Expertise

Not that I would consider myself an expert at the Lemonade Cleanse, but through my experience I gained a better understanding of it.

My results - After 5 days in the mixture was repulsive and I would only intake water. The smell, taste, and appearance of the mixture brought a wave of nausea... yet the lack of food brought nothing but heaving. I lost a total of 9 pounds. For a 5 day "diet," I'd say success. For a 5 day cleanse, failure. Although I expected to loose a little weight, I never imagined I'd see my ribs and pelvic bones again. I could stand to lose a pound or 2, but not close to 10 pounds. (Imagine if I'd completed the 10 day challenge!) Aside from the weight loss, my overwhelming lack of energy was shocking. I believed the reports that claimed - high energy levels, normal productivity. Unfortunately, this was not my reaction to the Lemonade Cleanse. I will 'fess up and admit that this effect probably could/would have been reversed had I drank the full amounts of the mixture I was suppose to. But, I just couldn't.

Overall, I would recommend the Lemonade Cleanse for those interested in a crash diet. As for a healthy cleanse, to each his own. My reaction could be totally different from the next person (I truly believe this from the various blogs and sites I've read with recaps of other's experiences) but try it. It could become an annual cleanse to partake in - for you.
