Health fads come and go but the master cleanse or lemonade diet as it’s also called isn’t a fad. In fact, it’s been around for more than 5 decades quietly providing relief to anyone who’s willing to give up a few days days of food. Fasting has been around for centuries, but the lemonade diet is not your typical fast. You will be consuming calories, just not from solid food.
The lemonade diet will detoxify and cleanse your body from years of chronic abuse, and it also works to promote good health in the future.
To get the full cleansing effect it’s best to stay on the lemonade diet for 10 days and it’s always best if you repeat 3 to 4 times a year. If 10 days sounds like more then you can handle don’t worry, even 3 days on the diet can give some amazing results.
Some critics say you’re starving yourself on the lemonade diet – they’re wrong. Like I said earlier it’s not like a typical fast where you’re not taking in any calories to fuel your body. The ingredient in the lemon drink provide you with plenty of vitamins, minerals, and calories so you won’t be putting yourself at risk by depriving your body of the vital things it needs to function.
Here’s how it works…
You’ll drink one glass of lemonade made from the ingredients listed below in the morning and then 6 to 12 more throughout the day when you get hungry. In the morning, you’ll also drink a glass of salt water and at night, you’ll have a cup of Senna tea. How do each of these ingredients work?
- Fresh lemon — it is a loosening and cleansing agent, a tonic to the liver, stimulates bile, cleanses the intestine, cures digestive order, aides in the elimination of the bowels, it destroys intestinal worms, eliminates gas. The lemon is high in Vitamin C but it also has A, E, B, Folic Acid, Niacin, and all the necessary minerals.
- Grade B Maple Syrup — protects the heart, boost the immune system. It is an excellent source of manganese and zinc. It’s also your main source of calories.
- Cayenne Pepper — soothes the digestive tract, promotes circulation, relieve gastrointestinal disorders such as cramping. Cayenne is high in Vitamin A, and it also contains Vitamin C, B, K, manganese, and dietary fiber.
- Water — reduces hunger, flushes toxins out of the body. Make sure you use filtered water because tap water is filled with chemicals and other waste that will sabotage your detoxing efforts. This is the water filter I use
- Saltwater — works as a laxative from the top of the plumbing down. It thoroughly cleanses the digestive track and the salt scrubs the intestine walls. It will kick in 30 to 60 minutes after you drink it.
- Senna Tea or Other Laxative Tea — will help the bowels to eliminate.
Combined these ingredients not only cleanse your digestive tract, they will also remove toxins and mucous from your body, cleanse the kidneys, cleanse the glands and the body’s cells, relieve pressure and irritation from the arteries, nerves, and blood vessels, and create healthy blood.
You may experience detox symptoms that will last at least until the majority of toxins are removed. Cravings, tiredness, irritability, hot bowel movements and headache can happen. They will shall pass, so don’t be too alarmed.
Over the years your body has been exposed to all kinds of toxins — pesticides sprayed on your food, chlorine in the drinking water, hormones and antibiotics in the meat, pollution in the air we breathe, chemicals in the soaps and lotions we use, and the list could go on. Our body does it’s best to rid the body of these toxins but over time it simply cannot keep up and without detoxifying these toxins can lead to cancer, heart disease, arthritis, excess weight and even obesity, mental fugue, a weak immune system, and the list goes on.
Detoxifying with the lemonade diet gives your body a new lease on life. You’ll feel younger, and healthier. You’ll be more energized, and you are at less risk of serious illness.

Hi guys, m thinkin of startin this cleanse. I js wanna knw if I cn use the woolworths maple syrup since that's thee only one I cn get here. And for those who have tried it, did u loose weight and manage to keep it off?
and again, we are all biochemically unique... It may work and stay off for most people, but some of us have metabolic issues that need attention. Whether that is thyroid imbalance, toxins, stress... each person is different
Being that I am heavily into holistic moladities (Founder of Holistic Healers Academy), I come across all sorts of ideas that I feel gunho to try so that I can share my experiences with others. I took the lemon cleanse for twenty days, i felt great, never was dizzy... felt full and it was easy to follow. I lost ten pounds. I dd gain it back however. The second time I tried it I did it for 40 days!!! Yes i lost thirty pounds...
but guess what? I gained THAT all back and ten pounds more. I will say I do just about everything correctly...except Iwould have an occasional treat ... as well as red wine on the weekends. I would say its fantastic for losing initial...but you really have to stick to the 80/20 ph balancing rule in order to KEEP the fat off!! plus have healthy fats...omega 3 especially for inflammation.

I'm also part taking in this cleanse .but this time my daughter wants to join me.if anybody who has done this before please give me information if I should let my twelve year old daughter part taken this cleanse with me?.
I am starting the cleanse today. yeah. well I am looking for all advise from those with experience, anything to help me along the way. I did have problems with drinking the salt water? Thats a rough job. I am in this for of course some weight loss but mostly for the spritual aspect of cleansing and purify my body. I do some yoga and I am a vegeratian, so I am hoping that the displine there will help me along the way also. ANY ADVISE
I am on my first day, and I feel lightheaded, not hungry at all. My wife started as well, unfortunately she can not drink the recommended laxative tea at night, she is allergic to any kind of tea. So I came up with a creative idea for that, I told her to take a laxative in a capsule, and drink warm water with lemon. Genuius..LOL But we are both well on our way to loosing the unwanted pounds and removing all those unwanted toxins!!! Wish us luck!!!
Hi
I started with the Lemonade yesterday. My mixture was wrong yesterday and I felt hungry. Today is supposedly my second but I am fine. I didn't know about the salt water, how do I do that. Wish me luck. M really hoping to lose weight as I have been struggling for quite a while now.
Thanks
Pamela
What I'm going to do is a fast for just one day.
I read that you can begin anytime, say....7pm to 7pm.
OR...8am to 8am....whatever.
But do remember NOT to 'run' for the food when you're done with the fast. You don't want to 'shock' the life out of your heart! By doing the fast one day, say...every two weeks, then it will be much easier to handle if I decide to go with a few more added days. Will let you know of the results.
Also I purchased you secret manuals. Good stuff! thanks for sharing. I appreciate all the tips. My daughter and I plan on kicking this diet full throttle. And I think we will ease into it, it makes sense.
You mentioned that you use organice lemon juice; where do you find that at? or can you use frozen lemonade? I've heard people say they've used regular fresh squeeze lemons or lime. What's the best method for the authenticated lemonade diet?
