Side Effects of the Cayenne Pepper Diet


Side EffectsThe Cayenne Pepper Diet is a wonderful cleanse that can deliver detoxification and health benefits. However you will need considerable resolve to be successful for the whole 10 days. The most difficult aspect is certainly the fact that you will not be eating food during the cleanse. In addition, there are other side effects which will influence your continuing motivation and desire to cleanse you body. Let’s explore those.

Hunger and Food Craving

Yes, you will experience hunger. During the first few days you will feel this most acutely as you experience fasting, possibly for the first time in your life. Many cleansers attempt to mitigate this by chewing on gum. Unfortunately, this doesn’t really work. I can recommend drinking more water to help with the cravings. If you are able, consider buying Hoodia. This natural supplement has considerable testimonial evidence that it can help with hunger.

Headaches

While you’re body is detoxing, it’s common to get headaches as you withdraw from sugar and toxin addiction. Many people feel flu-like symptoms. Also consider that if you drink tea or coffee in the morning, you will be giving up the caffeine you have become accustomed to. Headaches will result. Rest assured that these will subside.

Soreness

Drinking lemonade can result in mouth sourness at first. This is very common. Also, when the body is detoxing, you may experience skin irritation as these toxins are purged through the skin. These symptoms will usually last for a little while. This all depends upon how full of toxins your body is.

Note: Don’t let these discourage you! These are positive signs that you are on the path to wellness. Temporary discomfort is the price to pay for better health.

The Lemonade Diet


Okay, you’ve started the ‘cayenne pepper diet‘ aka ‘the lemonade diet’. You’ve got into it a few days and you feel like complete **** … shaking, tired, suffering from headaches and just generally miserable. Perhaps you are thinking of quitting but are worried about gaining back the weight you have lost. It’s difficult to cope.

The difficult truth is that many people don’t last on this diet because they didn’t start out with a good plan. The number one thing you need to have in place is a clear understanding of why you want to do this, a powerful vision of you attaining your goal, plus some solid support from your friends and family.

Remember, the lemonade diet is not really a ‘diet’ … it’s a cleanse. That said here are some warnings & helpful tips.

You should read the Master Cleanse Secrets book. If you have special needs, diabetic or hypo/hyperglycemic issues, then you want to be fully informed. Consult your doctor with your plans.

1. Salt water flushes mobilizes toxins and encourages elimination. Do you get what I mean? Stay NEAR a bathroom for an hour or so afterwards until you are quite finished. If you don’t, you will regret it
2. If you feel the need to flatulate after having drank the laxative tea (Smooth Move) or salt water flush, DON’T. It’s not gas
3. The tea works very well. Be near a bathroom in the morning. If you drink it in the morning, be prepared to be near a bathroom
4. Use only the best Organic Grade B Maple Syrup you can find. I shop for mine at a local organic whole foods store
5. Buy a lemon/citrus juicer. Conventional thinking is that you can juice 2 or 3 lemons for the juice you will need. It’s more like 10 and you will get tired. A few bucks spent will save you much effort. Drink the pulp!
6. Fresh lemonade tastes best
7. Pre-measure your lemonade. You WILL start drinking more of it and you WILL start to crave it
8. Consider starting a blog to journal your experience. This can be therapeutic
9. Take before and after photos, and remember to weigh yourself. You may not like to do that, however if you want to make meaningful change in your life, you MUST be prepared to observe whether it’s working or not
10. You *may* develop a cold
11. EASE OFF THE CLEASE! Digging into the fried chicken will sicken you
12. A lot of weight loss will be water, which will return. Don’t be upset about this. Try to avoid salt which can lead to water retention
13. BEFORE you start the cleanse, have a plan for healthy eating afterwards. You have a fresh start … use it.
14. This is not a diet, but an accelerated program to quickly lose some weight and detoxify.

Lemon Juice Detox


CocktailThinking of trying the lemon juice detox? Lemons have been used for many years in detoxification, and the lemon juice detox, uses lemons too. Note: the lemon juice detox is different from the lemon detox diet, as it uses just hot water and the juice of fresh lemons. You are also not expected to fast while detoxing, which many people find is achievable for their first experience in detoxing.

The recipe is quite simple and easy for the detox … just one cup of hot water, the juice of an organic lemon (important!) and one or two teaspoons of sugar to taste.

Use hot water for the full effect, and preferably drink this once in the morning at the start of the day. For the rest of the day, drink plenty of fresh, filtered water.

Why lemon juice? It aids your liver in flushing out toxins which have been absorbed into your body. The detox process should be done daily, each morning, on a continues basis.

This is an easy detoxification and that is it’s virtue. You need just three ingredients to make it, you can do it in minutes, and it can replace your morning beverage of coffee or tea. Replacing your caffeine beverage with the lemon juice detox is the sacrifice you will have to make while detoxing. If missing your beverage worries you, try adding high energy foods to your daily diet to replace the ‘lift’ you experience from your coffee or tea.

This detox can also help many people lose weight, as part of a diet focused on wellness.

If the lemon juice detox, or cayenne pepper diet, seems too extreme for you, try this lemon juice alternative. You probably have everything you need in your kitchen already.

The Lemonade Detox Diet

The Lemonade Detox Diet requires fresh lemon juice and not store-bought or juice from concentrate. Use only organic lemons to make your own juice for the cleanse.

You can find organic lemons at quality supermarkets or at your green grocer. Consider buying a quality juicer or an attachment for your KitchenAid mixer, if you have one. Depending upon the size of the lemon, you can get 1/4 cup of juice from a good lemon.
