I don't believe in 'fad diets', however, I do
believe in cleansing your body, getting rid of any unwanted toxins, and
ensuring that your body is able to absorb all the key nutrients it requires
which is what this 'cleanse' does when completed.
After a week of indulging on pizza, chips and
alcohol on holiday last summer, I decided (after a lot of research) to take
part in this; I only managed it for 4 straight days but alongside light
exercise and eating well afterwards I lost around 21lbs in six weeks and I was
amazed! Compliments galore! Although I maintained this weight, due to many food
allergies, stress and problems inhibiting me from exercise (and a little
indulgence around Christmas) I quickly put on 15lbs in three weeks and I was
gutted. So I recently decided to do it again, eight days straight and I lost it
all! Plus my skin cleared up and I have lots of energy!
What you'll need:
Water
Lemon/lime
100% maple syrup (Original/grade B or higher)
Cayenne pepper
Patience and resistance
NB: you will need to research specific
measurements of each ingredient (dependent on the individual, some may find it
easy to make it in bulk rather than by the cupful.
It is NOT easy. Challenging would be an
understatement but the rewards are worth it. Consumption of anything other than
this concoction (water, green tea and other herbal teas are allowed) will make
the cleanse ineffective. It is essential that three days prior to this you
reduce your food intake slowly to liquids/veg/fruit only, and slowly increase
your food intake three days after. This speeds up your metabolism and should
motivate you to kick start healthy eating. The usual time period for this is
dependent on the individual - it can be 3, 5, 7, 10, 14days - some have even
done up to 40! (Absurd!!)
If your lifestyle is hectic I would suggest
doing it for a shorter period or when you're not too busy, because it is a
demanding process. If you have any qualms or concerns relating to this do
comment below and be sure to check with a medical professional before
partaking.
I'll be taking part in this again between 1st
March-10th so feel free to ask me any questions below :)
