45, but it is certainly worth it. I used actual Lemons and Cayenne pepper, I also used the 2 litre bottle method, using 140ml of the tree syrup, 3 lemons, and a large pinch of pepper and add to two litres of water, I felt using it this way was much easier for me in work and at home as I didnt have to prepare a glass every hour or two.

Detox
For those who have been using normal Maple Syup out of the supermarket, good luck with that as it does not work. The Maple syrup you receive in the litre form off slimming websites etc, is the real one and the only one you can use as other maple syrups in supermarkets are full of sugar additives and chemicals, so basically, if you use Maple syrup out of a shop, then basically you will put on weight, as that is sugar, not glucose tree syrups.
Yes, you have to use Cayenne pepper as it speeds up your metabolism when mixed with the mineral from the lemons.

Which maple syrup
hi ladies,
been reading your posts and i really want to try this diet but do you have to use that special tree syrup (it's quite expensive) or can you use a maple syrup that you can buy from a supermarket? i've put over 2 stone since having my little boy 4 mths ago and i'm getting really depressed now, i can't seem to stick to diets for very long and never lose weight on them but i've booked a holiday in october and i really want to feel confidant in a bikini! hope someone can give me some advice on the maple syrup. good luck everyone who is starting or is on this diet. xxx

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. Emma

Lemon detox and cayenne pepper
Hi Emma,
Just to let you know if you do this detox again - yes, it does need to be Cayenne Pepper, it's an integral part of the detox. I've written about the benefits of Cayenne over on my blog. I kept a blog when I did the lemon detox and there is a ton of info including the right recipes.
Good luck,
Nikki

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.
