Will I lose weight with the lemon detox diet?

The lemon detox diet (aka lemonade diet, master cleanse diet, lemon juice maple syrup diet, lemon juice diet etc.) is a cleansing and detox diet similar to a juice fasting diet.
Although weight loss will occur (Beyonce lost 20 pounds for her role in Dream Girls) the benefits are rather associated with health and vitality. (See lemon detox Health benefits.)

Following a lemon detox diet program requires a great deal of will power. The success rate is not high (people really battle through the first 3 days) as this is largely a fasting diet. The only source of energy and essential nutrients is from the lemonade and honey (however there are some permissible cheats - read about them here).

Lemonade Detox Diet Recipe & Program

The lemonade detox diet program consists of three steps:

1) The lemon detox diet recipe (lemonade diet ingredients):

• 2 Tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (organic)
• 2 Tablespoons of maple syrup (organic and Grade B)
• 1/10 Teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper
• 10 oz (300ml) of filtered water and Not bottled water

Drink 8-12 servings of lemonade a day. If you make a big mix to save time you should make sure to keep it refrigerated. Do not keep more than a one day supply as the lemonade will lose its essential nutrients.

The lemonade mixture is surprisingly tasty as the cayenne will give it a tangy flavor! If you don't like the taste you can also buy some cayenne pepper capsules and take them with each glass of lemonade.

2) A herbal laxative tea (found in most herbal or grocery stores) should be taken in the evening just before bed time. The laxative will help with constipation due to lack of fiber.

3) Saline or salt water mixture should be taken first thing in the morning. The mixture should consist of of 2 level teaspoons of uniodized sea salt and a quart of lukewarm water.

There are some other beverages allowed while on the lemonade master cleanse diet, like filtered (non-fluorated) water and peppermint tea, but for the best tips and guidelines about what other foods you can eat (very important) and how to finish the diet see lemon detox secrets.

Health benefits of the lemon detox diet

Many people with weight problems are often told that the reason they don't see any results from diets and exercise is because they are cheating, lazy or don't have the willpower to do what's required. However in many instances this is just not true. When our bodies are clogged with toxins, and our intestines are coated with thick mucus, our natural metabolism suffers immensely.

Here are some of the health benefits of the lemon detox diet recipe that can help you to reclaim your health, revitalize your body and mind, and help speed up your metabolism:

• Toxins are dissolved and flushed from the body (joints, liver, intestines etc.)
• The kidneys and digestive system are cleansed
• Glands and cells are purified and rejuvenated
• Pounds of waste that builds up in the intestines is released like chunks of black tar or rubber! (Sorry I have to be so explicit but it's true) really disgusting stuff like phlegm, mucus comes out that has been clinging to the inside of your intestines for years.
• Appetite stabilizes and metabolism increases while the body adjusts to it's optimal weight
• Hormone levels stabilize (very important)
• Appetite alters naturally towards healthier foods
• Reduction in internal inflammation and aching joints, and relief of infections, pain, gout and arthritic symptoms are commonly reported
• Increase in energy levels
  

Finishing the lemon detox diet

You should transition back to normal foods slowly and first begin with freshly squeezed fruit juices for the first 36 hours. After that you can move to fruits, vegetables and thin vegetable soups for the next 2 to 3 days.
