Where's the Grade C Canadian maple syrup that's listed in the ingredients on the lemon detox web site
This really works
Can I buy the Palm Tree Syrup online? We live in a rural town and I don't know of any food store that sells it.
Really, Lemon Detox Diet is great detox with results! Welcome to visit my lemon detox blog: http://lemondetoxdiet.blogspot.com/
You can buy a brand of palm syrup/treacle called 'MD' KITHUL TREACLE for $7.00, 750ml. I got mine in Brisbane from Santoshi India House Brisbane. Their stores are located at Upper Mt Gravatt, Redcliffe, Strathpine and Cannon Hill. The number to call is 1300 101 888.
I am about to try this recipe with the MD Kithul Treacle. Has anyone had any success with this brand? (ie is the weight loss comparable to the "real" one?). Thanks.
Ive been researching many of these recipes and many websites say you can use 100% maple syrup (not flavoured ones). First day today and I'm really excited. I am also taking multivitamins to make sure I still get what I need to function.
True that everybody want to make an income and return from years of experimentation, however your approach shows ignorance, or rather primitive, since the quality make everything work or not. first this is not a weight loss program, it is a detox ----The maple syrup is only one and not the most important ingredient, besides every commercially made (even health food shop quality) showed inferior in kineziology muscle test on everyone. Either the quality--or the Aflatoxin in them (according to Dr Clark)make the products not bio-available, or can have adverse sideeffect to sensitive individuals. I personally did not find expensive since it is ready-made with heaps of information in the accompanying book.
how about if we use honey instead of maple syrup bcoz its inverted sugar and honey is an healthy option.
can anyone tell me where to buy palm tree syrup in sydney in the st george area i am having no luck at all
A friend of mine recommended this to me. Both her and hubby lost heaps of weight which they've managed to keep off for a month now. They liked it so much, they are going to do it just for an energy booster every 6months. I'm starting tomorrow using this homemade recipe. Bit nervous about how I will cope for 10 days without "real" food. But determined to kickstart weight loss and cleanse my body of gunge. Will post each day during 10 days and following 4 days of re-intro to norm food. Then once a week for a month to let others know if I've managed to keep off weight with healthy eating and regular exercise :-)
Made it through day one. 1kg lost so far (to be expected). Had the typical symptoms you'd expect from abstaining from food. A little light headed and nausea. Really missed the socialisation associated with food. Especially sitting down with the family for dinner! Hanging in there. Supposedly day3/4 is the turning point.
Sorry guys, I'm out! I've not been as sick as I was yesterday in years! I had to stop even though I understand the whole detox system and the fact that day 2/3 is the worst.The main problem was that I could no longer take the drink. Everytime I tried to drink it, I immediately began to vommit to the point where I was dry wretching.So I'm just going to have to loose weight the old fashioned way. Slowly, but surely. I've done it before and lost 30kgs. So surely I can lose the 12 kgs I've put on with my last pregnancy to get back down to my trim pre-baby bod again! Good luck everyone :-)
...im scared...
re: susan you can buy the palm tree syrup in health food shops.there are two of those in hurstville westfield. i just started the program today.don't know the results yet.the person next to me at work has a very nice sandwich and it's tempting me!!
well......, im gonna give this a go! i feel i have abused my body alot over the yrs. im hittin 30 and quit smoking in mid jan this yr, talking up more exercise and i feel i need to treat my body. as soon as i find this dam tree syrup it's on.... keep you all posted, just hope i dont get sick like poor mon.
i purchased the ingredients today im abit nervous to start...is there a chance i can use honey instead of palm tree syrup?? Im on fay blaster tablets but planning to stop im scared if i start this its going to effect my exam studies...should i purchase multivitamins on the side??
hey i live in tauranga new zealand where can i get the mayple syrup from that they are talking about in the recipe?
I am interested in using the recipes on your wedsite.. i was acually was wondering if the drinks really cleanse much. I am not lookingin for a little bit of gain loss but my physical body is always aching. do any of yall's recipes have anything clososes to what i tried to talk to you about..
Hello guys i am 19 i would really like to loose about 7 kilos atm i am 50kilos but for my height i am a little over weight unsure if i should try it but i really wanna look good again. how does it taste?
I have passed the 7 day lemon detox using the original product.Exceptional.It really works - Have lost 5 kilos - alot of power walking whilst on the detox.Feel great.look great.Inspired me to eat healthy for life.Basically I'd make up my own syrup by diluting palm sugar with hot water,and adding maple syrup or honey...just experiment yourself.Then make up the drink with lemon and cayenne pepper.IMPORTANT.you must drink a litre of salted water in the morning to purge your bowel....elminate waste.Eat the lemon pulp as ell if you like...Good luck all.
Hi Guys, I started this detox with my friend yesterday. She had little problem with the taste of the drink but I think it is revolting! It's not the worst I have ever tasted but it is certainly not something i will be able to stick to so I am going to try taking the ingredients in a different way. I am going to take 2 tablespoons 7 times a day of the syrup and add the lemon into water for the rest -making sure I drink the required amount of water. The senna tea is good but the salt is really hard to drink. I am going to replace that with the senna tea twice a day and a shot of salt water in the morning...see what happens. My friend is sticking to the traditional way so will keep you posted on how we go!! fingers crossed....
thinking about starting this in the next couple of days...What are the side effects you have incountered
i am 19 years of age...is this really healthy and the right timeing for my age?
im going to start the diet tomorrow i live in robina does n e one no where i can get the palm tree syrup in this area
Sooo I started my detox this morning... really scared to see how this day will go. I started off with the salt water flush...one word..disgusting!!! I couldn't do a full quart..I gave up.. so then I went to the Lemonade detox...feeling ok right now.. hope it last...i will keep you guy posted!
I started the Lemond Detox Diet this mornign, it's now 2.09pm and I feel like I am going to vomit. I have only had two glasses of the lemon drink stated above and one glass of Senna Tea. Omg the taste was horrible, I am gagging thinking about it. I think I will stick to just maintaining a healthy diet with plently of greens and lots of water... Please don't do it it's seriously so Yuck!!!!
Just threw up. It was like a horrible vile that was peppery from the cayenne pepper and all lemony. Worse that i'm at work too. Seriously don't do it. Anything that makes you chuck is not good for you. Good food and excersize is the only answer...!! Don't wate your money!
hey, umm, just wondering if this is like the real thing, and in my local supermarket they have Pure Canadian Maple Syrup, is that okay to use? Or can i use pure honey? and also how much weight is lost per week? cheers
want to start the lemon ditox diet but had no luck finding the palm tree syrup. Anyone know anywere i can buy it on the central coast nsw?
Hi, I started the lemon detox yesterday, I bought the proper kit from my health food shop though. So far so good except for the salt water drink. Yesterday I put it in the litre of water as required but could only get through half of it, today I thought i'd mix the salt into a bit of water and drink that then drink the litre of water.... within 10 mins I'd thrown up all the water I'd drunk as well as the salt. Tomorrow I might drink the litre of water and then try and shot the salt!! I'll see if I can keep that down! Apart from that everything is good. No hunger pains and the drink acutally tastes ok!
Well, I'm at the end of the 3rd day now and still can't stomach the salt water but apart from that it's all going smoothly. I served up roast chicken, potato salad and vegies for my daughter and partner for dinner and with my cast iron will managed to overcome the temptation to eat it myself!! I think I can get through the 10 days with no problems. It takes will power though!
I've heard about this detox for a while. I'm going to try it out. I'm starting tomorrow. Wish me luck guys. Plus all the best for the people trying it out with me.
Beginning of day 5 and still going strong :o) I must admit it was torture making dinner for the family last night but I did get through it! I have not done this for weight loss but more to rid my body of the nasty's I am constantly putting into it, hence I have not weighed myself at all, even before I started. But, I have noticed that weight has been coming off. At 58kg (130lbs I think??) I dont actually need to lose weight but as I say it is coming off. I'm thinking it would work wonders on overweight people :o) And good luck Elle!!!!
Thinking of doing this as well - just to get rid of nasties not to lose weight. Pls keep me posted on how it's going. Seems to me that the people succeeding are using the real product and those making it themselves are not enjoying it as much?
Hello I'm planning on going on the detox next week. Can anyone suggest where to get the syrup from in Sydney near the CBD?? Thanks also has anyone else done the detox and kept the weight off after? I'm just worried to do it and then pile the weight back on as soon as you start to eat (obviously have to eat healthily)
i started the detox today. Didnt start drinking it until 2:30 pm because i didnt have the ingredients yet. Havent ate anything all day, its 6:20 pm now. Ive had about 6 glasses of the detox, feeling good so far!
Could i use honey instead because i can't find the maple syrup anywhere
does anyone know if you can use the reallemon juice you can buy at the store?
Incase anyone is wondering,the madal bal syrup tastes like mollasses. It's very nice.
This is fabulous and it really works, I used standard maple syrup from the supermarket and it still worked. I use it every now and then when I want to lose a little weight and it makes you feel really good too.
Twelve months ago, I wanted to try this Lemon Detox Diet. The owner of the health food shop advised me to save my $$ and make the Lemon Detox drink myself with water,lemons,cayenne pepper and 100% Canadian Maple Syrup. So I did. Stuck to it for several days, and drank alot of water inbetween lemon drink. Yes I lost some weight, but lacked the energy I needed for strenuous exercise. Slowly started to put the weight back on soon after. Now losing the weight the correct way - dedicated exercise and healthy eating. Forget the promises that fast weight lose programs offer. In the long term, they don't work, and you don't know what the long term effects these will have on your body.
i made the detox myself, i found it on many sites, im using the 100 % maple syrup just from coles/woolworths.. tomoro will be my 4th day.. ive already lost 3 kgs.. i really dont wanna put the weight back on and I'm hoping that I'll last the 7 days without giving up.
Where do you buy the stuff to make the tea and the salt?
I started my detox last night and so far feel okay. I have found that the drink (I purchased the kit from the health food shop), while delicious at first sip has a very tree-like aftertaste. I am overcoming this by holding my nose while drinking it, I know it sounds silly but I will do whatever gets me through the week! I have also been focusing on the detox as my primary goal, if I lose weight that will be a pleasant side effect. Good luck everyone!
giving this a go. started yesterday and managed five glasses and ate a small dinner( didn`t like the thought of no solids all day), probably do the same today but try to drink more glasses. Feeling good though, not tired or anything, see how we are after a couple more days.
I am starting tomorrow so wish me luck.....I bought the Syrup at an Indian/ Sri lankan shop in liverpool called Indo Lanka....was called palm syrup hope this helps anyone in sydney area looking for the syrup.
how many times a day should the salt drink or senna tea be taken? should it be in the morning or night? help pls! i am starting this tomorrow!
I am in day 5 of 7 of the diet. I can recommend the kit. I have not used the salt water, you can have just the senna tea instead. I've lost weight and feel good. The book in the kit explains why the palm tree syrup is used and not other products such as maple syrup or honey. I ordered my kit from a heath shop here in Canberra.
Lee: Where can you buy the senna tea? i live in melbourne. Is it possible to purchase it at a local foodtore or a healthstore?
Thought about doing this for at least 5 minutes, but decided to just by a big bag of coke and root for 10 days straight instead. will keep evryone posted on how it goes.
I have started te diet today, I dont drink so much water so finding it really hard to drink so much of water.Lets see for how many days i can go on...
Day 2...Drinking 6 glasses of water made me sick, but i will do the seven day diet and will let you guys know, how much i lost.
Day 3-Guys its really working i hav lost 1kg already and i m thrilled.
hey cokemarathon, you get the coke and I'm up for the challange sounds much better than drinking lemon shit alone!!!
lol at cokemarathon :) i have done the detox before but could not last the 10 days, only got to day 5. i found it was a great kick-start to a healthy eating plan as even fruit and veg tastes amazing after you come of the detox. and also as the detox is so painful, it motivates you to eat healthily so as you don't have to go through it again. 2 years later, i'm trying to lose a few kgs after a great christmas... i make it with lemons, cayenne pepper, and real maple syrup (it's $8 instead of the $3 flavoured maple syrup at coles) at the suggestion of a health shop worker. seriously don't waste $75 on syrup.
Okay im really curious. Can somebody please tell me if this diet works i want to lose 20 kilos as i am over weight and have lost alot of self esteem. So does the lemon detox work??
well im going all out and giving it ago dont really wont to lose to much weight anything is good just feel like my body needs a cleanse so here goes nothing will keep u all posted first thing is to find the ingredents then its detox time
Hi all. My husband and I are starting this detox tomorrow (Monday) morning.We are using this recipe minus the cayenne pepper for the first day as we don't have it like I thought. LOL. Anyway I have heard that this detox is a good way to kick start weightloss because it resets the tastebuds, making eating junk/fatty foods not as desirable. I'm not sure I will last the 7 days (my husband is pushing for 10) but will be happy to last 3 as my understanding is that is a good minimum to do. I'm a bit nervous.
Thanks for the recipe, i bought the lemon detox diet in 2008 but never ended up doing it, i now have decided to take up the detox, i start tomorrow. Good luck to everyone trying to get to the ideal weight where there is a will there is a way. hope this works for me - i weigh 59kg and would like to be 54kg.
Why do you want to do this to your body, honestly? exercise more, eat less it is the only smart way to do it. You are losing water mostly, and you risk throwing your heart in arrythmia if you stuff up your electrolytes

I understand the appeal of this diet - it seems simple and promises results. Don't be sucked in though. The facts are: yes, you WILL lose "weight". Basically this is because the principles of this diet are founded on the notion of depriving your body of calories - basically, starving yourself. This is why they require the maple syrup - so that you don't experience a massive drop in blood sugar and faint. Think about it - if you eliminate the syrup and just have lemon water with cayenne, it is even more "effective" in terms of calories lost. But don't mistake weight loss with fat loss. When your body doesn't have enough calories (roughly it is about 2000 a day at least), it goes into starvation mode - basic evolutionary tactic - to continue living it needs to function and to function it needs calories, as they are literally the fuel for the machine. If there aren't calories available the body will start breaking down fat, muscle and tissue to use for fuel. This kills your metabolism off. Basically, your metabolism is a measure of your body's rate at which it burns up energy. Fat is virtually useless in burning energy. Muscle is what burns energy. When you lose muscle, you lose a lot of your "Worker Bees" to burn calories, hence your metabolism slows down, your body thinking that it doesn't require to work so hard anymore. This is why fad diets like this don't work - because as soon as you return to the real world, you will 100% definitely gain more weight than you lost, thanks to slow metabolism. There are no shortcuts. The more muscle you have, the more you will burn energy, even whilst sleeping or resting. Eat fresh fruit, vegetables, graines and legumes, and proteins (meat or soy etc) and so on. Make sure you exercise at least 3 times a week, break a sweat. This is how you make changes. Best of luck. xx

will try this myself, but to all who are looking for tree syryp - my health food lady said just to use maple syryp - will try and let you know how i travel..
I don't know what everyone is complaining about, the detox drink just tastes like weak cordial. After reading everyone's comments I was expecting the worst, but the hardest thing to drink is the salt mixture in the morning. Just harden up a bit, it's all good :)
lol find it funny how everyone is"starting tomorrow" arrh the famous war cry....tomorow
I bought the official pack. I've come back from a holiday which involved excessive eating and drinking so I'm hoping to get back to my previous slimmer self. Today is my third day. I had slight headaches yesterday but they've gone today. I'm surprised that i'm not hungry. I'm just bored of the flavour of the drink. I found the salt drink horrible, so have been drinking a diluted version. I'm hoping to hold out for the full week.
As my user name implies I have a week off work and I am trying to nurture myself and get back on track as far as my diet is concerned.. I am on day two of a fruit fast and have only been eating fruit and drinking lemon juice and water.. Found this lemon detox idea interesting and as I am finding the fruit fast quite easy, I think I will take it up a notch and attempt the lemon detox diet using the homemade ingredients.. I think I will take it a day at a time, however... See how we go...
I did this diet, it was really hard. I gave up eve of day 5. I lost 3kg on the first day but put it all back on thru the week, eating nothing so i dont know how that works. Health shop said it would have ben fluid retention and not uncommon.(They also highly reccomened against this diet and I got a good telling of.) Im two weeks after detox now and have never felt so low in my life. Im extremely tired and all i want to do is sleep. My face is exploding with more pimples then when i was a teenager and huge coldsores on my lips and face wich i never get. I have spent shitloads on probotics and multivitamins as they said i have pritty much flushed everything good out of my body. I know of allot of people that has done this detox and they have never ben so sick befor in ther hole life after doing this detox, constant flu's and colds. Being me I still had to give it ago regardless of what everyone alse has told me and now deeply regreat doing it.
Hey guys! This is my 3rd day! N so far I feel reli good, I drink up to six glasses a day, n hit the gym everyday to do running n lifting for at least 1.5 hrs! N I hv already lost 5lbs. So I guess the combination of this diet n sport is the best! But I know I will probably put back weight once I stop, therefore I ain't reli loss weight-oriented anyway! That way, u would feel less stressed. N it is reli good for ur health anyway, it cleanse ur waste. I decided to try this diet till the 7th day, let it clean up all the waste in my body, make it a good start of my another diet! :D
My sister did the lemon detox diet for 30 days, combinded with a 30min walk and looked like she lost a good 10 kg, and dropped a dress size. It is about a year after she has done the lemon detox and she has put on at least 25kgs. So make sure you stick to a strict diet after the detox
try chewing some gum with the detox might give you the solid feel
how may glasses a day of the lemon detox drink? and for how long? I ll try it this coming week I need to loose weight soon
