Lemonade Diet
The lemonade diet is also known as the Master Cleanser Diet.
This diet was getting more popular when Beyonce Knowles, reigning R and B diva announced to Oprah that she did the lemonade diet. Beyonce did the lemonade diet when she was preparing for the movie Dream Girls. Some people named lemonade diet as Beyonce diet .
The lemonade diet purposes are
• To make a healthier and cleaner blood flow in our body
• To cleanse our kidney
• To cleanse our digestive system
• To wash away and break away the waste and toxins congestion in our body
Note that we do not write any weight loss purpose there because Master Cleanser diet is actually meant to cleanse our body. However weight loss will come naturally during the process since we will emit a lot of toxins from our body.
Most people who did Master Cleanser diet with only losing weight in mind actually ended up overdoing it or stopped after 3 days because they didn't see any effects. However do not be discouraged, as when I did the diet I did experience around 10 pounds decrease after 14 days (back in the unpleasant days).
Please take it in mind that not all people can do this diet. Please consult your doctor and use your common sense before you try this diet. If you have some health problem or have tiring activities then by all means you don't do this diet first.
It's best to do this diet when you don't have much stress,activities and health problems. You should take a rest after you do this diet for 7 - 10 days. And continue this diet after the rest. This way you won't be over cleansing your body.
I wasn't much disciplined in doing this diet as my purpose is more of cleansing my body. Naturally if those kinds of toxins and waste congestion are flushed from our body, we're bound to have lower weight (unless you eat like crazy).
"For those who is underweight, lemonade diet will only make you lose your waste & toxins."
I did this Master Cleanser for 2 weeks; however it is completely okay to continue this until 30 days. Keep in mind that the minimum length is 10 days in order to have significant effect. However as I have said above, use your common sense. Don't overdo this diet and please take a break after 7 - 10 days!
Do not do the Master Cleanser diet if you're pregnant! It could affect your baby in a harmful way.
It is also advised for the girls to do this Master Cleanser diet after your period.
The Master Cleanser diet recipe actually consist of ....err.. lemonade (yeah, right!) and herbal laxative tea.
You should drink lemonade instead of water throughout the day. Regard the lemonade as water replacement, so drink the usual 8 - 10 glasses a day. The herbal tea must be drunk in the morning and before you go to bed.
The Master Cleanser diet recipe detail is here:
• 2 tablespoons of grade B Maple Syrup.
2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon.
• A glass of pure water.
• Add cayenne pepper according to your test.
Beware that there is barely 4 tablespoon of lemon juice in the average lemon.
The cayenne pepper is important as it adds a lot of vitamin B and C.
You can do a little improvisation by adding mint tea for a twist of taste and/or lemon skin. Peel the lemon skin and add a little bit to your drink. (The skin may contain artificial color; make sure you peel the yellow skin surface). Mix all the ingredients in a blender (if you use the lemon skin, otherwise just mix them in a glass).
The Master Cleanser actually involves a salt water flush drink, where you should drink a mixture of 2 oz of warm spring water with 2 tablespoon of sea salt. It is said that the salt water flush will urge the toxic to get out from your body, however Phil Foundation reckon that you should not consume the Salt water flush.
Hunger will be your main enemy for the first few days. For the first two days, you should not eat anything yet as your body is not prepared for it.
Just by sticking with the Master Cleanser diet, I feel more energy actually in the third day.
If hunger is unbearable, then your choice of consumption should be fresh fruits: banana, watermelon and melon and more fresh water.
Don't eat more as it can harms your digestive system in this stage.
After finishing the diet, it is advised that you don't eat your normal portion yet. Start small and gradually increase until 80% of your previous portion. Make sure you consume fresh orange juice regularly after the fasting.
Remember to focus to the cleansing of your body instead of weight loss, and weight loss will come naturally.
