So I'm going to give the lemonade cleanse diet another go! I only lasted a couple days when I tried it in November last year, pretty pathetic I know! However, this time around I am ready to go the whole 10 days! I've been doing a good bit of research on it and have learned that there was a lot I was missing when I first tried it. In fact, the way I started it I was pretty much setting myself up for failure.
The lemonade cleanse is a very basic diet. Challenging in certain respects but still very basic. But, there are quite a few "small details" that you have to be aware of if you're going to get the diet down right and be successful with it. A friend of mine who went thru the cleanse had a great run. She lost 18 pounds in 10 days! I was very happy for her and want to achieve the same for myself. Her goal was actually more oriented towards the benefits of the body detox the cleanse provides and she got great results. Her skin actually cleared up and she raves about how healthy and energetic she feels now. Her whole outlook has changed to a more healthy lifestyle and she hasn't had a problem with craving all the junk food and bad habits.
So as I discussed the problems I had with Deb, she informed me of a few things right off the bat that I was doing wrong when I first tried this diet. She also referred me to a guide she used to help her get thru the cleanse. It's called Master Cleanse Secrets. You can check out the guide yourself, so far from what I've read I am very confident I will make good progress and be successful this second time around. The guide actually shows you how to prepare yourself just prior to starting the diet to give you an advantage and make sure you're ready when you start. Plus it gives a lot of information I had no idea about before which I was actually doing wrong myself.
Anyway, I am doing this blog as another way to help me stick to the lemonade cleanse, keep motivated, and document my progress. I will continue to document my progress and will share information I learn from my experience. This time around I will get through a successful lemonade cleanse!
