Master Cleanse Diet Review

The Master Cleanse diet is also known as the Lemonade diet. This is because you are required to drink a lemonade, tea, and salt water to cleanse your body from harmful toxins and fat. Most dieticians are against the diet claiming that you will only lose water weight, you will deprive yourself of needed nutrition, and you will gain the weight back immediately after the fast ends. In spite of this, the Master Cleanse has gained popularity thanks to celebrity endorsements like Beyonce, Jared Leto, and Oprah.

How Does This Body Cleanse Work?

The Master Cleanse involves you buying several ingredients (lemons, sea salt, cayenne pepper powder, maple syrup, and laxative tea) and using a recipe found online you can make the concoctions very inexpensively. You drink a glass of this concoction 6-12 times a day. The purpose of the cleanse is to:

• Clean your kidneys and digestive system
• Cleanse your glands and the cells in your body
• Remove waste and hardened matter in the joints and muscles
• Relieve pressure in the arteries, nerves, and blood vessels
• Create a healthy blood stream
• Return youthfulness to the body

Our Thoughts on the Master Cleanse Diet

There are several things that you should keep in mind if you want to this diet to be successful. First of all, do NOT drink the saltwater beverage that is recommended. This will only cause you to excrete more water and leave you dehydrated. Don't exercise in any activity that would cause you to sweat a lot. Again, you could easily get dehydrated. You should not do the Master Cleanse for more than 10 days to two weeks at a time. Your body needs to rest. If the hunger becomes unbearable then eat some raw fruits and vegetables and a little bit of starch twice a week, such as a baked potato or some brown rice.

Side Effects / Negatives of This Body Cleanse

Many people that begin the Master Cleanse are unprepared for some of the side effects that will occur. Detoxification literally means that you are removing deadly poisons from your body. Once the poisons are gone, you will feel reenergized, full of vitality and life, and have increasing stamina. Unfortunately as these toxins are leaving your body, many unpleasant symptoms will occur including:

• Head aches and severe stomach pains
• Frequent Bowel Movements
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea and Nausea
• Lightheadedness
• Weakness
• Joint Pains

The Master Cleanse can help you lose some weight (probably no more than 10 pounds) and feel stronger and healthier. However, it is important to keep in mind the drawbacks. There will be some intense discomfort during the Master Cleanse. Also, this is not a one-time cure. In order to keep your body free of toxins, you will have to make radical changes to your diet and probably do the Cleanse several times a year. Be sure to take everything into consideration before deciding if the Master Cleanse is right for you.
