Losing 20 pounds in 10 days is dangerous, as are most cleanses. Lose weight by eating well and getting regular exercise. In the long run, you'll be much, MUCH better off establishing healthy routines for life, rather than trying something potentially dangerous to lose weight fast.
It you want to cleanse your body, exercise and drink lots of water. And take it easy on your liver and kidneys. I know people who do periodic "cleanses" but drink like college students every weekend. Save yourself some time and money and learn to embrace moderation.
FI did a fruit cleanse-- nothing but fruit and fruit juice for 7 days. He made it to Day 4 before he was in so much pain that he had to stop. And that was fruit. I can't imagine what cayenne pepper would do to you.
I've never heard of this one, but it sounds rather excessive and dangerous. I have done a couple cleanses/detoxes though, when I was much younger and quite unhealthy. Both of them made the world of difference! However, both were also done under the guidance of a naturopathic doctor.
ETA: I didn't do the cleanses to lose weight, as I was 100lbs at the time. I did them because my body was chock full of things that were causing me to not be able to function at the physical level of a healthy teenager.
You could do it, be miserable, and put it all back on again because you haven't taught yourself how to maintain your weight loss. OR you could start counting your calories and exercising more and have results that will last because you have educated yourself on healthy choices, gotten used to healthy eating, and have generally changed your life for the better. Up to you, but I decided to do it the second way and I have no regrets.
There are heaps of websites that offer calorie counters, go and find one that you like and works for you. Be honest about what you're eating. Start yourself on a healthy lifestyle path.
That kinda of weight loss, unless you are seriously obese and under a doctor's supervision is very dangerous. Eat clean, do cardio and lift heavy and aim to lose about 2lbs a week. Also, getting thinner does not always equal weight loss.
Re: Cayenne Pepper Cleanse! Anyone try this?
