Lemonade Master Cleanse Detoxification

The lemon master cleanse is being touted as one of the best new “Hollywood Diets” on the market. This is a major misconception and one that we need to address before we go any further. The detoxification process is a good one, using it for the wrong reasons and the wrong way can be lethal. The Master Cleanse was designed by Stanley Burroughs in 1976 and has a full book that goes along with it. I would highly recommend reading the book prior to starting the cleanse if you chose to do it.

Personally I have done the Master Cleanse twice and have had wonderful results. Did I do it just to lose weight? NO. I will NOT now or ever support this detoxification program as a fad diet, though you obviously will lose weight while you are on it. I had many other beneficial results from the cleanse though. Let us begin with the ingredients for the cleanse and we can go further into the results this combination give you.

The recipe per serving is as follows: 1 cup distilled/filtered water, 2 tablespoons Grade B Maple Syrup (organic if possible), 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon (half of a regular lemon is usually this amt), and Cheyenne to taste. You need to drink at least 12 glasses of this a day to get enough calories and you should not be working out while you are on lemonade master cleanse detox.You can drink as many as you want but you need to drink at least 12. Along with a colon flush once a day and a Smooth Move tea at night.

If you do not drink enough or try to work out too much you WILL do damage to your system due to the fact that your body will start to attack it’s fat stores which is not the goal. Drinking the minimum you will get just over 1000 calories, it is more than enough to survive but not push yourself to excess. People have said that lemon master cleanse is bad for various reasons including calorie intake, though with the maple syrup this is definitely not the case. The reality is that people have been fasting on much fewer calories than the lemon cleanse has you ingesting for literally thousands of years.

The lemon and the Cheyenne work together to exfoliate the lining of the intestines and when you do your colon flush (once a day) you help to push the exfoliated “gunk” through the intestines. This was the hardest part of the whole program for me. Here are some tips for getting the un-iodized salt water flush down that I found helpful! The colon flush consists of drinking 32 ounces of water with 2 teaspoons of uniodized salt. This does NOT increase your blood pressure as the salt is never absorbed by the body. The salt is used to weigh the water down making it more dense than blood. This additional weight causes the water to “push” through the intestines and flush the stuff that has sloughed off the intestinal walls with the lemon and the Cheyenne.

Often we treat our bodies like we do our cars. We abuse them in so many ways. An old saying from the rodeo is “rode hard and put up wet”. The lemonade master cleanse detox is a way to “reset” your system, clear out what you have put through it. This often takes more than one go round, personally for me it took a second go round.

In today’s world many try to take the “easy” way out or cheat, which this program does not allow. If you cheat or don’t follow the procedures for weaning yourself back onto food you can suffer serious consequences. Yet, if done correctly, it can help to completely detoxify your body which can help with many things. Some of the things that have been attributed to the cleanse are positive results with: diabetes, eye sight, blood clots, blood pressure, weight, IBS, cessation of smoking, weight loss, and much much more.

Personally I had wonderful results both times that I performed the lemonade master cleanse detox as did my husband, but I do feel that you need to do the colon flush. It was a safe effective way for us to address our eating habits and clean up our bodies. While it is difficult, the results were wonderful for us. I intend to do it again in another 3 months and will keep a running journal of it just like I did the previous times.
