Master Cleanse The Real Deal?
Saturday, July 4th, 2009First it was the Atkins diet but now it’s the master cleanse diet. The master cleanse, lemonade, or maple syrup diet has been a common household name all thanks to the Hollywood stars that have used it to lose weight.
The diet normally runs for a period of 10 days and during this time a dieter can rid himself of an amazing 20 pounds.
But this was not what the maker of the master cleanse diet had really intended the diet to be. The diet was to be a cleansing diet that would allow the dieter to excrete all the toxins in his system. The side effect to this though is the weight loss. It is because of this that the diet was also attributed to be a reducing diet.
A person who wants to try out the master cleanse diet will have to go on for 10 days without eating any solid food and drinking only the lemonade.
The lemonade will be a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Because the lemonade will have all the nutritional and caloric requirements that your body needs to survive, you will not feel any hunger pangs.
In the case though that you feel hungry all that you have to do is to take a sip of your lemonade. Your lemonade acts as a natural appetite suppressant so you not feel any hunger as long as you chug on it.
If you lead a very active lifestyle, you can always carry a bottle of lemonade around so that you can take a sip whenever you need to.
It is natural for the dieter to feel lightheaded, faint and sick during the first few days.
This is not something that suggests that you are experiencing something bad with the diet. Rather it signals that the cleanse is occurring since the reason why you are feeling sick is because the toxins have already gone to your blood stream to be removed. Just continue with your diet and things will improve as you progress.
The estimated weight loss is 2 pounds for every single day so it pays to follow the diet really strictly. If you are overweight and you want to lose more you may also decrease the amount of maple syrup you mix in. You can stick to the basic 10 days but you can also go from 7 to 12 days of dieting.
