The Lemonade Diet

Lemonade Diet has become a popular name for the Master Cleanse diet due to its use of lemonade to help cleanse the body. We hear so much about eliminating toxins from our bodies right now. The lemonade diet was created for that very purpose. The . The average time on the cleanse is 10 days. If this is all new to you I will give you an overview of what to do here.

First if you are going to go on the lemonade diet you need to understand that it is a fasting diet which means no solid food. So be sure to check with your doctor before jumping in. Make sure what medicine you need to stay on and which medicine you can leave off safely during the fast.

Be advised that fasting is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people have a difficult time going without solid food for several days. With that out of the way here are the steps to the lemonade diet.

Daily nutrients are supplied from a lemonade mix made from 60 oz of non-flouridated water for the duration of the fast. Add in 12 Tbsp of fresh squeezed organic lemon juice, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper (alternatively capsules can be used) and 12 Tbsp of Organic Grabe B Maple Syrup.

First thing in the morning though you start off with a saltwater mixture to flush out your system. Then mix the ingredients for your drink regimen into the 60 ounces of water and consume 6 - 10 ounces glasses during the day. Some people even say to increase the amounts to do 11 to 12 glasses a day to get the calories up to 1200 calories for the day. It is also recommended to drink water in between the glasses of lemonade to help rinse the acid from the lemonade.

Many people have reported favorable results from using the lemonade diet to cleanse their bodies. They have seen improvements in their blood sugar levels and even seen their depression improve. They have also seen a marked improvement in their blood pressure. It flushes out toxins that build up in the body, which helps purify the body. It is a most effective way to thoroughly clean out the digestive track and flush the kidneys out. It is even good for the blood stream.

After you have stayed on this for 10 days (or how many days you last on it). Go off of it. But to go off of it you need to do just citrus juices the first day and then you can introduce maybe some vegetable soup the next day. After that you can go back to eating regularly.

Stanley Burroughs created this diet in 1940. He wrote The Master Cleanse about the diet and it is still being read today. People have known for a long time about the need to detox the body.

It is recommended that you wait about 3 months between the 10-day sessions of the Master Cleanse program. That will allow you to do this about 4 times a year.
