She loaned me her copy of the book (which costs like five bucks, and you can order it online. Its stapled.)From what I understand, molassis and maple syrup are slightly different things -- but I don't know how. I'm going to ask next time I'm at the health food store -- they seem to know that sort of thing.Anyway, the fast is about cleansing the body of toxins, not so much about weight loss. Weight is just the easiest metric. But it is secondary. What the fast (lemon juice and cayenne pepper) due is to assist the body in the removal of built up toxins. Throw in a nice herbal laxative tea, and the toxins actually get pushed out. My experiences have been really positive -- the only negative part is that occasionally I'll wake up at 5 AM needing to ... have a movement. Happened this morning, my insides were slightly upset and I had to get to the toilet. I think I steeped the tea for to long -- I let it steep for 20 minutes instead of 15, so that the water would get cooler. Usually its much more ... gentle.The first time I did thins I lost something like 20 pounds in ten days, if I recall correctly. And felt fantastic. As your pallet and even your body have been cleansed of the foods you normally eat with this fast, when you go back to solid foods you can cognitively decide whether or not you like them. Its really a very neat feeling, as you taste it and even if it tastes good, you can make the consciounce decision not to like it -- which for me is based largely on how it makes me feel. For a month or more after I fasted, I didn't eat beef. And only went back because it was extremely expedient, and even so ate much smaller portions. For example, at Braum's I'll now order a sixth pound burger instead of a third pounder. And I'll be full afterwards.I'm glad to answer any more questions.</blockquote>
