I am trying to lose a few pounds and I was told to heat up some water add some hot sauce and lemon and drink up.
OH MY! don't try it, it burns!!! Maybe I added way too much hotsauce, but im pretty sure it caught my throat on fire.
It is suppose to help the kidneys flush out toxins.
After I drank the fire elixir I was told just warm water and lemon or lime juice would work well too.
gee thanks for that tip after I drank the fire water!

Lol! Whoever told you that doesn't know the real recipie. There is a cleanse recipie that is cayene pepper, warm water, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Even if it wasn't boiling it is really hard to get down. You are only supposed to do it for like two or three days in a row and drink tons of water. I remember when this fad turned into a weightloss thing. Weightloss can be a side effect, but it is supposed to be a cleanse for your kidneys or something. You have to drink A LOT of water when you are doing this.

Lol, yeah. I'm not sure it really works or not. I tried it years ago and it was awful. I've done several cleanses, and I prefer to use things I know work, rather than going with the general consensus of what is hot. Usually that kind of stuff is really bad for you. That particular mix is supposed to make your body ph more alkaline. Which makes you lose weight.
If you really want to get some stuff that really works let me know. Send me a friend request and I'll send you a private message with some links to stuff that I love and swear by.

Isn't water supposed to flush out toxins on its own? Unless the goal was to burn them out,,then maybe hot sauce is your best bet.

I have seen so many detox waters, shakes and what not. I do drink lemon in my water and it helps me. I also drink grapefruit juice and that helps as well. I tried a detox drink that had apple cider vinegar, honey and a bunch of herbs it was horrible and only made my stomach turn. Now I didn't eat anything the rest of the day and I am sure I would have lost a lot of weight had I done it everyday and never ate again.

Never heard of that one.. ever !!! An easy way is to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day and walk 1-2 hours. Good luck with losing the weight.

Let's just hope your fire elixir didn't damage your throat. hehe.. I think we have all tried to do things without thinking in the call of extreme dieting. We all know it's dangerous but we still desperately would like to try.
Maybe next time you should be more specific with the portions and not use yourself as guinea pig.
Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Who told you to drink that? That sounds disgusting besides being very hot. That could have been so dangerous for you too. I drink water with lemon juice and I drink it at least three times aday. It has helped me to maintain my weight. The best thing about this is that its natural with no junk inside, its delicious and it is thirst quenching. 
It sounds nasty and horrible, good thing it didn't do much damage to you.
