I proceeded to make coffee and breakfast for John and Daphne, but quickly noticed that the laxative tea was kicking in. AND QUICK! I drank some last night, and will continue to do it every night until the cleanse is finished. So, as a result of the fast acting laxative, I was unable to make breakfast.
I made my first glass of the lemonade for breakfast. It was SPICY! I didn't think the cayenne pepper would have that much of an effect on the taste. And the grade B syrup is very rich tasting. I drank the first glass quickly, and felt no signs of hunger for hours after that. I ended up drinking another glass around 10:30, before taking off to the park so Daphne and I could have a picnic with John. I packed myself another glass of lemonade and drank it around 12:30 while John chomped on some home made grilled stuffed burritos I made for him.
John went back to work and Daphne and I hung around the park until 1:30, when I started to feel like I needed to get home to have some ice water.
I had my fourth glass just 20 minutes ago. Aside from a very slight headache, I feel totally fine.
I am disappointed in the taste of the lemonade though. If I were to give up early, it would be because of the taste of the lemonade not being very good- not because I needed to eat food.
I was telling a friend of mine yesterday about a cleanse that I was about to do. I described it to her and she replied with "oh, the crack juice diet?" I was confused, and she went on to say that it's sometimes referred to as that because of the energy you have while having no desire to eat. I have to say, this is so true. I have a good amount of energy, and really am fine without eating.
Anyway, I must get out and fertilize my garden. Part of me is now thinking that the timing of this diet wasn't very good. I have SO much fresh cilantro just waiting to be eaten! I think it'll hold over til next weekend though.
