What’s The Master Cleanse Diet All About
Do you want to know how Beyonce was able to lose 20 pounds just in time to play her role in the movie Dreamgirls? Or how Jared Leto was able to drop the 62 pounds that he had to put on to play a movie role? You will be surprised by how uncomplicated it is. Read: you do not have to hire your own personal chef or trainer.
I am pretty sure that you know something about the master cleanse diet. If you have not tried it, then probably you are intrigued by it. The master cleanse diet is originally a cleansing diet that was designed by alternative medicine practitioner Stanley Burroughs during the 1940s. Although this diet was created to be a detox diet but now it is more popular for its reducing properties.
What this diet is all about is the simple consumption of lemonade during the entire period of 10 days and nothing else but that. So basically this is a liquid diet. The lemonade that I am talking about is a mixture of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The maple syrup you may decrease in quantity if you want but do not remove any of the ingredients when making your lemonade. You may have to get used to the taste of cayenne pepper but never take it out.
Before you go all out on the lemonade, you will have to go through an ease in period first.
The ease-in period is a couple of days directly prior the start of the diet which will be used for your body to get ready for what lies ahead. For this particular diet, you will need to trade in heavy meals with lighter ones consisting mainly of fruits and vegetables to prepare you for the days when you will be taking in nothing but lemonade.
Finally, after the ease in period you can finally start with your diet. The average duration of your diet should be 10 days but this ultimately depends on you. Some have dieted for as little as 7 and as many as 12 days.
The main idea of the diet is that you can drink as much lemonade as you want or need to chase any hunger pangs away.
Finally, you will have to partner your lemonade consumption with laxatives. The role of the laxatives is to allow for proper movement of your bowels. You will not have any fiber in your diet of lemonade so you will have to get it from the laxatives.
You will need to take in laxatives so that your body can excrete wastes that ultimately include the toxins.
