PERSONALLY
i drink 3 glasses a day / 1 quart

and follow it with 1 - 2 quarts of water

i don't fast

i simply drink the lemonade

it keeps me from drinkin' pop

or as they say in the south, soda

for variety

i mix Lemon, Limes or Key Limes

varies the flavor

keeps it more interesting

i just juice a BUNCH of lemons &/or limes

i use an electric citrus juicer (faster)

i use grade "A" pure Maple Syrup

because that is what Wal*Mart & Target sell

gotta go to the flea market to get grade "B" or "C"

it's on the list of things to do

so i have juice from lemons &/or limes

i add 1/2 as much maple syrup to the mix

2 TBL juice + 1 TBL maple syrup

i add it to 8 oz = 1 cup of water

i have 1 liter bottles that had

Mountain Dew / pop in them

add 9 Tbl of the mixture

add 3 cups of water

makes about 1 quart of lemonade

i drink 1 - 2 quarts daily

i also drink 1 - 2 quarts of water

for each quart of lemonade

it cuts the sugar, snack, pop cravings

i STILL eat

however, i don't eat anything FRIED or processed

i eat YOGURT & Veggies

if i am gonna be home

i add the cayenne pepper & drink a glass

do NOT add the cayenne pepper to the quart

of lemonade unless you plan to drink the whole

quart in under 20 mins

anyways

this is what I do

it's why the pants got too big

gotta start exercising again

it helps
