The Lemonade Diet

Posted on 17. Dec, 2008 by Mike in The Master Cleanse




The Lemonade Diet is the portion of The Master Cleanse during which you consume only the Lemonade. It is a diet in the sense that you are restricted to a certain food. The Lemonade Diet is often used synonymously with The Master Cleanse, but I break it down in order to describe the portion of The Master Cleanse when you consume the nutrients and energy from the Fresh Lemon Juice, Rich Maple Syrup, and organic Cayenne Pepper.

The other sections of The Master Cleanse are the Ease-In, The Lemonade Diet (of course), the Salt Water Flush, the Ease-Out, and the Post Cleanse Lifestyle.

This page is dedicated to the directions to The Lemonade Diet Recipe as well as the ingredients, expectations, problems and experiences myself and the readers of this website have encountered.

The Lemonade Diet begins with preparing the Lemonade. During the diet, you will only consume the Lemonade that you make each day.  In order to ensure that it is fresh and will retain as much of the nutrients and energy as possible, you should prepare the Lemonade just moments before drinking it.

Ingredients for The Lemonade Diet Recipe

To make the Lemonade you will need the following ingredients:

  1. 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice from one half of a Lemon
  2. 2 Tablespoons of Rich Maple Syrup
  3. 1/10 of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
  4. 1 – 2 cups of Pure Water (Alkaline Water is best, in my opinion)

To prepare the Lemonade for the Lemonade Diet you will also need the following:

  1. 1 large cup to mix your lemonade in
  2. 1 Tablespoon Measure
  3. 1/10 Teaspoon Measure
  4. Cutting Board
  5. Sharp knife
  6. Juicer (Hand juicer or Power juicer)

Directions on making the Lemonade Diet Recipe

The Lemonade Diet Recipe

Start by rolling a Lemon on the cutting board to get it nice and juicy. Cut the lemon along its belly and grind it on the juicer. Do this until you have juiced half your lemons, or until you have no more room in your juicer.

Measure 2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice into your large cup.

Now measure and at 2 Tablespoons of Rich Maple Syrup to the cup.

Measure and add 1/10 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper to the cup (or more to taste).

Mix a and drink immediately.

While on the Lemonade Diet, you can and should drink plenty of Pure Water. I drink 1 cup as a chaser after each cup of Lemonade. You can drink more throughout the day. Try to avoid drinking more than double the amount of Lemonade each day.

What do you think of the Lemonade Diet?

As an essential part of the Master Cleanse, is the Lemonade Diet difficult or easy? Most people find it pretty hard, but some find it a breeze. How about you? Do you think The Lemonade Diet is easy or hard?

    I can’t believe people are doing this!
    Some of you have done it number of times.Wow! How many of you find yourself few months later gaining pounds that are harder to lose then ever before? Yes I’m talking to you. And I can tell you that it’s not because you got off the cleanse and started eating again, don’t beat yourself up for being normal vs extreme. You gained weight because you started the cleanse on the first place. This cleanse will cause you all not to wash the unwanted pounds of fat away, but by starving yourselves you’ll waste your muscle tone, which we all know weights more than fat. Your body needs set amount of protein each day, if you won’t provide it with nutrients it will pull it out from your muscles (organ or structural) one way or another, the body will cannibalize itself. As a after math reaction, there will be less muscle to burn fat and you’ll find yourself gaining fat pounds faster than ever before. Love handles, saggy arms, full thights are to come.
    You can do better for your body while still providing it with nutrients.
