Water

[Trying]

So I'm on day 2 of the cleanse. I feel good, I haven't even really been hungry.

Yesterday I drank only the lemonade, but I also drank about a gallon of water. I also drank a gallon of water the day before the cleanse. After reading the book it seems that much of the healing power comes from the lemons themselves and I am worried that drinking that much water dilutes the lemon and renders it less effective.

I decided, today, to drink very little water on top of the lemonade, only drinking pure water when I feel a bit dehydrated during the day.

Does anyone have any advice on the water? It should be noted that I don't normally drink too many liquids during the day, but I started drinking on Sunday and just didn't stop.

I think it depends on how fast you want to detox and how easily you want to flush toxins out of your system.

Peter's book says if you want to take it easy "drink enough additional water so that you have drunk at least once ounce of water or lemonade for each two pounds of body weight each day."

people that need to take it easy are
1. seriously overweight
2. multiple-year history of medical drugs
3. allergic to many things

Other than that it does say "you may drink as much spring or purified water as you wish and occasionally some mint tea"

I'm thinking you need to at least drink some water to stay hydrated.
