Maple syrup

Is it ok if I nix the syrup...?

[silverfish]

I wouldn't. That is where you get a lot of the sustinence for this cleanse. Good luck!

I don't think I follow you...Substanance? Its pure sugar with little to no nutritional value

windowasgirl-

I think you need to re-read the book.
Page 17 tells you all about the nutritional value of the maple syrup, and why it must be used.

You can cut down on the amount, but it is a key ingredient.

-Hope this helps!

I'm on day 4 of my first MC...doing well so far, except had the WORST detox symptoms on day 2 - severe neck pain, up to the base of my skull. It throbbed, I was nauseas and nothing made me comfortable.

It was gone in the morning - thankfully.

My goals have been small - to get through each day at a time, and it's getting easier. Tomorrow is day 5 and I'll be half way through already!

A couple of suggestions:

I prefer the lemonade warm - it's like a tea, or at lunch time like a "soup" or "broth". At least that's what I tell myself.

I took myself off of caffeine/tea (my daily a.m. drink of choice) a week before the cleanse and altered my diet the week before with all veggies and soups, fruit at breakfast. It helped A LOT. I am not a vegan, or raw foodie, but I do like to eat healthy so this wasn't a difficult transition.

Anyone else have neck pain?

RIBBIT!
