Lemonade Detox
other names: master cleanse, lemonade diet, maple syrup diet
What is this detox?
The idea of this detox is to perform a colon cleanse. Yep you heard me. It's a drink that's going to flush the shit outta you...but in a good way. Your colon is about 6 ft long and it can absorb a lot of gunk while your poo is on its way out. You know how a car needs an oil change? We sometimes need something like that too. By cleansing out your system it "restarts" your body thus reboosts your metabolism. Most people tend to lose weight after the detox is over and it can help clear your skin a little too because it helps take care of constipation. Please note that this is NOT intended for weight loss as it is not a diet. But I know most you only care about the weight loss part so if you like starving yourself, go ahead. I ain't gonna stop ya. It also doesn't taste too bad, that is if you like lemonade. I lurve lemonade. It just tastes like a watered down lemonade with a hint of spice. Not the best but I can take it.
Sounds to good to be true?
It isn't! BUT...it's hard to do. You have to have a lot of control because you're going to have to drink basically nothing but water for 10-14 days straight. It takes about that long to flush out all the toxins. You also can't eat anything solid while doing this detox, must stick to water. If you're going to try this out, do it at your own risk! I am not responsible for your upset stomach or leaky bladder! I have never done this because my head hurts too much without food. Let me know how it goes though if you're going to try it, or if you failed haha.

No thanks ...
I just finished watching your vid on You Tube and I figure if Beyonce can do The Master Cleanse for her role in Dream Girls... Thanks for the recipe!
This is so weird!! I've also been thinking about this for like 2-3 weeks. Its a good thing to do because your organs get a rest as well. The only problem is that I don't have a mind set to do it! I absolutely love food. :P
lol. my coworker did this... and she almost passed out 2x. then when she was off the clease... she gained like 20 lbs.
btw... i love your bangs! super cute on u! -ting
I have been searching for a good book to help me get through my diet. In the end I googled it and found this site http://www.hungryforweightloss.com.
They are giving away a free ebook called "365 tips for healthy living". I didn't expect it to be any good because it's free but it's actually brilliant so I thought i'd share it here :)
I just finished the master cleanse and for the first 2-3 days it was really hard. Afterwards it got easier because my body got used to it. I find that adding 1/2 a teaspoon of cayennepepper suppresses appetite so that was my secret to making it through.
At the end of the detox I notived some small bumps on the side of my neck but they're gone as well, so I guess it was just my bodu ridding itself of the toxins. I never thought I could do it because I love food but it's definetely doable.
Just my 2 cents :)
