Master Cleanse Forum - Master Cleanser Lemonade Diet

Hi all,

I have a question i need answered asap.

I decided to start the MAster Cleanse. Not only to clean out the toxins but I want to lose some weight.

Im a guy and currently hitting 182 pounds / 83 kg / 13 stones and i want to go down to 11 stones/70 kg

I started The Master Cleanse today and I read that to lose weight it is optimal to
1/2 the maple syrup to 1tbs and drink 6 amounts.

Now my questions are?

1. I normally get 2-3 tbs out of my lemons. Can I put extra lemon juice in every drink. eg. 3tbs Lemon : 1tbs Maple Syrup : & Cayenne

2. Im going to stick to 6 amounts of the recipe. and I know that it is recommended to drink extra water throughout the day. Can I replace the extra water, with LEMON + Water. [just Lemon and Water -no Maple Syrup or cayenne].

3. Final question I can not get my Sea Salt to work. Im using organic Geo-Atlantic sea salt. any advice on that.

I look forward to hearing from you. the quicker the better.

Thank you, enjoy the long weekend

To answer your question, don't change the ratio of lemon to water per serving. Just adjust the maple syrup. I think this was mentioned in the book. There's a reason why it's supposed to be 2 tbs. I just don't know why. I know you can adjust the cayenne and maple but not the amount of lemon juice.

Lemon water should be ok but your body might not like too much acid.

What do you mean the SWF is not working? Did you use 32 oz and 2 tsp of sea salt? Warming it up is easier.

I agree - keep the ratios the same in each drink.

I too vary the amount of lemon I put in -- since each lemon has a different quantity of juice in it. If it's a large lemon I just use half, then save the other half for the next drink a few hours later.

I also read (Tom Woloshyn book) that halving the maple syrup is OK, especially if you want fewer calories to lose weight. It's what I do, so usually 1.0 tablespoons of maple syrup per glass for me.

As for the SWF, I had to find the "sweet spot" of how much salt to put into my quart of warm water to get the more predictable eliminations. I use a little less than 1 tablespoon, which probably equates to 2.5 teaspoons.
