As the Lemonade Diet begins to wrap up, we generally begin to see the effects coming into focus. A few of us don’t experience the effects – whether weight loss, or improved skin, or lost inches, or a sense of well-being – until later in the cleanse....

Day 8. By now, you'll know it can be an emotional rollercoaster. Each day feels like a continuous cycle of falling in love followed by depression because you were dumped. Sometimes I feel a deep loss for the food, like I will never eat again. Thankfully I realize, of...

Sometimes you will miss eating and crave eating again. The psychology of this process can be strange. You may occasionally, or even frequently, have thoughts of quitting. But you also know you can do it. Perhaps, to distract your mind, you move on to something else,...

Day 6 of the Lemonade Diet often begins to feel easier; like you’re really beginning to hit your stride. Day 6 is a turning point on the weekend, marching confidently towards the goal. Next Friday, we start on the orange juice. I chose this timing to highlight...

Gazing down the home stretch of the Lemonade Diet can be incredibly empowering. You can feel the momentum building towards the finish line, which at the same time can seem so far away. "Those last few days were hard, I've got five more to go." "I'm getting in the...

Day 4 may bring a clearing on several fronts. Often, you begin to get over the physical symptoms of what people call "Healing Events" (although they are reported to come throughout the cleanse, at any time). You may also get over the psychological need for food...

If Wednesday is hump day of the work week, day 3 is the hump day of the Lemonade Diet. Most people describe day 2 and day 3 as the very worst for cravings. By day 4, your body has adapted to its new routine and is no longer expecting meals at the usual times and the...

The false bravado of day 1 often comes crashing down on day 2. The first time I did the cleanse, I went flying into day 2 like the king of the world. I figured I got through day 1 so easily that this would be no problem. By the time lunch rolled around on day 2, I had...

Well, we are past the Ease-in (if you did one at all), and we are onto the main event – The Lemonade Diet. Whether you are a Master Cleanser in the true sense, doing your fifth or even tenth Master Cleanse, or you are a rookie going at it for the first time, the...

Coming down off solid foods, we move into the orange juice portion of the Ease-In/Ease-Out process. The Ease-In is not as important as the Ease-Out. During the Ease-Out, the first day after the lemonade, your stomach is used to the citrus juice every day. The orange...

Day 2 of the optional Ease-In starts by removing solid foods from our diet. Again, the Ease-In is just a reversal of the Ease-Out (which follows the Lemonade in the whole process of The Master Cleanse). Juicing fruits and vegetables is such a great way to get the...

Cayenne pepper, water, lemon, and maple syrup are the entire ingredients for the Master Cleanse recipe, and it would be impossible to get the full effects of the cleanse by leaving one out, but which is the most important? The cayenne pepper loosens and the water is...

If you're wondering what type of salt to use for your Master Cleanse salt water flush, we recommend Celtic Sea Salt. With a flavour subtler than that of the coarser variety, Celtic Sea Salt is an all-purpose shaker salt convenient for use at the table, or in baking....

A periodic colon cleanse will help clean your colon and allow your body to absorb better nutrients from the food passing through. Since your colon is essentially a filter for your entire body, colon cleansing will remove toxins and substances that your body rejects,...

Stopping The Master Cleanse can be (by far), the most dangerous part of cleansing, when done wrong. How dangerous? That depends on how far into the lemonade diet you are. If you’re just doing a 3 day lemon cleanse, you won’t have to be as careful as as you...

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 phrase "The Lemonade Diet" is often used synonymously with The Master Cleanse, but I break it...

Unlike the Ease-out, the Ease-in (Or Ease-On) is optional. However, after years of cleansing and supporting cleansers we've found that each of these three phases is equally as important to your successfully completing this sometimes challenging cleanse. Some people...

The Salt Water Flush, is a long used "hack", or trick to create an on-demand bowel movement of sorts. By drinking a sea salt solution, we can use the bodies own defense mechanism to temporarily suspend "digestion", and engage the "elimination" mechanism to remove the...

I have a tiny tummy. I get full fast and it’s is awesome. I still get to eat, and enjoy the taste. I get satiated – the feeling of being full, and satisfied. This happens, quickly. I don’t have the need to over eat. I am continuing to lose weight and...
