Hey all. I just realized that I've only been taking HALF the amount of SYRUP AND LEMON JUICE in my mix! It's day four right now, I feel pretty good, but I'm wondering if I screwed up! Should I keep going with the correct amounts until the end, should I keep taking HALF? or should I quit and start again in three months? HOPING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE!! Thanks!

Just start taking the amount you're supposed to be taking and maybe go a few days longer than you planned. That's not that big of a deal. You're feeling great so it can't be too much of a problem. :)

i am doing that too. i started out with the full amount. but it was just too sweet. i couldn't drink it. i read a post on here where someone used NO MS for the whole cleanse. she lost more weight she said. someone else said it made them hungrier. i haven't been hungry. and my energy is really good. so i figure if it's not broke...

I use the normal amount of syrup throughout the day bacause I found that I was starving without it. I do have quite the oral fixation so I spread out my mixture in more drinks, just not a concentrated, all day long. This has worked for 13 days. Once you discover the recipe that works for you, just keep doing it....

Hi there, no don't quit you are doing just fine! Start now to add the correct amount of fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice per drink. As far as the MS, some use 1/2. I used 2. It worked for me and still lost alot of weight. Those who use no MS are putting themselves at a huge medical risk.
Keep going, you are doing fine!

hey, i know that you can take more MS than 2 tbsp, but what about the lemon juice? i read in the book that you should not change that, i.e. 2 tbsp per 10 oz, but i am:confused: measuring challenged so was wondering if it's okay to use more lemon juice than 2 tbsp? i have this theory that more is okay but less is not.
also, how much more MS can i use? i am on day 1 and really hungry - stomach rumbling and some abdominal cramping. i put in extra MS, but maybe i need more?
thanks

Same here too, I use the 2 tbsp MS, but my lemonade is so fresh, will it be ok to alter the measurements to my liking too?:confused: Thanks...

Hi, I really suck at measuring too. What I do is use 1/2 lemon for every eight ounces of water. In addition, I find that the syrup is really too sweet so I only use 1tbs per 8 ounces. Then again I like it a little bit tart.
This has been working tremendously well for me, no hunger or anything. I think it depends on you. Don't over-deprive yourself just to lose weight, you'll end up trashing your metabolism
ms 1 - lost 13 pounds
ms 2 - lost 12 pounds
kept it all off and am still losing.

Hi Niks, you can play around with the MS and the cayenne, but not the amount of lemon juice. It has to stay at 2 tbsp for each drink as Burroughs states. Since not all lemons have the same amount of juice, it is really necessary to measure the juice. Sometimes I have to use more lemons, sometimes less.

My eliminations have actually been more solid and less liquid the last few days. I have just been chalking it up to detox as most people on the boards do. However, one thing I have changed in the last few days is taking a little bit of my lemon after I juice it and cutting off some of the pump and putting it in my lemonade. I don't do it every single time, but maybe with a few LA's a day. Could this be the reason my BM's are more solid? I have also thought maybe adding the concentrated lemon matter is helping to get loose what I have stuck on the walls of my colon. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for reading!;)
