The Master Cleanse is powerful in its simplicity. Although very few ingredients are required, the quality of the ingredients is important. Every ingredient should be whole, organic grade, unrefined with no preservatives. The point is to remove chemicals from your system, to eliminate toxins. Your common sense should tell you that canned lemon juice does not have the same nutritional content as fresh squeezed. It should also tell you that organic is free from chemicals and pesticides. The maple syrup will need to be full of nutrients too, and this means no Aunt Je-my-god-this-is-so-refined-sugary-crap maple syrup. Get whole foods. Unrefined foods.

Equipment

To complete the diet, very little in terms of equipment or apparatus is required. All items are small, taking up very little space in your cupboard and counter. They are all simple and easy to clean, and should not provide you with any excuses for not starting. In a few months, this site may begin to offer packages, including all items required for the cleanse.

12″ Cutting Board
Sharp Knife
Hand Juicer
Tablespoon Measure
3 – 1 Liter Chuggables

Easing Transistion

A post-diet regimen is essential. As with the diet itself, the quality of the ingredients is important. Organic is good, but a lack of organic foods should not keep you from starting; if you can’t find organic, get regular produce.

Organic Oranges
Organic Cabbage
Organic Spinach
Organic Carrots
Organic Tomatoes

The Diet

The diet itself is also simple and requires only five ingredients. You will want to make sure you have at least several days worth of supplies. I have been caught without maple syrup before and have had to make a dash for a whole foods retailer late one night. This is your nourishment, and simply, if you don’t have it you can’t eat, so be prepared. I shop for a whole week. That can be up to 20 lemons, and 1 liter of maple syrup. In a few months, we will be offering a starter kit that will include all items except the lemons.

Organic Lemons
Organic Grade B Maple Syrup
Organic Cayenne Pepper
Organic unrefined Sea Salt
Purified Water

Can you eat pudding or jello on the lemon diet? What is an un-healthy weight to be using this diet? Will it work if you simply use it for five days?

  It just baffles me that people ask questions BEFORE they even read about the process.

  Hi, I was wondering if I could use raw honey as a substitute for the maple syrup, or possibly raw agave nectar. I’m trying to increase the nutrient load of the lemonade. I don’t see how the maple syrup could be so essential..

i’ve heard of people using apple cider vinegar instead of lemons… is that ok, and if so, how much and how often? can you use it for the entire duration of the cleanse?
