Sorry this is so long in comming. I don't get to read much, but saw that you had gone so long with no answer.

I was like you, I knew I looked bad, - Heck, I felt bad! I had no interest in the way I looked either. I would see all the thin healthy people out enjoying life and wearing all those cute clothes and I was stuck wearing biggggggg clothes. Finally I knew no one could change me, I had to do it myself. It is not easy, but I know it is for the better. I hate lemonade, I hate syrup, I hate cayenne pepper! But put them together and they're not that bad! I know this drink is going to make me better. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I am on day 7 of 10 maybe 20, and even people I work with are impressed! They say I "glow". Ha! I don't know about that, but I do feel better and I don't get mad so easy anymore. I've lost 7 lbs and I can tell it in my clothes. I have more energy than I've had in years, I even work out at night instead of going home and eating and going to bed!

The SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is terrible. I can't do it all at once. Here is what I do: 1st thing in the morning, I pee, head to the kitchen where my SW is waiting from the night before, I down half of it. I take my shower, wash my hair and so on. I then down the other half. I feel like I'm going to explode! But I don't. I finish my makeup and hair and by the time I'm ready to get dressed, here it comes! I keep going until I'm ready to leave for work and then start drinking my lemonade when I get to work 30-45 mintues later. (I don't want to start drinking sooner, because of the long drive I have).

Don't beat yourself up - use the tea instead of the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) if you can do that easier.

Be sure you have the right kind of salt (Sea salt)

Come on you can do it. Go out tonight have one last meal and drink your tea before bed. Make everything up the night before, so it's ready in the morning. I make mine up in a big jug, but then pour it into small plastic coke bottles, (10oz) and keep them in the frig. I found that carring a large container around is not only burdensome, it seems like too much to drink. If you break it into smaller ones it seems like it might not be enough! When you empty one, rinse it out and fill it with water, drink one bottle of water between bottles of lemonade.

You will feel so much better!!! Of course the first 3 days are the hardest. Just stay busy and think about how you will look and feel when it's over! It's not like you can never eat again! God forbid!

Good luck, CHEERS!

you should go through about 80-120 oz a day. drink more!!!
usually, its about 3/4 to 1 gallon a day.
the recommendation is 10 to 12 servings of the 10oz. cup per day (comes out to about six lemons a gallon)

hydrate!!!!
