I'm
not sure why, but there's been a growing interest in The Lemonade Diet
lately. Maybe people are curious, or maybe they've heard how well it actually
works, so let's take a closer look at this so-called "diet."
First,
this is not technically a diet in the traditional sense of the word. The
Lemonade Diet is more of a juice fast or a body cleanse or detox since
you're living on lemonade for the entire time. You're not eating food of any kind
-- not even soup.
The
Lemonade Diet is also known as The
Master Cleanser. It was originally created by the now deceased
naturopath Stanley Burroughs. The diet was created to help rid your body of toxins
that build up when you don't exercise or eat right. It's designed to help clear
and clean your body's digestive tract, kidneys, and liver, while carrying out
all the bad stuff that's settled in over time.
Some
say this diet works so well that most people can lose up to two pounds of fat
each day without any harmful side effects. In fact, one of the reasons it might
be gaining in popularity is because of the success a few celebrities have had
with it.
You
can drink as much water or unsweetened herbal tea as you'd like throughout the
day on top of your lemonade. According to Burroughs, the lemon juice and maple
syrup have all the nutrients your body needs for this temporary fasting period,
and the cayenne pepper will help boost your metabolism so the fat is burned faster.
Most
people try this cleanse for three to ten days.
Warning:
Like most low-calorie detox programs, the weight will come off like crazy, but
it'll also go right back on again if you resume your pre-Lemonade Diet
eating habits.
If
you decide to try The Lemonade Diet, it's important to follow the
steps as they're laid out in the book, and it's very
important to come off the diet properly. When you go for extended periods of time
without solid food, you have to slowly introduce solid foods back into your system.
Usually
you start with soups and other liquids first, like freshly made juices and smoothies,
then gradually move back into normal eating from there. Trying to eat "normally"
after having been on the fast for a while will make you very sick.

Master Cleanser / Lemonade Diet is right for you, click the "Buy
