There's nothing magical about the maple/cayenne/lemon combination. You lose weight because if your body's not getting calories from meals, it uses the energy reserve called glycogen which is stored around the muscles. Every gram of glycogen is stored with 4 grams of water, which also drops off. This is why the first few pounds drop off really quickly, on this or any other very-low-calorie diet, then evens out. But not much of that initial weight loss is fat. Weight does NOT always = fat, unfortunately.
