Well after doing some research there is stuff in that certain type of maple syrup I had to use that wouldn't help me starve myself and some goes for the lemon juice too. The cyanne pepper is just a natural fat burner and is also, kind of a food too if you think about it. I'm glad I've lost 5 pounds though. Even though it's 5 pounds, I feel great. I'm going to keep working out and eating better. I cut out pop from my life. I only drink water or juice now. Not even Gatorade or Powerade.
