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?

Hi, for anyone not having BM’s you need to drink a cup of smooth move at bedtime each night. That’s what cleans you out. Also, it’s okay to make a gallon for the day and drink a cup here and there as the day goes by. Just remember each cup should contain 2 tablespoons of the Lemon Juice, Malpe Syrup and Cayenned Pepper (to taste). It’s easier than making a cup or two at a time. This works, I lost 10lbs in a week. Good Luck!!!

Is it easier to make a gallon of the lemonade or make each glass separately. Please let me know as I am going to start the diet tomorrow. And if the gallon is the way to go, what would the measurements be?

  No That’s great! It’s a sign that you are detoxing. Typically once your tongue is back a normal pink your body has gotten rid of most of it’s gunk. I use a tongue scraper to help with appearance and breath

Im so glad I just saw that comment above about not drinking the 6 glasses. Its the BIGGEST challenge for me. Im on day 3 and yesterday I had maybe 1 glass of lemonade. Today Im going to make sure I do more, but I cant drink that stuff allllll day, so do I lose out? Im not eating @ all, so I havent cheated and proud of that but I feel discouraged like Im doing it wrong because I have no desire to drink 6 glasses or even 4 at this rate. Im on the same glass since this morning…

  if i were you..i would stop drinking the coffee 1 week or even 10 days before you start the fast..if you dont, you are going to have migrane headaches from hell!!
  
  last year, i did not know this , as it was my first time doing the master cleanse, so i stopped coffee the same day i started the fast, and i suffered and just wanted to die…i was seriously laying on the floor with headaches and nauseau , from all the withdrawals..the coffee withdrawal, the carb withdrawal…
  the potato chip withdrawal, the cheese withdrawal…
  
  it went on for the first three days , lessoning a wee bit each day, but i was still extremely ill and miserable.
  
  this year, i ” kinda” stopped drinking the cofee 7 days before i started the fast and i had absolutely no headaches at all…
  as a matter of fact, about a month before i knew i was going to start the fast, i even started reducing the number of coffee beans i use each day, as i love “fresh cofeee” i use three scoops of beans per cup..( yeah yeah i know ) … so the first few days i reduced it to 2 and 1/2 scoops , then 2 scoops, then 1 and 1/2 scoop, then 1 scoop, until finally i was picking beans out of the 1 scoop i was using and by then it was the week before the fast so i stopped drinking coffee altogether
  i wish you luck, truly i do! let me know how you fare

Hello All!

I am on Day Four of the cleanse and am not having any BMs! I feel like this is very strange! Please help, I’m thinking of throwing in the towel.
