For a couple years now I have considered doing one of those 10 day cleansing diets but never made a commitment to try it.  However, I really feel this year more than any other is the year to take the bull by the horns and cleanse me - inside and out.  Gone is 2008.  The year had a lot of really great times and memories but it also had a lot of drinking and smoking and unhealthy eating.  So I have decided to detox and cleanse my body of all the impurities I have been polluting myself with.  I decided to do the 10 day Lemonade diet.  Today is my first day and everything I have read said days 1 and 2 are the hardest to get through.  The diet recommends drinking 4 cups of water with 2 tsps of uniodized salt water.  Couldn’t drink it all.  only drank about 1/2 of it.  Uck!  The lemonade stuff is not terrible.  It really does taste like lemonade at first…until the cayenne pepper hits the back of my mouth and burns!!  I have to drink about a gallon of this stuff each day for 10 days.  Each night I’m suppose to drink a herbal laxative tea.  I will report back each day with my updates.

Have any of you done a detox/cleansing diet before?  If so, what where your experiences (good and bad)?
