The Lemonade Diet
Share

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?

      I’ve done this cleanse before and am getting ready to do it again. I took the pills, started with the tea but like you it grossed me out. The pills worked great though.

i started the MASTER CLEANSE yesterday on ASH WEDNESDAY so that i would be in sync with jesus and his fast… Last year i lasted 4 days, and 3 nights with migraine headaches and stomach pains., was sick and miserable, rolling on the floor holding my stomach the first day…
This year, i am so far, doing just fine. i am not hungry at all ( yet) , and today is the second day…
i woke up this morning and thought i had a headache but i opened some port holes and let the ocean air in and i feel fine..the problem is i am an actor and i have to be on the set today and i am worried about the CRAFT TABLE, and THE FOOD they serve on a film set. ( yummy yummy , and a lot )
I am taking a large container ( 1 gallon) of the LEMONADE DIET MIX with me…pray for me….
By the way, i substituted the maple syrup with stevia as i had candida last year and have stopped eating all forms of sugar and the likes…
I was told that probably one of the reasons i could not complete the master cleanse last year is because of the stevia. it does not have the nutrients of the maple syrup, but this is not FULLY the case with my last year suffering.
My problem was that i waited until the day of starting the master cleanse to stop COFFEE as well, and that is what threw my system into shock, the CAFFEINE HALT!!!
this year, i stopped drinking the coffee a full week in advance, and even before that i started lowering the amount of coffee beans i put into the machine .
for a month, each week , i lowered the amount of beans until finally a week before the master cleanse i was down from three scoops of coffee beans to 1/2 scoop of coffee beans!!!
i also got a juicer for christmas which makes the preparation process a lot more fun and easier! ( crusinart)
yaeeeee me!

  You are not following the directions of the cleanse properly and this could do harm to your body. You REALLY should read Stanley Burroughs book before doing this. Please inform yourself the candida is not from the maple syrup. It is from too much bacteria in your system which will re regulated through the cleanse If candida is your concern try kefir. Understand that your focus and goal should be a way to jump start a healthy system. God will bless your other needs but that is through reading the Bible and gaining truth and through Worship.

    i dont think your response was to ME, because i AM following the MASTER CLEANSE and I DID read the book…. along with a thousand others, and comments from doctors who say if you use the maple syrup you are FEEDING the CANDIDA so i think i am going to listen to the doctors instead of you , if you dont mind.
    As it were, i completed 5 days of the MASTER CLEASNSE, could not do any longer ( last year i did less, so at least i’m imprvoving) and am now only eating green vegetables and brown rice for the remaining 40 -ish days til easter….plus the lax tea and still with the lemonade….kinda made that part up with all the different advice/information gathered.
    oh …obviously you did not, nor do have candida

  You have to use the Grade B maple syrup it is loaded with nutrients that your body needs to function properly. When I read the book it said to expect a day or two of sickness. The first time I did this cleanse I did it for 10 days on day 3 I was very sick but after that was fine and didn’t have any further problems.

Hello everyone who has tried this diet. I was wondering if anybody completed the diet, and if so what was the total weight loss or inches? I am excited and scared at the same time. I really want to do this and complete it. Thanks so much

  Amy:
  I’ve done it many times, Suceeded most of the time. I average a pound a day. The longest I did it was 2 weeks and I lost 14lbs. Just make sure you follow the instructions and don’t cheat. It’s easier for some than others. I’m on my 2nd day and doing ok. I usually get a 2-3 day migraine but I didn’t this time. Not sure why but glad. Goodluck-

Can I use the Truvia sugar replacement instead of the Maple Syrup?

  The problem with replacing the sweetener with Truvia or Splenda, is that you’re negating the calories, minerals, and nutrients from the Maple Syrup.

last night I took the laxative tea and Today was my first day on the Master Cleanse. I did the SWF this morning and it took me 15 min to dring it…I must say it is not easy with the gag reflex that is why it took me so long to drink it……After drinking, it took about an hour until I had to use the restroom and then an hour lateer I had to use it again. …it wasn’t so bad, I guess because for the past couple of months I have been already taking the laxative teas …..For the rest of the day I had the lemonade about 3 times…I dont’ like the Maple Syrup taste in the lemonate so that is why I only had it 3 times….I hope its still okay if it’s not the 6 glasses …..As far as hunger pains , yes my stomach growled a couple of times and I think I was hallucinating foods LOLOL, so I just had the lemonade…..and to make it even harder my husband cooked dinner < I thought I was gonna lose it , but I held it together and looking towards the 2nd day…..

I just started the diet today w/ my boyfriend. We used the tea last night and did the SWF this morning. Does everyone do the SWF EVERY day? I found myself sick after 2 gulps =[ I’m surprisingly not hungry after just one glass of the lemonade though. And its real nice to know there’s an active community out there for this!
