The recipe for the master cleanse is pretty simple. I did it by ounces, it made it a bit easier for me to remember it.

To start with you need to do the salt water flush in the mornings. The salt water flush is just

2 teaspoons of UN-IODIZED sea salt mixed in 24 to 32 ounces of warm water. You need to drink this within 20 minutes. Some times this will not, work some times it will.

Then you can make the lemonade. I make 64 ounces at a time. That is enough for 6, eight ounce glasses.

6 ounces FRESH lemon juice, this needs to be freshly squeezed from a lemon, you could also do lime if you wanted too.

6 ounces of PURE maple syrup. They say dark amber grade b however, I could only find grade a so that’s what I have been using. This can get a bit expensive. I have read you can use agave (organic nectar) or dark molasses  instead. If you want to use this lemonade to help aid in weight loss cut the maple syrup down some.

I then add the rest water about 48 ounces of water. Some say you need 10 ounce to every serving some say 8 ounce so I am not sure. After I mix all that I place in the fridge then when I get me some I add about a pinch of cayenne pepper to it.

For one serving of the lemonade you would use

1 ounce of fresh lemonade juice, 1 ounce pure maple syrup, 8 ounces water and 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

This lemonade is awesome I love how it tastes and I will continue to drink it.

I can say I have lost roughly 10 pounds and I feel great. I have hope that I can some day be down to 140ish to 160. Hell at this point I would be glad with 180…

So for now I will continue to drink my lemonade diet drink, and working out with the Wii, and if I do this right keep watching the numbers on the scale go down, down, down.

Still drinking my lemonade, went to the library and got a new book to read. Lee Childs is a great writer. Still not feeling hungry, and I seem to have more energy. Cleaned up the kitchen last night with not many breaks, that is unusual lol. My legs was sore though, but other then that not to bad at all.

I know I said tomorrow was going to be my last day of the master cleanse BUT I do not think I am actually gonna stop it. I think the salt water bath and such is ending, however I am going to drink the lemonade drink through out the day then a small meal at dinner… I LOVE the lemonade drink… It is very refreshing, and it is fresh yummy.

8pm
Still sipping my lemonade. Okay I am not sipping it I am drinking it LOL it is too good to sip. So far everything is going good I am down 1 pound again today. That is 6 pounds since Monday when I started the master cleanse. I tomorrow is my last day of just lemonade. I am going to see about adding small mellow foods back into my system.

As of right this minute I am down 8 pounds since last Thursday. So that is an averaged of almost 1 pound a day. I could have did a lot better but this flush, really flushed my system. It caused me to start my period a week early and I had a heavy flow… So I could hardly move for a few days. I did do some workout just not as much as I wanted too.

Cleaning house right now, then going to drink my tea and head to bed. In the morning I will drink my tea again and see what the day holds.

10am
Well it worked still not as good as day one. I think a lot of that has to do with nothing being in my stomach though, I truly hate the salt water flush. I do not think tomorrow I am going to do it. Other then that everything is going great. Still not feeling hungry, still drinking my lemonade detox, and my skin is feeling and looking better.

3pm
Just did a weigh in and I am losing 1.5 pounds a day. I am also on my monthly so I am hoping the scale drops more after I am done. So far everything is going great. I am drinking my lemonade detox and not feeling no ill side effects with the master cleanse. Jen was also suppose to be blogging about her progress, but I don’t think she has been because I can’t find it on her blog. LOL Guess she changed her mind and forgot to tell me. I am only doing the cleanse for 2 more days. Then I will slowly get my body back on solid foods.

6pm
Still doing good, went out side for a bit with the family and enjoyed the weather. I am for real not doing the salt water flush tomorrow I am only going to do the tea, tonight and in the morning. The salt water bath is sick… It wouldnt be so bad if I could quickly swig it and then drink water, but I am afraid if I did that I would throw up. I will be drinking my tea in a few hours then bedtime.

10pm
Well momma duties called. Gillian ended up getting sick so I had to get her and everything else cleaned up. Washing bedding now. I guess I will be up a bit later tonight then what I had planned, but oh well…

I also decided NOT to add the pepper to all of the mix. Yesterday I could not drink it all so I ended up having to throw the rest out not today. My face is actually feeling clean. I usually wake up and have a oily mess. Not these past few days. That is a good thing.

3pm
Well, the flush didn’t work like it should have. I guess the shot thing was a bad idea. I did still go just not like I should have. So far the lemonade diet isn’t that bad, the worse of it is the salt water. With the master cleanse it is making my skin look and feel a lot better. I will finish the lemonade detox drink before I go to bed. This stuff is pretty good. I think after Saturday, if i go until then, I am still going to buy the stuff to make the lemonade drink, but instead of the salt water bath drink the lemonade and eat a small meal at dinner. This way I am taking in fewer calories and not feeling all hungry.

7pm
I have did a 15 minute workout with Wii Sports More Workouts. Washed the car cleaned it all out yay me. Went to the store took care of a few things in the yard. Still sipping on my gin and juice, lemonade detox drink. Over all it has been a good day.
