I'm trying a new thing starting tomorrow....it's called the "Lemonade Diet". It's really not a "diet" in the sense of the word. It is actually a total body detox. I'm going to TRY to do the minimum amount of 10 days. Some people do it for 40.
It's suppose to rid your body of all toxins that have built up over the years. It give you more energy, heals cells, and even can cure allergies.
Of course--you have to go through the detox phase (those first few days). I may get headaches(my diet coke withdrawl), irritability, cramping, bloating, vomiting, raw throat and tongue, may develop sores in mouth, even old injuries aching (my previous sprained ankles, broken toe, etc......) as the healthy cells are trying to heal my body. Of course for all this detox to happen----you spend alot of time in the bathroom....
I plan on really starting this tomorrow. Right now--I'm drinking my first cup of organic, herbal, laxative tea. In the morning--I get to drink 1 quart of salt water! YUM!!! Then nothing but my lemonade mixture-----fresh squeezed lemons, pure maple syrup, cayenne pepper and spring water. About 10 glasses a day! For 10 days.
So far the tea tastes like nothing. No wonder why I hate tea so much.
I will try to write something everyday on my progress...

You are out of your mind! Why not do the Soup Diet? At least you get to eat healthy things like veggies, fruit, and soup and stuff. I can't see how a quart of salt water can be good for a person.
And here's the clincher, dear little sister of mine: Once you de-tox, you still have to have the WILL and the SELF-CONTROL not to return to your old ways (i.e. the coke, etc.).
Come visit my blog sometime, too. Have Rachel go to the Circle C blog (Andi's blog). She will get a royal KICK out of the pictures of the horse with its head STUCK in the tree. No lie. It's pretty funny but sad. At least the horse lived.
