Hi,

    I am newly join in this site.I hate to tell you, but you lost 18 pounds of muscle tissue, not fat. By denying your body of adequate carb and protein levels, it switched quickly to starvation mode, burning the protein resident in your muscle fibre as fuel, retaining as much fat as it possibly could in case the absence of adequate nutrients continued.

Don't over-react emotionally to the Lemonade Diet.

The Lemonade Diet Cleanse Recipe

This is not a diet, it's a cleanse.  They are not the same.  If we eat only real like fruits and vegetables with lots of leafy greens and cruciferous veggies, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, small amounts of real meats and whole (NOT low-fat) dairy like hard cheeses, lots of oily fish, and very small amounts of whole grains like oats, brown rice, or quinoa we won't need to diet or cleanse.

It's the standard American diet (SAD) with refined wheat and sugars, artificial sugars and chemical additives, high fructose corn syrup, etc. that's doing us all in.  We're missing the fat-soluble nutrients and trace minerals necessary for health.  When we are nutrient-replete, we not only enjoy optimum health, but don't have to worry about cravings, dieting, or cleansing.
