[jiafei08]

OMG, u look so awesome in your latest video! It is amazing to see the change you have brought to your body in two years. Can you please send me info about your juicer and websites that has the juice feast recipes? I'm really eager to try it. Thank you so much! Which farmer's market do yoi go? I'd love to meet and talk with you. You are such an inspiration!!!

[flowerpotent]

It's so freaky looking at you, because you look just like me! Who knows, maybe we're related somehow. Anyway, I just started the cleanse so I'm going to watch your results to see what the cleanse will do for me. Thanks.

I add a lil bit squeezed lemom for a tad better taste :)

[Youknoewhat]

im Drinking it right now and its not the best taste... :/ it has that spice to it because of the pepper. very Nasty...

[snugglecharee1]

I did just start today and im drinking the drink right now and i feel a little dizzy is that normal?

[myroadhome]

Well... I experienced dizzyness off an on while on the MC. If its just been less than 24 hours not much is going on yet in terms of detoxing symptoms. Perhaps you need another swig of the lemonade, or drink it more frequently. Another thought might be if you have some sort of sugar disorder (like diabetes)... the maple syrup would not be good for you if you were diabetic. Good luck. The experience changes each day.

@myroadhome

Guys you have to be so careful with this....Your bodies electrolyte balance is so fragile and it is in charge of so many important things i.e...herat function etc...

my boyfriend and I are starting the diet we had started on monday sept 21 this is our second day im trying to lose 25 to 30 lbs i hope i can do it for 10 or 14 days but i have a ? do we have to do the salt and water

[myroadhome]

Hi beautifulricanmami,

Thats awesome you are starting the MC. The salt water flush works the best however you can substitute another laxative tea in the morning instead. That means 1 tea at night and another in the morning. That is the tea made with "senna leaf"... GOOD LUCK! Its tough but totally worth it. : )

[vanessaguevara]

i want to piuck the sea salt, can we cahange it to more laxative tea?

[myroadhome]

yes, you can do the laxative tea in the morning as well as at night if you cannot do the SWF. The trick with the SWF is getting the proportions just right. Its 2 TEASPOONS salt diluted in 32 oz. of warm water.

Good luck!

[jessicajane2611]

Hey :)

I started the detox today.

can you please tell me how you went overall? how much weight did you loose? and did it stay off?

Jess

[gigidiva92]

wow good luck you look amazing. how old can you be to this diet, older than 18??

[myroadhome]

I am not sure if there is an age limit for doing the MC... Every person is different. Perhaps you should do a bit of research if you are under 18 and are concerned. Good Luck!

[myroadhome]

In the Glickman book I refer to in the day 2 video - he says that epsom salt will work as an alternative (not preferred, but okay) for the SWF. Are you preparing to do the MC or are you on it already? Good luck! and post your experience

[goanyways]

anybody know if i can use epsom salt rather than sea salt for the salt water flush?? please reply if you know about this... thnx!

[SlimmingSilhouette09]

i do the salt flush even without the lemoande diet as a clear out in general once in a while. it is harsh and what happened to you is normal, that happened to me for first 3-4days when i first did it. then it was like woah.

[SlimmingSilhouette09]

i'm doing it too, started today, u sound so much like me, fooood!!! lol. i'ma miss it.

u no way look 40, you look great.

[fredalala]

good luck to u too!

[myroadhome]

I am so glad to receive you comments! I had to meet with someone today at a coffee shop (I had a hot mint tea) and it was a test of my will power.

Keep it up WW4Me.

[WeightWatchers4Me]

hi! I'm on to day 2 and it's 6:00pm already so the day is almost over! I feel good, I think I mostly feel good because I'm proud of myself. I think anyone that does this even if they don't finish should be proud of themselves! good luck to u on day one, and feel free to chat me up on here!

[myroadhome]

The lemon is a great idea...thanks!

The salt I used was a "natural sea salt" from the salt lakes here in the US. It actually has little flecks of color (pink and brown). I am wondering if I need to (dare I say) add more to the SWF next time?

[Missthomas323]

Hey there!

The salt water doesn't taste so bad to me, I think it depends on the kind of salt. What kind of salt did you buy? What I did in the past was add a little bit of lemon to make the water taste better. GOOD LUCK!!!
