Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet
The Master Cleanse was developed by Stanley Burroughs, a pioneer in the healing industry. His Master Cleanse Diet is a 10-14 day program, however, you may continue longer if your body needs more cleansing.
Use proper discernment and consult your physician if necessary.You must use your own judgment as everyone reacts differently.
This cleanse was popularized as the Beyonce diet, rumored that she used this lemon cayenne pepper detox drink to slim down for the red carpet.
2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 Tbsp genuine maple syrup (not maple flavored fake stuff)
1/10 Tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Water - warm or room temp. (spring or purified)
Combine all ingredients in a 10oz glass. Drink 6-12 glasses every day while cleansing.
Only use fresh organic (ideally, if possible) lemons or limes. NOT canned lemon or lime juice nor frozen juice or lemonade.
A high quality maple syrup is a must! I recommend, The Maple River Valley in Westby, Wisconsin; they make the best Organic B Grade maple syrup.
The grade has to do with when it is harvested. A Grade is Light Amber there's A Medium Light Amber, mild in taste sweet and have less mineral content.
Grade A Dark Amber (formerly known as B Grade) has more minerals ore of a "maple" taste and is tapped at the end of the season.
Grade B (formerly known as C grade) has even more minerals and is the strongest maple syrup.
Pure maple syrup contains: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Silicon, Iron, Copper, Vitamin A, C, B1, B2, B6 and Pantothenic Acid (B5)
DO NOT EAT ANY OTHER FOODS WHILE ON THE MASTER CLEANSE.
The master cleanse diet is completely balanced with vitamins and minerals. Providing you are using the proper maple syrup as described above.
The lemon cayenne pepper detox drink is a source of natural vitamins and minerals.
Do not take additional vitamins or supplements, give your liver a break.
If you are overweight you may use less maple syrup than suggested.
If you are underweight use more maple syrup than suggested.
Use your judgment depending on how your body feels.... Drink mixture whenever of if you feel hungry.
NEVER vary the amount of lemon juice per glass.
Drink plenty of water.
Elimination is the key to health, vitality and anti-aging. Therefore, a salt water flush is a necessary internal cleansing aid while on the master cleanse diet.
It is essential that you have at least three bowel movements per day. The salt water and laxative tea will help release excess mucus and toxins.
In addition to the salt water flush, take a laxative herbal tea first thing morning and last thing in the evening.
Remember this is a cleansing diet, assist nature whenever possible.
If you feel nauseous it may be because you are not eliminating properly. Make sure you have two or three movements per day.
You may be asking... Why do I need to have 2-3 bowel movements a day? It may seem unnecessary not eating solid food but you have accumulated waste, from years past even.
As you are cleansing cells, tissues and various organs will release toxins that need to be flushed.
One of the major elimination systems is our skin. Therefore, you might want to refer to some of the
skin detox
advice.
Dry skin brushing is important for helping the skin detox and eliminate toxins.
Use one or more of the cleansing suggestions as you choose. As your body releases toxins rashes are very likely to occur.
Have patience, your skin and body is simply detoxifying.
Monitor and increase your water intake to flush out the toxic release from adipose tissue; because as you shed pounds toxins that were stored in fat cells are released into your blood stream.
Coming Off The Master Cleanse
Coming off the master cleanse lemonade diet is vitally important.
Finish your last days on the lemon cayenne pepper detox drink and follow these directions for at least three days after a 10-14 day fast.
If you are fasting longer please extend the following protocol accordingly. For example if you were on the master cleanse 20 days it would take you six days to come off.
FIRST TWO DAYS AFTER DIET:
- Drink several 8 ounce glasses of freshly squeezed organic orange juice each day.
- Drink the orange juice slowly, it prepares the digestive system to properly digest and assimilate food once you start eating solids again.
- Drink extra water if you are experiencing any problems, it's good to dilute the orange juice as well if necessary.
DAY THREE:
- Drink orange juice in the morning.
- Eat raw fresh organic fruit for lunch
- For dinner eat fruit again or a raw vegetable salad.
You may now eat normally, by the fourth day.
After completing the master cleanse aka Beyonce diet you may want to adapt a diet in fresh vegetables and fruit, eating less meat and gradually cutting out processed foods especially white refined sugar and flour.
Eat whole grains, gluten free grains are best as many people are allergic to wheat. Often not knowing their gluten sensitivity they suffering from chronic fatigue, headaches and other serious health issues.
Detoxing on the master cleanse lemonade diet is safely done once or twice a year. Many people cleanse seasonally. Choosing to do a
colon cleanse
, parasite cleanse or a,
liver cleanse (gall bladder flush).
