The Master Cleanse Diet also known as the Lemonade Cleansing Diet is really not a diet. It is really a cleansing fast that is nearly 50 years old and has been tried by millions to rid their body of toxins and improve overall wellness.
It gained a large new following when it was observed that Beyonce Knowles had used the cleanse to lose a whopping 20 pounds for her starring role in the motion picture, Dream Girls. Since that time, it has become extremely popular as a legitimate way to lose weight.
The cleanse is really a tonic which is made up of four simple ingredients: lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and water. The lemon juice is supposed to detox your body, the cayenne pepper is supposed to speed up your metabolism, while the maple syrup is for vigor. You will consume this beverage throughout the day (usually 6 to 12 glasses a day) but will not have any other food or drink. The lowest number of days recommended for this fast is 10 while the upper limit is 45.
