Weight Loss Watcher

The Master Cleanser Diet, popularly known as the Lemonade Diet, was developed by the late Naturopath Stanley Burroughs. Originally, it was intended to cleanse the system thoroughly of all waste and toxins, and thereby, enhance health and well-being.

Weight loss is a charming byproduct of this diet. The diet eliminates toxins from your body, cleanses your kidneys and digestive system, purifies your glands, removes the hardened toxic waste from your joints and muscles, purifies your bloodstream, and knocks off accumulated fat. As a weight reduction plan, it far surpasses the other diets. It is known to eliminate fat at the rate of two pounds per day for most people. In addition, it is devoid of any harmful side effects.

The Lemonade Diet is to be followed for a minimum of ten days, but you can stick to it for as long as forty days. Those who have adopted this diet take only a mixture of lime juice, organic grade B maple syrup, and a little cayenne pepper added to pure water. It is very important to take it easy when you break your ten-day long fast. Begin by taking orange or grapefruit juice for a day or two before you proceed to raw fruits and vegetables.

You might be the victim of several detoxifying symptoms as you bravely proceed with your Lemonade Diet. Do not be afraid of symptoms such as cravings, fatigue, and irritability. It is quite natural to crave for rich, fattening foods when you are on a fast. You will rarely feel hungry, and even if you do, you can easily tackle the pangs of hunger by simply ingesting more lemonade. Irritability is a natural consequence of craving for food; the desire to eat something solid. You will naturally feel tired when your body fights toxins accumulated over the years. If you are severely toxic, you might also experience physical aches, pains, and nausea. Coffee and tea addicts might experience headache for a day or two.

The symptoms, whatever they may be, hardly last for a day or two. Be assured that you are well on your way to losing not only a few pounds of fat but also a load of toxic waste. Although the medical community is skeptical about this diet, the fact that this diet has benefited thousands of people cannot be denied. If you stick to this diet, you will emerge more radiant, energetic, alert, active, and of course, slimmer than you were before you began it.
