I don't think you're ready for this jelly

I recently heard that Beyonce lost 20lbs in 10 days on a lemonade diet/cleansefor her recent roll in some movie.
Here's how it works...
Special Lemonade:
1 cup water
2 tablespoons of lemonade
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
1/10 table spoon of Cheyenne pepper

That's it. That's all you have all day everyday for 10 days.

Supporters claim that it detoxes your system, or some junk, and blah blah blah blah.

Here's how i think it really works, you're having basically 0 calories. Yet, you're boosting your metabolism with the cheyanne pepper, spiking up your blood sugar with the maple syrup, all with a delicious lemony flavor.

But who gives a crap. If I lose weight fast, keep it coming.

So I decided to try it beginning with lunch on Monday August 21, 2006-- I had had a muffin and a mimosa for breakfast (it was to benefit a food pantry in providence, ri--so it was for a good cause. Then comensed my diet. Well, 24 hrs later. I was 2lbs lighter. On wednesday I had lost another lbs and today another 2. That's a total of 5 lbs from Moday- Thursday. I think that my secret is that i've chosen to modify the diet

In the morning I have a sensible breakfast: about 500 calories (to keep up my metabolism, and give me energy to work out)

For example, this morning I did about 20 minutes of strenght training, then I had 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 1/2 cups of special K and 1 cup soy milk. Then drink drink drink. After work I went on the efx for 50 minutes and burned a total of 710 calories.

I feel like I wish I could chew something-- but other than that it works out great! There are some who might say that this is incredible unhealthy: but so is putting anorexic models on fashion magazine covers, so i'm just buying into the hype, like a good Young Urban Professional should


The fact of the matter is, on monday I weight 206lbs (yes, 206 lbs at 5'6") and today I weight 201. Long live LEMONADE!!!
