What up with the lemonade diet drink?

The master cleanse drink consists of fresh lemon juice, purified water, organic maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Sounds weird, I know, but it is very effective at cleaning out the internal organs of the waste and toxins that build up over a lifetime. The lemonade diet drink, as it is also known, is taken throughout the day while on the diet.

The master cleanse (as the lemonade diet was originally known) is basically a juice fast. For a period of 7-10 days normally--though it can be more--you drink 60-80 oz of a special lemon juice drink throughout the day. In the morning, when you first wake up, you drink a mixture of lukewarm water and sea salt to begin the internal flushing process. At night, you drink a cup of herbal laxative tea to help encourage the expulsion of the toxins that have collected in your body. Master cleanse experts recommend you stay near a bathroom for around an hour after drinking the salt water and the tea... if you know what I mean!

The lemonade diet drink has many benefits. Consuming the master cleanse drink is a quick way to eliminate waste and toxins. As a result, people report increased energy, feelings of physical lightness, improved mental clarity, better sexual drive and performance, and more. Some people also report that due to the decrease of poisonous toxins clogging up their bodies, they have rid themselves (or experienced diminished) acne, athletes foot, excema, arthritis, and more. These conditions, while they may not be totally caused by toxins, are definitely exacerbated by improper expulsion of toxic waste. And, oh yeah, you can also lose a lot of weight relatively quickly.

As with any "quick weight loss" type of diet (although I stress again, that is not the purpose of this diet), there can be dangers. Rapid weight loss is generally not a good idea, although there may be times when it is warranted. Please consult your physician. This diet does not contain any fiber--hence the laxatives. It also does not contain any protein. It won't kill you to go without protein for 10 days, but you may feel a little weak at times.

The first three days on the lemonade diet drink are going to be the hardest. You will be hungry, you may feel sick and cranky. If you can just commit to yourself that you will see it through, you will be able to do it. Don't cheat, and don't give up. You owe this to yourself. Remind yourself of the many benefits you are going to see and that will help you with your motivation. You are basically "rebooting" your body; you're starting fresh. Give the master cleanse drink a chance to see what it can do. You will not be sorry!
