Lemons, Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper

What do these 3 things have in common? They are all I've had to "eat" since Sunday night. Two or three times a year, Lisa and I do a fast called the "Master Cleanser". It's designed to clear out toxins that have accumulated in your body. The drink itself has all the vital minerals and nutrients you need, but you never get to chew!

Find out more Here and here.

The recipe is:
2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice (1/2 lemon)
2 tablespoons of pure grade b maple syrup or a maple syrup
1-2 pinch cayenne pepper, to taste (red)
12 ounces of purified water (very warm)

Drink about 2-2.5L per day, matched by an equivalent amount of water.

Not only do you feel revitalized, cleansed, and lose weight (at a rate of about 1-2 pounds per day), but you learn a few things about yourself.

You learn what events, situations and emotions trigger your desire for food. Even though your body is getting all the nutrition it needs, if you pay close attention to when you want to eat, you can learn a lot about the triggers that drive you to eat, even when you're not really hungry.

I'd say the first few days are generally the most difficult, but after that it gets easier as you mentally adjust.

Give it a shot, it's not easy, but great rewards, both physically and mentally.

Regards,
Ben
