Lemonade Diet has become a popular name for the Master Cleanse diet due to its use of lemonade to help cleanse the body. These days we keep hearing that we need to eliminate the toxins from our bodies. Well the lemonade diet is just the thing to do that. This diet is only meant to be a short term cleansing diet. 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.

The first thing you need to know is that the lemonade diet is a fasting diet and does not allow 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.

You need to be aware that fasting is not for everyone. Some people have a difficult time going without solid food for several days. This being said here is how to do the lemonade diet.

Daily nutrients are supplied from a lemonade mix made from 60 oz of non-fluoridated 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 Grade 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.

The nutritionist Stanley Burroughs came up with his diet back in 1940. He wrote The Master Cleanse about the diet and it is still being read today. Even back then people realized the importance of detoxing their bodies.

It is advised to follow the 10 day session of the Master Cleanse program every 3 months. That means you would do the cleanse up to 4 times a year.
