What Is The Master Cleanse Diet?
The master cleanse diet is more popularly known as the lemonade diet and was developed by the late naturopath Stanley Burrows. It is one of the many popular detox diets available.
Supporters of detox diets like the master cleanse state that our bodies are repeatedly bombarded with toxins from eating poor diets, food additives, caffeine and alcohol, plus stresses from the environment like pollution, air conditioning and cigarette smoke.
These toxins build up in our body causing fatigue, weight gain, headaches, bloating, dull skin, cellulite, lowered immunity and general aches and pains. Detoxing with the master cleanse diet helps you remove these toxins from your body and regain your health and lose weight.
The master cleanse diet is not a system that you have to go out and buy. It is something you can mix up at home, from a few ingredients easily found in your local grocery store.
Many celebrities rave about this system including Beyonce Knowles who used this master cleanse diet to help her lose twenty pounds.
You will not feel hungry, as the master cleanse diet contains a balance of vitamins and mineral and lemonade is an appetite suppressant. However this diet does require total abstinence from solid foods in order to lose weight, but the weight loss is fast. You are required to drink a mixture of fresh lemon juice, water, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Additionally you drink laxative tea and perform a salt water flush, to help purge your stomach and bowels.
The master cleanse diet book also claims that this diet cures a variety of aliments, even ulcers, though there is not actually any scientific backing for this.
Although an excellent way to cleanse your system and to lose weight fast, you must remember that the minimum recommended time to spend on this lemonade diet is ten days.
