You can try taking the cayenne pepper in capsule form. Or, you could drink all the ingredients separately, I’ve heard of some people doing that. good luck!
Hi, i just finished my Day3 on the lemonade diet. So far so good :) Ive been losing 1kg (2.2lbs a day) since i started. I just want to know, how often can a person do the MC in a year? I think detoxing is really necessary from time to time, but I dont want to overdo it. Thanks!
