I am very proud of Lupe. She just completed her 10 day cleanse diet. It is called a Lemonade Cleanse. It consists of drinking 80 ounces of freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey and cayenne pepper powder mix daily. You can drink water in between. Prior to the start of the 10 day period, we had to taper down her diet from what she normally ate, like the rest of us, to basic salad with protein. This helped gradually reduce the eating urges and readied her system for the liquid diet. I thought that she would become weak but the honey sustains everything on the nutritional end. She was not weak. But we curbed her normal, very physical outdoor activities to the minimum. She was fine. Today is the 11th day which now goes to an orange juice diet for one day, next two days will be a vegetable soup diet and then slowly back to a normal type diet. Only this time, I will be making sure that her diet, as well as mine (she has motivated me) will be a lot more healthier. BBQ only one day a week. :( This effectively cleaned out her system, detoxed her and readied her for a healthier diet both physically and mentally. I am here to make sure that I support her new lifestyle. She lost a lot of inches and some weight. She is still retaining a lot of water weight understandably. I will see the total weight loss in about 5 more days. Wish her luck. She is one determined person. Did I mention that she had to start each day of the 10 day cleanse with drinking one quart of salt water. She said that was the worst part. I can only imagine. The down side to this diet.........Lupe wants a new wardrobe. Well what Lupe wants, Lupe gets!! Its the safest thing to do. Hahahahahahahaha!!! (y) Adios for now. ;)
