I recently did the MC for 10 days and am planning on starting again next monday. The first few days of my recent cleanse I thought the drink tasted ok but toward the end of the 10 days I really liked it.

I noticed that the MC reforms your taste buds. When a person eats a diet composed of lots of processed foods with a lot of salt and sugar added, it takes a lot of either to make something taste good. The drink should have equal parts lemon juice and maple syrup so it shouldn't really taste sweet or sour.

Keep it up. You will lose weight but if you're only doing it to lose weight it will be tough. I tried it twice before and failed after day 3. This last time, I decided to do it for health reasons and 10 days was no problem. Good luck and I promise it will start tasting better.

It may take awhile for your taste buds to adjust.

The cayenne pepper may require some getting used to, if you are not accustomed to it. I was taking much larger quantiities a few months ago to aid blood clotting (I was getting heavy nosebleeds), so the MC's doseage is very small (to me).

I have (usually) been keeping to the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and I have lost ~ 15Lbs, as at Day 7 - I am on Day 8 at the moment.

I have read various items that one could lose (up to) 20lbs over the 10 days. I would assume that the more overweight one is, the more likely the weight loss will be nearer to (or exceed) the 20lbs.

FastBoySlow... you are correct....

I myself cut my syrup to 1 teaspoon for each serving... I lost 20 lbs in 28 days.. I did not have that much to lose.

I too have found that the more I drank the lemonade and the more days that passed, I rather enjoyed the taste.

As the days rolled by I could even smell the lemons much more.

The cleanse does highten smell, taste and various other things.

Best of luck to you on your journey...
