Not my idea of "fresh" or "healthy!" to say the least. I'm not a vegetarian but I am very veggie friendly so I'd certainly choose a different direction.

I was only able to drink lemonade made from fresh squeezed lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, and that's it. I also had to drink a glass of salt water every morning.

They have a very limited selection of foods for vegetarians so I would end up eating the same 5 foods over and over again. Not to mention, all of their food was frozen. Blah.

It seems you all have done a lot of wacky diets. Of course so have I. One time I did a fasting diet (shakes) where I got dehydrated and wound up in the hospital getting IV fluids. The thing is, we all try to do the "quick fix" diet-wise, when the bottom line is sound healthy meals and exercise. Thanks to all who have shared their "secrets" with us so far. Keep them coming. Jim Wow. It seems you all have done a lot of wacky diets. Of course so have I. One time I did a fasting diet (shakes) where I got dehydrated and wound up in the hospital getting IV fluids.

The thing is, we all try to do the “quick fix” diet-wise, when the bottom line is sound healthy meals and exercise.

Thanks to all who have shared their “secrets” with us so far. Keep them coming.

This is VERY wacky! When you get onto the website they make it sound sooo promising and easy. And I put my information in to see about their "free trial", which required you to enter in your information... and then enter in your credit card information. The fine print stated that they would charge your card after 14 days and it would be a monthly shipment costing over $80. So i closed out the website... which then gave me pop-ups asking me if I was "sure i didn't want to try this diet??" THEN... I got a phone call from some guy who was a rep for them who proceeded to try to get me to try the product. I told him that I didn't have time for the conversation and declined. Before we hung up, he said "HAVE FUN GETTING FAT!" Can you believe he had the nerve???? First of all- this guy has no idea how fat or thin I am? And I was a customer INQUIRING and he had the nerve to say that to me? Since then, I have seen many websites calling that "diet" a scam. Everyone-- please stay away from these websites! Do not enter your info in them! They will HARRASS you! sincerely, Michelle I one time had begun inquiring about the acai berry supplement + cleanse that helped you lose weight. This is VERY wacky!

It worked well for my mother and not so much for me. The whole thing about it was that you were getting toxins out of your body. You started the diet doing just 4 days with their shakes and this stuff called "Ionic Supreme" that tasted horrible!!! And they had these things called snacks that were TINY PELLETS of a sugary chaulky substance (no joke). It was smaller than a quarter!!! After the first 4 days of getting used to the products you then did a 9 day program, which was... 2 day cleanse, following 5 days of shakes and ionic supreme and ending with a 2 day cleanse. People were losing between 10 to 15 pounds in one week. It didn't do much for me and the products were pretty gross (chaukly tasting) and left you with a HORRIBLE taste in your mouth. Not to mention it was all very very very expensive and you had to "become a member" through someone else that was doing it. AND you had to put your credit card information in, which would automatically charge you every 30 days for an entire new shipment of stuff. I hate that!!!

I only ate raw vegetables, fruits for 2 days prior to the cleanse and then only vegetable/fruit juice the day before I started the cleanse. Then i only drank the lemonade, cayenne pepper concoction for 12 days. After the clease I did the fruit/veggie juice again. i lost 10 lbs but have gained them all back the past year. (This is why these silly diets don't work!) I've learned now to have just a healthy lifestyle. xo Jocelyn http://peacelovenutrition.wordpress.com The craziest diet I did was the Master Cleanse- but I also did a pre and post cleanse!

The easiest: bacon and eggs for breakfast/lunch/dinner with pork rinds as a snack for 5 days (I lost 6 pounds and my cholestrol jumped to 289). The one that made me hungriest: diet jello for 4 days to fit into my prom dress (It worked, but I gained 5 pounds the next two days). The worst: The syrup and cayenne pepper diet.
