Has anyone tried the Cayenne Pepper, maple syrup, lemon detox water diet.? I hear it gives good results but Im wondering at what cost..I was told you lose 10 lbs in 3 days just from drinking it.

    just no!

    you do not need to detox and the above diet basically sheds water weight that you will immediately replace as soon as you start eating food again.

    Cayenne pepper water? Doesn't sound like food OR nutrition.

    Total nonsense. You don't need a detox. And some weird nasty flavored water won't make you lose weight.

    What if I were to mix it with some protein powder? Could I lose and make gains at the same time?

    You're not going to lose 3lbs of fat in 10 days even drinking an evil concoction like this..... there are no shortcuts, no magic bullets and when you see the words cleanse or detox your BS detector should be on red alert.......

    Stick to the basics, a modest caloric deficit based on a healthy, balanced diet. (I know, common sense, gradual, healthy weight loss doesn't sell books......)

    Very very very bad idea. I wish that thread was still around where the guy did the "master cleanse" and ended up having an accident in bed...on his wife.

    Every morning I start off when I wake up with a 16 oz glass of water with 5 or 6 drops of lemon oil and a dash of cayenne pepper. With how I am feeling I will add vitamin C or baking soda to it. This is not a diet for me, one glass first thing in the morning before anything else. I have been doing this over 2 years now, no problem.

    There is a couple who are on trial for the death of their son because they gave him this drink to "detox" him of his meningitis.

    I heard a raw chicken diet could have you losing even more, let me know how that goes.

    Especially if you leave it out of the fridge for a while first!

    naw sorry that "diet" is BS. You can't lose 10 lb of fat in 3 days by doing this, or by anything else.
