Kathryn,
Thanks for the imput. It's interesting to hear that some doctors are on board with it. I am not planning on doing it just yet (CA citrus prices have this college kid strapped!! haha) but I may look into in the future. I really can't wait to hear everyone once you guys start on the 29th!
Goodluck everyone!!
Thanks for your time writing your opinion, Kathryn~

OK don't shoot me for not following it correctly. But, I have been encouraged by this thread and the fact that I have a business trip on a cruise in late February, to start doing something.

I started the lemonade diet last on the 16th, however, my fulltime job requires me to meet and eat with vendors, so I have not been able to be faithful to the diet.

On the days that I do not have an appointment, I stick to it. On the days that I have a business meeting, I have changed what I eat, to a healthier meal, like soup or salads.

So far I have lost 10 lbs. I can say this about the diet;

-The drink tastes very good! I like lemonade, so that was easy.
-On cold days I mix it with hot water on Warm days I mix it with ice.

I think for me this is a life changing thing. I want to be thinner and I want to be healthier.

So, thanks for the thread! (Sorry this is so long)

Ok first morning on the way

I decided to just go ahead and do it ALL! I did the flush this morning also

I am one who doesn't go as often as most, if you know what I mean

So I guess it took a little longer to get my system going, I drank the SWF at 6 this morning and it is now just kicking in!! I also have started to drink the lemonade brew and I honestly kinda like it

The flush wasn't that great to drink but definitely not as bad as I thought!!

Okay so here's my question - I drank the tea last night and the salt water this morning, should I drink the tea at night and do the flush every morning or eventually be doing the tea in the pm and the am??

I am really excited about this and being healthier and plan to do this a few times a year, right now my goal is ten days so we'll see where I am at that point.

TLC · 01-25-2007, 07:06 AM

I don't have the time to 'wait' for the SWF to exit

I did the SWF on Sunday and I will do it again this coming Sunday.

I am drinking the tea in the PM and AM.

My brother-in-law did the SWF every other day (he did this cleanse for 21 days - 2 days of OJ). I don't think that even did any lax tea either

Kathryn_V · 01-25-2007, 07:17 AM

In a perfect world... you WOULD do the SWF EVERY morning! I try to do it every morning! I think I missed only two mornings last time...

You can fall back on the tea, but your results as far as cleansing are supposed to be better with the flush.. thats why I try my darnedest to stick to it!

I am afraid to go but citrus right now in California!!! After the freezing cold and the lost crops... I have not even seen the prices!

I just might fall over when I get to the store!!!

The MD that I saw was also a homeopath (sp?) He was all about natural healing as an alternitive to traditional medicine. You'd be amazed at how many MD's are open minded and not as ridged as they once were. However the vast majority are pretty grrrrrr!

and would lecture me for hours about it! but thats ok... Early vegitarians were lectured for hours on end about how unhealthy their food choices were too! About how they could not live without meat!

I hear the same things about eating raw. How I'll die of malnutrition. People are afraid of new things and untill they are widely accepted, they will be widely judged.

ok ladies - I'm always looking to lose this 15 lbs I can't seem to escape from - how expensive is this ?? Can you give me a ballpark figure ?

ccorder · 01-25-2007, 07:37 AM

Okay, as I said I would do.............. I jumped on the wagon this morning. I had my SM last night and just could not do the SWF so I decided on another tea. I have had one drink and SO FAR SO GOOD. Nothing yet, but it is still early. Anyway, I am sooooooo excited about this. I will try the SWF on Saturday. This is a great way to keep me motivated. I know it will be worth it in the end

I spent 25 in the health food store for one box of tea, two 16 oz jugs of the maple syrup, sea salt (ground up in a shaker, it is the right stuff though and I have been to bathroom to prove it

just make sure it is the right one). The cyanne pepper was a dollar something and the lemons were like 58 cents a piece at Walmart. There are 16 servings of syrup per bottle and you need 8 - 12 glasses a day so I will be looking to see if I can buy it in a larger size

And one nice size lemon will do about 2-3 glasses.

I hope that helps

There are 16 servings in the box of tea I got and if I do the SWF every morning that will cover me for the entire time!

The SWF really wasn't nearly as bad as I had made it out to be in my head!!

V - I have the manual in PDF form. If you PM me I will e-mail it to you.
What you need:

1 small jar of Caynne Pepper
Spring water or filtered water
Grade B Maple Syrup
Lemons

You must drink a min. of 6 "brews"
1 Brew =
10 oz. of water
A dash of Caynne Pepper
2 Tablespoon of Fresh Lemon Juice =
1/2 lemon (maybe more if the lemon is small)
2 Tablespoons of Mape Syrup Grade B
This is what would be the most expensive part.
But I found a hugh 64oz. jug of Grade B -
Maple Grove Farms at Restuarant Depot for $18

Smooth Move Tea for PM and AM (if you don't do the SWF)

SWF = 2 teaspons of uniodize sea salt and 1 quart of luke warm water

I hope this helps, PM if you the manual

I am using Redmond Real Salt Gourmet all natural Sea salt, it's finely ground and I use two table spoons in a quart of warm water, it is a bit oceany but not too bad. And someone said drink it while it's warm, a VERY good point because it is worse cold!!

I got it at the health food store here, I am sure most health food stores will carry it.

I just didn't concentrate on it and drank it, the more you think about it the more you psyche yourself out of doing it

Kathryn_V · 01-25-2007, 09:47 AM

Warm, like chicken soup!

Its all in your head!

Thats what I keep telling myself! Its really not that bad...

That or if I'm in a hurry!

"FEAR FACTOR"

$50,000

"You can do it!"

lol And I just chug it!

Warm is the ONLY way to drink it! Seriously... cold and you'll gag your brains out! It will be like drinking out of the Bay! lol

But warm and its like Broth...
