The Lemonade Cleanse is a 10-14 day detox plan that replaces solid food with a lemonade mix containing water, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. It is believed to flush out toxins, but medical experts warn of potential risks such as loss of healthy bacteria in the intestines and inadequate calorie intake.
The Lemonade Cleanse, or Master Cleanse as it is often called, is a ten to 14 day diet and detox plan designed by Stanley Burroughs. The lemonade cleanse replaces an individual’s normal diet of solid foods with a lemonade mix that provides the necessary daily calorie requirements. The liquid mixture consumed during the lemonade cleanse is a combination of water, Grade B maple syrup, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. People who follow this cleansing diet generally perform a daily colon cleanse using a mixture of sea salt and water.
A person doing a lemonade cleanse typically drinks 33.8 to 67.6 ounces (1 to 2 liters) a day of a lemonade mix. Lemonade is made with 10 ounces (295.7 ml) of water, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Grade B maple syrup, and 0.1 teaspoon (approximately 0.46 grams) of allspice. cayenne Grade B maple syrup provides the necessary daily calories, and lemon juice and cayenne pepper provide the necessary vitamins and minerals.
The detoxifying properties of Lemonade Lemonade are, in theory, created by a lack of solid food intake and the cleansing properties of lemon juice and cayenne pepper, which are believed to help flush out toxins in the body. The colon is emptied due to lack of food intake combined with the use of a daily “salt water flush.” Salt water is made with 33.8 ounces (1 liter) of water and 2 teaspoons (9.6 grams) of sea salt, and after drinking this mixture, an individual will have repeated bowel movements that will empty the colon. According to Burroughs, this also creates a detoxifying effect, as the colon contains a large amount of toxin-rich waste.
Experts note that the lemonade cleanse can help people lose weight through the loss of water and solid waste. People can also lose muscle mass from a lack of adequate protein intake, which creates enhanced weight loss. Doctors note that body fat levels can generally stay the same after the lemonade cleanse.
According to medical experts, the liver works naturally to detoxify the body and Lemonade Lemonade does not contain a healthy daily intake of calories. Doctors point out that keeping the liver healthy and avoiding smoking will naturally ensure that the body remains free of toxins. Experts also warn that this diet can kill healthy bacteria in the intestines, which can lead to a decreased immune system response and difficulties with healthy digestion of food. People who follow this plan often gain weight after eating solid foods again because they are often hungry from fasting.
