As the Lemonade Diet begins to wrap up, we generally begin to see the effects coming into focus. A few of us don’t experience the effects – whether weight loss, or improved skin, or lost inches, or a sense of well-being – until later in the cleanse. Each of us feels them in different ways and at different times. The Lemonade Diet can feel either easy or hard, at different times in the process, and each different time we do it. But by day nine we should all be gaining the confidence or getting ready to quit. Either way, it’s almost done.

This time tomorrow you will be deciding whether you are going to quit the Lemonade Diet and move onto the Ease-Out. Way to go! I knew you could do it. It was hard, it was easy, it was SO WORTH it. One more day until you get to taste something new!

Day 9—feel good, clear in body and mind. I eliminated so much stuff, even today. And it is empowering to know I can get through this, clean out my system and gain spiritual, emotional, and physical benefits. I lost 13 pounds :)

DAYS 6 THROUGH 9: PHASE TWO
It’s actually been 14 days without solid food for me and the last three days have been very rough!. Not about cravings as much as some social hurdles I’ve had to leap over.
Day 6: Friday the cast of a show I’m working on went out to a restaurant together. I had to go as the organizer of the event, plus I wanted to go. I like spending time with people. Witnessing all of my friends eating–many of the foods were the ones I would like to avoid forever if possible–and the physical intensity of the day (I was doing a lot of heavy lifting to get things set up) made it hard to keep up my lemonade intake. I was pretty woozy a lot of the time. fortunately I was carrying a cold pack with lemon/syrup mixture and a bottle of cayanne.
Day 7: The following day we hosted a party at my home. My husband did the shopping and did a great job buying healty foods (including veggie, chicken, and turkey “sausage”, whole wheat buns, tons of fresh veggies). He also bought crackers, cheese, nuts and those sesame sticks that seem healthy but I know are loaded with fat and salt. It wasn’t so much the cravings, as I said, but the having foods at my fingers tips so that every time one of those pauses in the conversation occured—the ones that usually give one the impulse to toss back a few almonds, or slice into the cheese wedge I had to remind myself, “you’re cleansing buddy, no nibbling!”
Day 8: Yesterday was the worst. A local business threw a benefit chili cook-off! I had to go because, again, I am the primary organizer of the group and it would have been noticed, also also, I feel, an insult to the hard work they put in. It was easy to pass on the meat chili’s. Being vegetarian seems to serve as an excuse in all situations nowadays but there were amazing looking healthy options at the event, including two veggie chilis and I knew that the hostess had made one of the veggie chili’s especially for me (including butternut squash to make it beautiful). I felt compelled to dab a little on my tongue just to be able to tell her honestly that I appreciated it. I put a little sauce on my tongue and then (very discreetly) spit it out in a napkin. Talk about having your head in the lion’s mouth. I must say, nothing about the chili was really tempting, and my tongue couldn’t do much with the flavor. It was a little like coming out of the dark into bright, bright sunlight, only beofre my eyes (tongue) could adjust, I shut the door on it by clearing my palate with some peppermint tea. The thought of being compeled toe at, however, was very annoying and a little unsettling. I’m still amazed by the power of food—the importance placed on eating–in social settings.
Day 9 (Today): Now, I’m a day away from 10 days of this phase of my cleanse. I must say, I’ve been very forgetful. I went upstairs to get my lemons (which I’d hidden away during the party, and by the time I got to the top of the staris I’d forgotten what I went up for. This is causing me to miss drinking glasses throughout the day which I know is only making me more loopy and forgetful. Next time I will be more methodical about making a schedule (as I do when I juice cleanse) and sticking to it.
Can’t complain too much. It’s day 9. I feel fine. I’m not grumpy or sad. My later day movements yesterday were absolutely clear! That was awesome! I feel the slight gurgle of my salt water flush making its way through my intestines, which means I need to cut this short. I may post tomorrow. Really just wanted to capture my feelings about the weekend. Thanks for reading.
Peace
