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:

2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lemon Juice from one half of a Lemon
2 Tablespoons of Rich Maple Syrup
1/10 of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
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 large cup to mix your lemonade in
1 Tablespoon Measure
1/10 Teaspoon Measure
Cutting Board
Sharp knife
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?

Lemonade Diet Day 4-

Ok, day 4! Doing alright. Had a ton of energy after my bike ride to work; it’s drained a bit since but picks up with the lemonades. I think it’s work producing any sluggishness today more than the cleanse :)

I’m finally expelling more than mostly water once a day after the swf. I think I need to drink a Smooth Move at night and in the morning as well, it’s done the trick today!

I smell horrible. My mouth anyway… I’m thinking of this as a good and normal thing. I now take a toothbrush and tongue scraper everywhere. Also, I smell everything. Ridiculously. People smell terrible, the streets smell terrible, my boyfriend smells terrible. Smoke makes me gag.

The thought of food doesn’t do much to me now, but the smells are mesmerising. Even food I wouldn’t touch normally…. which is disappointing, because by the end of yesterday smells didn’t phase me. However, when the office was full of the colleagues’ Chinese takeout smell it was more nasty than appealing. I get occasional fantasies of fresh vegetables and whole grains. I wish I could bottle them and use them when the cleanse is over and I’m craving Camembert on French bread :) I am thinking seriously about my future health today, and am not as depressed as I was yesterday.

Last night after the flush my body reminded me that I had not had enough lemonade in the day… I’ve been taking it easy and letting my body decide when it actually feels hungry or not rather than having a drink because it’s “about that time”. Anyway, I don’t think I will drink anymore lemonade at night; I couldn’t sleep well past bedtime and was full of energy and in great spirits… until the boyfriend came home after a couple of beers and cigarettes and I almost barfed from the residual smell.

I am loving the psychological element to this cleanse. I am ashamed at how closely food and pleasure are linked in my brain. I get impulses to pop into the shops for “something” to relieve boredom more than hunger. I’ve admitted that I use food as a reward, a comfort, a friend, something to do and pretty much anything else I am missing. Horrible.

Socially the cleanse has been interesting as well. I am often lonely because I don’t want to go out and drink water in a smokey pub to meet friends, and my colleagues think I’m insane. My boyfriend’s even scared that I will become emotionally or glycaemically unstable as a result of the cleanse and unbearable to be around… though he does admit that I’ve been better than my usual self so far ;)

Sorry about the “book”….turns out I needed to talk!

Okay, so I am starting Day 1 tomorrow. Anyone else doing this that has Lap-Band? It’s kind of impossible for me to drink anything quickly…chugging is a no go. Will it still work if I am sipping the lemonade all day?

  I don’t know about “lap-band”, but there’s no need to chug the lemonade at all. I’m obviously no expert, but no one’s ever said to chug it, just enjoy it! Now, the swf, on the other hand, couple be a challenge. I kinda chug it to get it over with, but others have mentioned that a straw helps? The second “revisited” good book about the cleanse says you should get the whole thing down within 10 minutes….it’s a LOT of salt water. Hope it works out for you!

Lemonade Diet Day 1. I’ve drunken a little less then a quart of sea salt this morning due to not being able to drink it anymore. I did the cleanse 2 months ago for 5 days and lost 8lbs. My stomach felt wonderful and actually looked smaller. I am determined this go around to complete 10 days. Oh yeah and I never gained those 8lbs back!

I did the Master Cleanse diet 5 yrs ago for 8 days. The beginning was hard because I wanted food. By the 2nd or 3rd day it was easier because I figured out that my stomach didn’t want the food but my mind did. I lost 15 lbs in those 8 days. The first thing to go was my stomach. I kept off those 15 lbs for 2 yrs. I am now going to do it again because it works.

Lemonade, day 1 – All seems to be going fine except when I pee, it is starting to be a little painful. Could this be because of the change in the acidity of the liquids I’m ingesting? Will it get better when my body gets used to the lemonade? I’m a little concerned about this, as I’ve never had this happen before.

Lemonade diet day 3: so today i did the SWF in the morning,err when i woke up which was at about 12.haha.
so i was dreading it cuz for some reason waking up to that doesn’t seem too pleasant to me..but i did it and the when i was ALMOST finished i accidentally threw up it was weird just water:o
so i was hoping it would still work…oh boy,did it work!:o…
muahaha
i haven’t weighed myself or anything but when i put my jeans on they fit a lot better and i FEEL great!
every time i start thinking about just EATING something i remind myself of how good ill feel if i accomplish my 10 days
and it keeps me motivated.

should i do the SWF again tonight or is that bad to do it twice a day?
“2 more days till I’m halfway there!!” is how im looking at it for now.hahah it makes me feel better!!
