According to Beyonce:
“I lived on water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 14 days. It was tough; everyone was eating and I was dying.”
It can certainly feel like that when you are avoiding food and drinking only the lemonade. Understanding hunger is crucial to success on the Cayenne Pepper Diet.
There are 2 goals you want to accomplish on Day 1, and they are:
1. Getting used to the sensation of going throughout the day with an empty
stomach
2. Learning the difference between needing to eat and wanting to eat.
You’re going to be hungry, period. Being hungry doesn’t hurt!
• It doesn’t manifest itself in any physical way such as scarring
• You can’t call 911 and tell them you’re hungry and expect a response
So on day 1 you will be putting your hunger into perspective, and realizing that it’s
manageable for you to live with for a few days.
