I am interested in detoxing and beginning to eat better. I have read a lot about the Lemonade Diet. Sometimes this is called the Master Cleanse, but I always have called it the Lemonade Diet.

It seems safe. You start the Diet by making the Lemonade out of Lemons, Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper. You don’t eat or drink anything else except water while doing the Lemonade Diet and supposedly you loose lots of fat and eliminate toxins that are stored up in your body.

I understand lots of people get scared of the Lemonade Diet because it is an unknown, alternative idea but I want to know if there are any factual pros or cons to doing it. Drinking the Lemonade seems to give you calories and nutrients (rich, organic lemons and high grade sugar) and so it would seem the diet is like an internal IV system.

Thanks for your help.

The Lemonade Diet is not a FAD. A fad generally has no basis and is followed blindly. Yes it is called the Master Cleanse, or Master Cleanser, The Maple Syrup Diet, They Cayenne Pepper Diet and the Beyonce Diet - Because she purportedly has done the cleanse (amongst other celebrities). This is perhaps why some will quickly dismiss The Lemonade Diet as fad or scam.

It amazes me how people, even so called experts will dismiss the benefits of this great diet, cleanse, lifestyle, fast or what ever you call it. The Lemonade Diet has very little bad commentary online. Check this site for hundreds of happy users. http://themastercleanse.org/the-lemonade-diet - There are also directions and other great information there. If ever there are problems it is almost always due to existing, extreme physical disease that no cleanse could help, or may even exasperate. This is why you should always do due diligences when trying something, especially when it comes to your health.

The Lemonade diet, shouldn’t be abused by doing it too frequently, or for too long, or not taking enough nourishment from the Lemonade. When you take the amounts suggested, it seems clear that there is enough calories and nutrients in the 3 main ingredients to supply your body for each day, while resting digestion. It also makes sense that your body will eliminate toxins that are stored in your body.

Call it what you will, the Lemonade Diet does produce weight loss effectively, and having done it 8 times I can tell you that i feel great doing it and after it. You won’t put all the weigh back on if you don’t start eating poorly. And of course you should move towards having a balanced diet as suggested by other answers. But the Lemonade Diet can provide a nice boost in the direction towards a healthy lifestyle. As a detox, it is less known how effective the cleanse is. But know this - animal instinctively fast when they are sick.

Do your research. Google The Master Cleanse, or The Lemonade Diet. Go to websites like http://themastercleanse.org and Groups on Facebook. See how many are satisfied. Remember that many people dismiss what they don’t understand. Fear controls most people and prevents them from seeing alternative solutions until much later when they conclude that they agreed all along.

Good luck with your choice to change your eating habits and use any diet, cleanse or fast wisely.
