| Lose Weight With the Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet |
 |
| By robertpalmer |

This is also called the master cleanser lemonade fast, lemonade detox
diet and lemonade cleansing diet. It is very popular now. Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 10 days for Dream Girls
with it and Robin Quivers (Howard Stern's assistant) heard about it
from magician, David Blaine. She lost 73 pounds with it. There are many
testimonials of people losing weight and getting other benefits so it
is a great way to lose weight, like before the prom. But there are some
problems with it.
Many people have practiced fasting including
Jesus, Moses, Aristotle, Mark Twain, Mahatma Gandhi,Hippocrates and
many medical doctors. Because of this, it has been constantly improved
upon. But because the lemonade diet was created by one person, Stanley
Burroughs, it has attracted many people who are afraid to improve on it
or change anything about it. So they follow it as a cult.
It is
like fasting since they are not eating food. So they get many of the
benefits of fasting like losing weight and blood purification. The
lemonade diet recipe contains these ingredients: water, freshly
squeezed lemon or lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
People
experienced with fasting know that you do not have to worry about the
colon. Fasting gives it a vacation and it works better than ever after
the fast. With the lemomade fast people lose weight and get health
benefits from not eating. But there is a practice done as part of it
known as the Salt Water Flush where you drink water with a lot of salt in it. This has genererated many complaints.
People
complain about the taste of it and about wanting to vomit after doing
it and other problems. It consists of drinking salt water which does
not get digested, but goes through and comes out the same way that
solid waste comes out. Also they complain how you have to be home with
easy access to the toilet since this stuff can come out very quickly.
The purpose of doing it is to cleanse the colon. I tried it and it did
work but I felt sick afterwards.
Now these people do not know
why it goes through undigested. The reason is because it is very toxic.
It does not take much salt, which is not a food, to kill someone. A guy
dissolved 4 ounces of salt (112,000 mg) in a quart of water and drank
it and it killed him. A quarter pounder is 4 ounces. The American
Medical Association is trying to get the FDA to make salt a regulated
substance so they can limit the amount that is put in foods.
If
someone consumes no salt for 2 weeks, they can lose up to 20 pounds
(mostly water weight). I will not go into a full explanation of it
which is on my webpage on losing weight, but salt has no calories but
can make you fat due to water retention. Water weight makes you look
very fat. Also consuming less calories and burning lots of calories has
no effect on this weight.
Already some who are followers of
this lemonade diet, have made minor improvements like replacing maple
syrup with agave (a natural sweetener from a cactus) and taking the
cayenne in a shot glass so they can enjoy the lemonade. See site below
for more on losing weight with the lemonade diet.
