The Master Cleanse. Beyonce swears by it.

Beyonce swears by it: This program works for weight loss and Cleansing

by Foras Aje

master-cleanse-diet.JPGIt is gaining popularity in leaps and bounds and although I heard about this program way back in 2000, I never would have foreseen that it would one day be something that almost anyone in holistic and alternative living would know off AND actually use.

It’s known as the Master Cleanser (aka Lemonade diet) and even R&B singer; Beyonce, is in on the program as she reportedly used the Lemonade fasting recipe to shed weight while filming the movie: Dreamgirls.

Nonetheless, I am of the firm belief that the author or maker of this recipe-the late Dr. Stanley Burroughs-never had any intentions of having this program being seen as a shortcut to a rapid weight loss. Quite the contrary, even though you will inevitably lose the pounds, the goal here is more for cleansing and detoxification, rather than just losing weight quickly or rapidly.

The Master Cleanse Reciepe

So without further ado, I share the Master Cleanse recipe with you so you too can try it out for yourself:

* 2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)

* 2 Tbsp genuine maple syrup (not maple flavored sugar syrup)

* 1/10 Tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste

* Water, medium hot (spring or purified water)

Combine the juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper in a 10 oz. glass and fill with medium hot water. (Cold water may be used if preferred.) Use fresh lemons or limes only, never canned lemon or lime juice nor frozen lemonade or frozen juice. Use organic lemons when possible.

The author suggests that you drink a laxative tea both morning and night or use the salt water wash that he recommends in his program in the morning with the tea at night.

From my experience, the best tea to use will be the “Smooth Move Tea” and for the salt water wash, here are the guidelines:

Prepare a full quart of lukewarm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of uniodized sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work property.

Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach.

The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour.

Going off the Diet

Now, coming of the fast is also an important phase that should be approached with caution, I laughed out when I read that though Beyonce may have used this program, she reportedly went on a binge feast of junk food to gain her weight back.

Well, I don’t know if that is true, but if it was, that is a No, No!

That can be very dangerous and I am quite sure that even if she did, she would have been wise enough to have at least observe the steps provided in the program on how to prepare the body for solid food to avoid any hassles.

The steps are to drink fresh squeezed orange juice for a day or two after the master cleansing period and on the third morning, have some orange juice in the morning, a mono-meal of fruit in the afternoon and a salad (or preferably more fruit) in the evening.

Then on the fourth day, it is advised that a mucus-less or mucus poor diet (which consists of raw and/or properly cooked fruits, roots, leaves and occasional-less harmful whole grains, nuts and seeds…if desired) be adhered to for maintenance.

Also ensure that you:

1. Get as Much Fresh Air as possible.

2. Get as Much Rest as Possible

3. DON’T use microwaves…at all.

4. Avoid negative mass media and suggestions.

5. Don’t overexert yourself, at least not till you feel up to physical activities

6. Don’t break a fast with just any food…fruits are your best bet.

Well, Beyonce swore by it, Robin Quivers, Howard Stern’s long-suffering sidekick says it made her drop from 218 lbs to a svelte 145 pound-figure and I have tried it to success, so it does work.

i went on the lemondade diet about 2months ago for 14 days and lost 14 pounds. I felt wonderful. I felt so clean. how do you maintain the feeling as well as the weight loss. I have put back on the 14 pounds since which brings me to my original weight. thanks for your help.

Hi Shelly,

If your regular diet is not very healthy it is easy to put on the pounds — no matter how you lost them. Long-term dieting success requires a lifestyle change. Eat healthy, fresh foods, especially fruits and veggies and you will feel better and keep your weight down.

How often a day are you suppose to drink the mixure?

I have tried this cleanse and I know it works. I’d advise you to try it. What could you lose but weight.
