Using the lemonade diet for weight loss is a popular trend these days. Even though the lemonade diet is not technically a weight loss diet (it’s a cleanse that promotes whole body health) it is a fantastic way to drop a quick couple pounds.
The question I often get asked then is, “how much weight will I lose?”
Assuming you stay on the lemonade diet for 10 days, which is what most people do, you can expect to lose anywhere from 5-15 pounds. Some people will lose a little more but that’s the average.
Keep in mind that this is not all fat. During the lemonade diet you’ll be passing a lot of internal waste. You’ll also lose some water weight if you started the cleanse a little bloated. One tip for losing even more weight is to follow a healthy diet after the lemonade diet because you’re body will be used to a reduce calorie diet so it won’t be so hard to transition into a healthy low calorie diet.

How is the cleanse going for you? I just started today. This is my second time doing the cleanse.
I am on day 25 and an down 21 pounds. Listen to Vanessa–she is correct all the way around. This is the 4th time I have done MC and each time I have had different side effects but have always been successful. The 1st and 2nd time was for 21 days each. The 3rd time was for 12 days and this time I am doing 30 days then taking 7-10 days off and then going back on for 2 15 days periods. The cayenne can be adjusted according to taste and the syrup can be adjusted up or down depending on if you want to lose or gain. This time I am going to try to adapt more of a pescetarian lifestyle when done to help maintain a healthier lifestyle. Stick with it everyone, it gets easier and Good luck!!
Vanessa,
Just read your comments from 8/17. I discovered an organic bottled lemon juice made by “Santa Cruz” that is not from concentrate and has no added sugar. I can’t imagine why this product would be a problem, and what a timesaver it will be!! Any thoughts on it? I plan to start the “ease in” portion of the cleanse tomorrow 8/30. Wish me strength!
OMG, I’M STARVING!!!!!!
3RD DAY AND IAM ABOUT TO GIVE UP.
Can you eat as normal while on this Diet? You know breakfast, lunch , Dinner…
Thanks…
This is my 5th day on the diet and im straving, i had a yogurt will that mess up my deit? i havent lost anything yet and its been 5 days!!!
Understand that weight loss is a bi-product of the Master Cleanse and should not be the goal. You should be focusing on the detox benefits. If for some reason, because of your metabolism, physical condition, or BMI, you lose little to no weight, you will still benefit greatly from the cleanse when done properly.
Does anyone know where I can purchase grade B maple syrup? I live in S.CA and cant find it anywhere. Is using grade A that bad??
Could you not find it at Whole Foods?
That’s where I found it. It’s very expensive! But then again, I’m not going out to eat or buying food. Im not sure if grade A is bad or not??
I have done the Master Cleanse successfully. I did it for 14 days without easing in. I lost 22 lbs. I used Grade A Maple Syrup and it worked just fine. Be sure to use Un-iodized Sea Salt and don’t forget your nightly cup of Dieter’s Tea with SENNA…. and of course, most importantly don’t forget to do the salt water flush every morning…
I start again in the morning.
Dieter’s Tea (containing Senna)
The first time i tried this diet I only lasted 4days and lost 7lbs. Of course I went back to my old ways and gained it back in 2 weeks. But my mom did it for the 10 days and lost 12lbs. She now uses the lemonade and a supplement with her meals. She drinks it for breakfast and sometimes lunch, then eats dinner. Shes kept the weight off with no execise. Im on day 2 and have lost 2lbs and im about to start a workout routine so hopefully with this diet it will help me change my lifestyle after so I can keep the weight off this time!!
So I’m bulimic and I’m trying so hard to get past it and start over. I know this sounds like a crazy question to some but what do you do when you get that urge to eat .. Where do you how do you contain yourself?
if im overweight can i lose 20lbs in about 10 days
im 5′4 and a half and weigh 140lbs if i weigh 120lbs will i look skinny
