There has been much buzz about the master cleanse diet which is also known as the lemonade diet and the maple syrup diet. This can be attributed to how Hollywood has been an avid fan of it.
The diet normally runs for a period of 10 days and during this time a dieter can rid himself of an amazing 20 pounds.
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.
However, if you do feel hungry, there is a simple remedy to that problem. All that you need to do is to drink your lemonade until the hunger goes away. The lemonade is a natural appetite suppressant so you will effectively chase hunger away with just a few sips.
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 normal though and you shouldnt take it as a bad sign if this happens. You will feel such symptoms because the cleanse is already taking place and the toxins are now all in your blood stream. Go on with your diet and you will begin experiencing the wonderful effects during the third day or so.
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.
