You And The Master Cleanse
The master cleanse diet (a.k.a. lemonade diet and the maple syrup diet) is very popular nowadays. Its fame could be due to how the media has been portraying it as the diet for the stars.
The master cleanse diet has been known to make people lose as much as 20 pounds in a ten day diet period.
But the originator of the master cleanse diet hoped for it to be a cleansing diet because of how it is reportedly good a cleansing the body of unwanted toxins. However, this has also made people lose weight in the process. For this reason, the master cleanse has also earned its distinction of being a reducing diet.
The premise behind the master cleanse diet is quite simple: a dieter will have to go on for 10 days subsisting only on lemonade.
The lemonade will be a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Because the lemonade will have all the nutritional and caloric requirements that your body needs to survive, you will not feel any hunger pangs.
But hunger pangs will sometimes occur throughout the duration of your diet. When this happens all you need to do is to take a little sip of your lemonade. The lemonade will act as an appetite suppressant so that you will feel full by just drinking it.
You can even bring the lemonade with you anywhere you go so that you can have a sip of it when you need to.
It is natural for the dieter to feel lightheaded, faint and sick during the first few days.
This is not something that suggests that you are experiencing something bad with the diet. Rather it signals that the cleanse is occurring since the reason why you are feeling sick is because the toxins have already gone to your blood stream to be removed. Just continue with your diet and things will improve as you progress.
The estimated weight loss is 2 pounds for every single day so it pays to follow the diet really strictly. If you are overweight and you want to lose more you may also decrease the amount of maple syrup you mix in. You can stick to the basic 10 days but you can also go from 7 to 12 days of dieting.
