For 10 days our heroes will consume nothing but H20, maple syrup, lemon juice and some fiery cayenne pepper. Will they make it?

OK, so what's up? Did you guys start? How is it going? I am on Day 3 and am feeling great. I have been very strict about the cleanse, but I have a confession. Today I had a double shot of wheatgrass. I have had horribly bad Death Breath and I was hoping that a little chlorophyl might sweeten my system. Seems to have helped. Good luck you guys!
*Don't commit to anything physically or emotionally challenging during your first 5 days as you may not have the energy.
*Cut out caffeine 3 or 4 days before you start the Cleanse. You don't want a caffeiene headache while adjusting to life on lemonade.
*Heat up the salt water before drinking it--much easier.
*Treat yourself in other ways. Get a massage, apply a fancy face mask, splurge on some new candles or whatever will make you happy.
*A small electric juicer is the way to go. We find it takes 3 lemons per every 32 ounces of lemonade unless you use a Meyer lemon in which case you'll only need 1.
*Pal around with your Cleanse partner. A movie night never felt so comforting.
*Cravings are normal. Write down the healthy ones and promise yourself a raincheck.
*Take a walk during lunchtime at work. Just because you're not eating doesn't mean you don't need a break.
*Meet friends out for herbal mint tea. Social, low key and totally kosher.
*Head to work with two bottles of lemonade minus the water. Add water at work--much lighter for transport.
