Answers:
It is just starvation, thats all - you end up only having about 400 calories a day, theres nothing special about the ingrediants, they are just there as a type of fuel to stop it getting REALLY bad. Maple syrup is high GI (sugar/quick energy) which stops you feeling low/brain dead, lemon is vitamin C to maintain digestion and the pepper is pointless.
Water is so important, normally carbohydrates can ensure you are moderatley hydrated, you still need water, but when you are starving, water is even more important.
There are no specific foods that make you loose weight - its just bulls*** - it is quite simply starvation for idiots. Sure you will loose weight, but when you eat again the weight comes back. That is how adaption works...
I don't think so... I know a few people who have tried it and had suffered from a reeeallyy bad stomach ache..
You can try exercising everyday though, and balancing your diet :) Don't try the lemon diet! I hope my answer helped :)
