The Lemonade Diet – Master Cleanse
By Robert | May 16, 2008
The Lemonade Diet is sometimes called the Master Cleanse Diet. It was created by Stanley Burroughs who was keen to use the bodies natural healing abilities. The diet itself is based on drinking and not eating. The idea is that the lemonade mix flushes all toxins out of the body.
The diet itself is not meant for long term use, indeed the recommended time is for three to ten days. Like all diets, it is recommended that you seek medical advice.
The aim of this diet, is not for weight loss (although this does happen), but for cleansing the body of toxins, stopping cravings, and generally giving the body a chance to recharge itself. It is basically a fasting diet which means not eating foods. Although containing nutrients, the lemonade mix is meant to dissolve toxins, cleanse the kidneys and digestive system, and generally flush the body out. It should also improve the blood stream,improve the muscles and joints, and help skin to improve its elasticity and general well being.
The drink itself is made up of pure filtered water with organic lemons, sea salt, organic cayenne pepper, and grade B organic maple syrup. Optional extras are laxative tea and decaffeinated natural herbal tea. Indeed drinking water as well as herbal tea will help with variety as they come in all sorts of flavours and tastes. The key is that everything has to be pure, natural and organic.
The idea is to plan for the time on the diet as it does need will power. There is no eating on this diet at all. The expectation is for your body to supply all your needs from it store of fat for the duration of the diet. With the body being able to lose all the toxins that have built up, it will be to run itself more eficiently and break any cycles of food cravings too.
When the diet period is over, you will need first to increase your drinks to include fresh orange juice etc., and slowly return to foods, although dairy products like milk should not be first on the list. As a result of the diet, your body should feel healthier and it will also have lost weight and is expected to do that for a period of time afterwards too.
