For all of those who have inquired…I am doing the Lemonade Detox…basically, it’s organic lemons, Grade B Maple Syrup (natural form of glutamine) and cayenne pepper. It’s a 10 day detox but most people do it for 3. I have never done it before, but one of my clients is planning on doing it in January and asked me what I thought of it….so, stupid me wanted to be able to give her an informed opinion…

According to my research, this detox is suppose to cleanse your system of impurities and make your body ready for clean eating. Most people’s digestive system is so clogged with preservatives and sludge that even when they eat right, the nutrients doesn’t quite make it through for a few weeks..this jumpstarts the process.

So far, if the goal of this detox is to make you extremely grouchy, lust at the sight of food advertisements, and go to bed at an ungodly early hour…then it’s going great!!

One benefit of the program is that I’ve really gotten into the martyr thing!! I have planned out a week full of healthy meals for my kids and busily clean house while they are eating the scrumptious smelling pot roast that has been simmering in the crockpot all day while I sip on my lemon juice.

It’s really not so bad…It’s actually making me see how much of an emotional eater I am…and I know that those egg whites and oatmeal are gonna taste so good when I finally get them again!!

Wish me luck…and remember, keep my children in your prayers.
