I drank my first cup of herbal tea at midnight and with wonderful surprise-- it tasted great! Might be one of my favorite teas to date. The instructions on the box say to put 1TSP. on your tongue and swallow with water or your favorite juice.
The product is just a loose leaf herb mix so I put it in a loose leaf tea ball and made hot tea with it. Then after thinking maybe I should have just followed the directions on the box, I put another half teaspoon on my tongue and washed it down with some water. We'll mostly likely see if this was a mistake in the morning!
8AM : Laxative herb mix first thing this morning. Then I downed my first glass of lemonade! It took me 1.5 lemons to get the 2TBS. of juice needed.
I really had expected it to be awful, but really, I could drink this anytime. It's almost a strange bastardized version of a holiday drink I would say.
I warmed up the water in a tea kettle so it was a hot drink. The website I'm referring to instructed medium to hot water. I woke up very cold this morning and put on my big fuzzy white robe, but shortly after drinking this- with the heat of the water and the cayenne- I warmed right up!
One warning right off the bat, I think the laxative herb mix definitely gives you really foul smelling gas. God, I hope this passes before class.
9AM : 2nd glass!
Slightly interrupted by trip to the bathroom. I must say, I have taken pill laxatives before and this herbal mix is taking their lunch. No bloating, no cramping, no sense of urgency- simply a normal feeling and a (sort of) normal movement. Nicely done, SWISS KRISS. I think I'll use you even if I'm not on a crazy diet.
Still oh-so happy about the taste. It's like a Lemonhead candy juiced and all dressed up in a fancy cayenne suit that gives sweet maple kisses before he leaves. I like it.
1:25PM : OK, having a bit of cramping from the herbal tea mixture, but nothing severe. Finding it not so difficult to avoid food considering the strict plan is easy to follow. Going to make my next glass of lemonade right now.
7:47 PM : Still holding strong with little to no hunger pangs. Four glasses down, two more to go. I've been staggering water in between all glasses of lemonade to keep some variety and hydration in the mix.
Also, cayenne pepper is spicier going out than it is coming in. It's kind of nice to flush out your system though, I'm enjoying that aspect quite a bit.
10:27 PM : Thinking the first day is the hardest. Now I'm struggling with not having solid food. I just want to munch. Munch on that delicious looking casserole my roommate made, or biscuits, or candy, or popcorn, or a hot dog. ANYTHING. I will not though. Cannot break the first day. First day must be the hardest. Five glasses down, I don't know if I'll make it to six tonight. Going to take my laxative herb mix and go to bed.
10:36 PM : I'm going to drink another glass as said in beginning of experiment. Six glasses. A day. Sixth glass starts now. Then herb mix and bed.
