Lemonade Diet Update
I'm now on day 17, and doing well. Still burning lots of fat, as evidenced by the purple urinalysis strips and the 20 pound weight-loss. Yeah, you read that right. I now weigh 185 instead of 205. That's a tremendous improvement. I've also lost almost two clothing sizes: my 18s are now way to big, my...

Explanation of the Lemonade Diet
I have received a number of queries from those who are concerned about my current food intake. So I thought I'd clarify what I'm doing, what it's supposed to do, and why I'm doing it. I am now on my twelfth day of following the protocol for a Master Cleanse that is commonly called the Lemonade Diet....

15 Pounds Lost in Two Weeks!
Yep, you read that right. I weighed in this morning and I'm down 15 pounds from where I was when I started my new regimen... 9 pounds lost in the 10 days I've been on this lemonade diet. Now, I can hear the skeptics saying "Yeah, it's all water and will come back when you go back to eating food...

The Lemonade Diet, Days 7 - 9
I'm still following the Lemonade Diet, though there have been ups and downs. I find myself very bored with the lemonade. I dream about food at night. If I could just suppress the desire for food, it would be so easy. LOL. Isn't that the plaint of every dieter? I am seeing much progress. My face is...

Days 5 and 6 of the Lemonade Diet
Day 5, continued: By the time C's basketball practise was over, I was feeling okay enough to take the kids to Chick-Fil-A for supper. I felt kind of silly sitting there sipping my lemonade, but I resisted the wild urge to snag one of the boys' nuggets. And when we got home, my head was still aching,...

The Lemonade Diet
Some excerpts from my journal to catch this blog up on my progress with this diet, which is really a powerful detox regimen: Day 1: Okay, spicy, ultra-sweet lemonade. Rather odd flavour combination going on here. The spicy doesn't bother me; one of my favourite drinks in summer is the juice from my...

CHANGE OF PLANS.
I am starting the Lemonade Diet this weekend, possibly tomorrow. I want to get the first few days over with on a weekend when the children are with their dad, so they aren't here if I get irritable or snarly. If I don't start this weekend, I have to wait until the first weekend of March to start....

6 Down, 69 To Go
Okay, the first's week's measurements are in. The six-pound loss is exciting, especially in light of the fact that this is the week when I usually put on 5 to 10 pounds. I've also lost an inch or two in some places. I did great with my eating yesterday, but not so good for lunch today. I knew I...

I'd Forgotten How Strong...
...these food cravings can be. Especially the sweet. I want something sweet. Not drippy, gooey sweet. Just sweet. Right now, strawberries are filling the gap. But I don't know how long I can make them do. I miss chocolate. This weekend I hope to get to one of the local low-carb emporia to get some...

Hanging In There
I stayed low-carb today, though it wasn't easy. I am really, really wanting something sweet. I did well, though. After lunch, when it was worst, I ate three strawberries. That settled me down, though it wasn't exactly what I wanted. (Chocolate!) Mom fixed one of my favourite dinners... stir-fried...
