Realemon vs fresh lemons?

[Guest]

Hey guys

I'm haven't done a MC yet, but I have been drinking a few huge glasses of water with a ton of lemon juice in the for the past few weeks- I already feel a lot less stressed and depressed!

My question is: Can I use ReaLemon lemon concentrate? Here are the ingredients: Water, concentrated lemon juice, sulphites, lemon oil.

I think if I could just use a huge bottle of this (it says 21 lemons worth), I could actually stick to the diet instead of juicing individual lemons every time.

Also, I am getting pretty overweight due to an unhealthy diet, while I'm not doing this to loose weight, will I loose quite a bit?

Thanks for the advice,
Chris

Hi Chris,

If you are going to do the true Master Cleanse then you need to follow the plan exactly and use real lemons, preferably organic. Get yourself a juicer at Target for less than $10 – that will help a lot!

Remember, the organic lemons, the organic grade B maple syrup and the cayenne pepper will be your sole source of nutrients so you want to be sure to get the very best and purest forms so that your body gets all the vitamins and minerals it needs.

Don’t be lazy – get to squeezin’

If you use a pre-squeezed variety you might want to try Santa Cruz Lemon juice, they also make Lime as well. I used it when time was tight. It's organic and pure juice.

I have that, too. I use fresh but there have been times that I spaced out and didn't have any limes or lemons and voila, I had the organic santa cruz lemon and lime juices to use. it's better to use that then go off your fast if you can't get to the store right away, or pass out!
it's organic and it's just the juice.

due to an unhealthy diet,

yo chris,

umm please don't take this as an attack against you

If you are really looking at changing yourself start squeezing. don't settle with the lazy way to do things. prepackaged premade manufactured food is unhealthy, PERIOD. remember once something is processed it starts ROTTING, to stop this manufacturers load it with preservatives to keep the food from ROTTING.

I do this cleanse to ween myself from the SAD (standard american diet) to ween myself from all this instant crap that is fed to us from factories 500 miles away.

you said yourself that you were slightly depressed. get yourself in the kitchen and start being creative with everything that is there. my philosophy is a healthy house and a healthy mind starts with a healthy well used kitchen. get outside and go to a market and get yourself some fresh food, I guarantee you that you will feel better after that.

while I'm not doing this to loose weight, will I loose quite a bit?

on the master cleanse your body's metabolism WILL slow down. you can feel this with the drop in regular body temperature and the chills that a lot of cleansers feel. Breaking the fast improperly can cause you to gain back even more weight than you started with. This is ESPECAILLY true if you resort back to prepackaged, premade factory meals again.

once again I apologize if this sounded like an attack against you but it really sounds like there are a lot of changes that you need to go through. I just wanted you to be aware of them. I really hope you do start the master cleanse it will be the first step on a path that will change your life.
