The Lemonade Diet (Aka the Master Cleanse Diet) Revealed

<h1>The Lemonade Diet (Aka the Master Cleanse Diet) Revealed</h1>Author: <a title="Mia Lecron" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mia-lecron/10054.htm">Mia Lecron</a> The lemonade diet, otherwise known as the Master Cleanse diet, is a popular and easy method to lose weight quickly. The diet is simple and easy to follow. It is a diet that cleanses your system and should be followed for at least ten days but no more than forty days. It is supposed to be a short term diet that flushes out your system to help clean out toxins and boost weight loss. The lemonade diet has three simple parts to it. In the morning when you wake up, begin by drinking a salt-water mix. During the day, you drink the special lemonade recipe listed below. In the evenings, you drink a laxative tea. Aside from these special drink mixes, the only other thing participants may drink is pure water or mint tea. The lemonade diet takes a lot of control and restraint. Having a support group will greatly increase your chances of success. It is recommended that you begin by trying to stick with the diet for ten days. If you have success with that, try boosting the diet up a few days the next time around. This diet is not something you should do all of the time. It is recommended to follow a regular diet for three to six months in between cleanses. The longer you are on the lemonade diet, the more time you should take in between cleanses. The Special Lemonade Mix Recipe: 2 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice (organic lemons are recommended) 1/10 Tablespoon cayenne pepper 2 Tablespoons of pure maple syrup (no sugar added) Combine these three ingredients in a ten ounce cup and fill to the top with water. It is very important to try to drink six to twelve glasses of this a day in order to reach your daily calorie intake. There are 100 calories in two tablespoons of pure maple syrup and 8 calories in the lemon juice. By drinking 11 to 12 glasses, this ensures you reach your daily recommended caloric intake or 1200 calories. Drink pure water as well whenever possible to prevent dehydration. Possible side effects of the lemonade diet may include headaches, nausea and fatigue. This is normal, and is often termed "the healing crisis" as your body is removing long standing toxins from the system. Learning to sustain yourself on a liquid diet will be very difficult at first. Hunger pains are common. A detox is a huge change in eating behavior. It is recommended that you ask physician about the diet before beginning. Dieters on medication or with high blood pressure, hypoglycemia, diabetes, or depression should definitely consult a physician first.
