I did a 5 day lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup drink cleanse. Be prepared for the strangest bowel movements of your life. Good luck ;)

My boss did that! Did it really have benefits? I mean, I know the effects it has, but benefits?

That's one reason I don't mind juicing, -nonprocessed fruits and veggies that haven't had the nutrients boiled out of them I can get behind. Even if it doesn't do much, I'm still putting good stuff inside me :)

It made me lose weight quickly and "flush out toxins". Not sure about the second thing but the first was indisputable. I felt "cleaner". It was rough though, I felt really out of it and the hunger pangs sucked. I didn't do it as long as some others I know... they said they felt a clarity that was amazing after 7 days.

I'm not doing it again.
