Just about everybody has heard about the master cleanse diet. It is the detoxification program a well known, award-winning singer used to lose twenty pounds in ten days before she starred in a Hollywood movie about ’60s soul singers.
The basics of the program are quite simple. You mix up a special lemonade beverage and it is basically all you live on for ten days. The drink is made with freshly squeezed lemon juice, grade B organic maple syrup, cayenne pepper and filtered water. The recipe is widely available on the internet, and a link where you can get the precise formula is provided for you at the end of this article.
Advocates of the diet say it does more than help you lose pounds. They claim it also flushes toxins out of the body so those who complete the regimen end up feeling more energetic and generally more healthy.
But in order to enjoy those benefits a person first must complete the 10-day process, and that is the most difficult part. Most people quit on about the third day. They simply find it too painful. They feel starved and their mood becomes very ornery and unpleasant. As a result, any effort and suffering they went through for several days was simply wasted. To top it off, they feel like a failure.
If only they knew there is a recommended menu of things you should eat before you start the cleanse. If only they had been told about a common supplement you can take to suppress your appetite so you don’t feel so starving, and instructed about a certain herbal product that relieves another unpleasant side effect of the diet. There is also a special list of foods people should eat as soon as their ten days have ended that helps make the master cleanse even more beneficial.
The trouble is that when Stanley Burroughs wrote what he called the Master Cleanser Diet back in the 1970s, he failed to include the important steps listed above.
Because most people want to feel healthier and enjoy more energy, and a large number of men and women, especially in North America, would be better off if they lost a few pounds, it is a shame that the majority of the books, web sites and articles written about this popular cleanse and detoxification program fail to present the entire, step-by-step sequence that has helped people succeed.
