After reading so many good things about the lemonade diet, do you feel the excitement of doing the diet too? The Lemonade Diet a.k.a. the Master Cleanse is one of the most famous diets in United States nowadays because it helps tens of thousands of people to cleanse their body and lose weight at the same time every year!
Many people have visited our site and enquired about losing weight on the lemonade diet – whether your weight will yo-yo back, or are you losing water weight or fats, or simply how much weight would you lose after 10 days?
If you want to lose weight, you may want to look at this program – Fat Burning Furnace. There are thousands of people who have succeeded with this program and I personally think that their principles are great and natural. The amount of weight you can lose depend on how closely you follow on the program.
But if you want to detoxify and cleanse your body of all the toxins and wastes that have accumulated in your body for years, then you should try the lemonade diet.
Important note: Lemonade diet is a 10 day fast which you are only allowed to drink the lemonade concentrate and nothing else. Even though the steps are easy to follow, but if you missed out any instructions, it may affect your health. Hence it is important that you do your research properly before you embark on the cleanse. By right, any fasting should have some supervision by a fasting professional if one is doing a fast that is longer than 3-5 days.
Hence, it is advisable for you to get a master cleanse guide to help you do the lemonade diet safely and successfully.
So let’s find out some basics and the recipe for the lemonade diet.
Firstly, the Lemonade Diet, also known as the Master Cleanse Diet, allows you to consume a lemonade concoction, for the entire period of the diet. Quintessentially, you are required to drink at least 60 oz of the lemonade concoction, a day; water is permitted as well. However, drinking and eating other food than the requirement is not allowed.
On top of that, you would need to take both the salt water flush and the laxative tea in the morning and evening respectively.

Below is the recipe for a single serving in the Lemonade Diet, if you need more help with the recipe, subscribe to our newsletter below:
These ingredients must be properly mixed to come up with the correct lemonade concoction:
o 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
o 2 tablespoons of grade B organic maple syrup
o A 10th of a teaspoon of powdered organic cayenne pepper
o Distilled water in 10 oz glasses
You would need to drink at least 6-10 servings a day. There are no specific guidelines when you should drink the lemonade, but as a rule of thumb, drink it when you are hungry.
• Lemon Juice
Approximately ½ of a lemon will be needed to create 2 tablespoons of the juice. If making a whole day’s supply is preferred, bear in mind lemon juice will spoil in 8 hours, regardless of placing the lemon juice in the fridge.
Never use canned lemon juice, as canned lemon juice no longer contains the needed vitamins and nutrients. Our body needs all the nutrients that is only available from fresh lemon juice because only the lemonade will be consumed for the entire 10 days of the Master Cleanse.
Do remember to use organic lemons because non-organic lemons contain toxins like pesticides, otherwise it will defeat the purpose of doing the master cleanse.
• Grade B Organic Maple Syrup
Only use the Grade B Organic Maple Syrup. Other types of maple syrup are not appropriate for The Lemon Diet. Grade B Organic Maple Syrup should not be mistaken for commercial maple syrup used on pancakes, the two are different maple syrup.
Grade B are also more superior in terms of nutritional value. Many websites are saying that as long as you are using the organic maple syrup, then it should be fine. But the truth is if you really can’t find the grade B Organic Maple Syrup, then you have no choice but to use the organic maple syrup.
• Powdered Cayenne Pepper
The powerful healing properties of Cayenne Pepper should never be taken for granted. Regarded as one of the world’s best healing herbs, Cayenne Pepper increases the body’s blood flow. Has a rich amount of vitamins B and C. Cayenne Pepper is known to prevent heart attacks. Powdered Cayenne Pepper is highly recommended, compared to ungrounded Cayenne Pepper
Most of the time, participants find it difficult to acquire the taste of the powdered cayenne pepper. They couldn’t really drink the lemonade with the cayenne pepper and give up halfway.
If you find it difficult to drink it too, here’s a tip… You should actually start off with a little cayenne pepper and get use to the taste and slowly add more cayenne pepper. Don’t use the cayenne pepper pills manufactured by the pharmaceutical companies as most of the time, most of the nutritional value in the cayenne pepper will be gone.
How much of cayenne pepper is needed in the capsules? Just a measure of 1/10 teaspoon of a powdered cayenne pepper will do.

@Rick: It would still be best to use organic lemons as it would contain no pesticides or nitrates fertilizers.
CAN IT BE ANY TEA HHAS LONG AS IT CONTAINS SENNA? AND DO WE HAVE TO DO THE SWF?
how do you make the organic sea salt flush???
I was wondering do I have to use the Maple Syrup, or can I just drink it with the lemons and Powdered Cayenne Pepper? I didn’t like the taste with the maple, but I like it without, but I’m not sure if it will have the smae effects or not. Thx!
@Candice: It’ll have a different effect on your body and it’s a must for the original master cleanse recipe. You should get use to the taste of maple syrup.
So what is the whole point of the maple syrup? I’ve even tried molasse, and I just can’t swallow it, I had hard enough time swallowing the salt water. Will I still be able to cleanse with just lemon and cayenne?
can I use grade A pure maple syrup?
will this diet cause any side effects such as blood pressure going up or any other side effects can i eat on this cleanse
Bonjour, Nice to join you, I am Julia
Amy, I have the same question! Does anybody know the answer? Also, how long do you break in between this diet and how much or little weight will be lost?
my sister and mom and I started the lemonade diet today and cheated already! its sooooo hard. especially when your attending a graduation dinner at home town buffet. and you go home and smell fresh salmon from the oven. does this mean i have to start over tomorrow?? hopefully its a better day…
rick how much weight did u lose on the 21 day cleanse, and did u have any health problems from staying on the cleanse for so long?
The lemon is for bioflavenoids, the cayenne pepper is to add warm up the digestive tract, and the maple syrup is for the B vitamins each of these ingredients work together to do the job.
If you dislike one of the ingredients then replace it with the vitamin pill requirement each and every usuage.
It is recommended that one take a 7-10 day break in betweeen cleanses so one does not ‘overcleanse’ the body by flushing out needed vitamins and minerals as opposed to the desired fat and toxins which are removed during the intended use.
You are allowed to use grade A maple organic syrup if you cannot find the grade B. To make the Salt Water Flush, all you have to do is mix 2 teaspoons of sea salt in with one liter of water. I usually do 2 tablespoons. Make sure that you all of it. I prefer to do it at night.
My very big concern is developing diarrhea and stomach cramping, because I have IBS d/t fibromyalgia. Has anyone experienced these issues to a debilitating level?
I work at night so can i do half in the daytime until i go to sleep and half at night and the sea salt in the morning
do everything have to be organic can i use real lemon juice or plain sea salt and should the lemonade mix be warm and can i use filtered or tap water
can i use a plastic water bottle instead of glass or only use glass and if i make my lemonade lets say three portion in one glass do i drink it all or can i dip on it
@geraldine: you need to use organic lemons and organic sea salt for the cleanse. For the lemonade, it would be best to use distilled water. room temperature or cold doesn’t matter.
HOW SOON AFTER YOUR SEA SALT FLUSH SHOULD OU DRINK YOUR LEMONADE
can we drink plain water?
if we don’t
than it should be a water losing diet.
so it won’t work on fats..
hi all, i started my diet yesterday.. till today I have no problem but I am not able to find grade B maple syrup here so I am using Grade C is tht ok?
just wondering if this really works? I quit smoking and have packed on 20lbs in 4 mths, my sister is going to do this lemonaid diet with me and we are both over weight and are hoping to drop a shit load of pounds but need to confirm this will work before I go out and buy all this organic stuff that will ony give me diarrhea and starve me to binge.
can i do the sea salt flush at night?
@admin or @ricky
What type of tea should be used?
@Stefani : you can use non-caffeinated laxative tea. Maybe you can try the peppermint tea.
@chris: Yes, you can do in the night. But it would better to do it in the morning.
@chris: you would need to think it in a different way. It’s about changing the eating habits and detoxify your body. If you are going to go back to your past diet, then it’s definitely not going to work.
@sasi: As long as it’s organic maple syrup, it should be fine.
What kind of tea should be used??
@Admin
Thanks! I read that you can also eat organic vegetables or am I wrong?

What raw vegetables are OK to eat during the Master Cleanse?

i would like to know can you wear a suna suit to sweat let me know
i bought the husk and wheat grass do i tke it as said on the bottle or do i take it once a day
are you there admin and can you answer these questions
Hi Everyone,
I have been reading all of the comments about the Lemonade Diet because I am interested in doing some serious detoxifying. I see that Geraldine has been on the Lemonade Diet a week and has lost 12 pounds. How is everyone else doing so far.
I need to know, can you get a laxative tea anywhere? does it matter on the flavor? Also, the water. I know it cannot be bottled purified water, but I do not have a filter system so do they sell distilled water in stores? and where? Also, do I drink the tea before bed at night and is it fine to take the Sea salt mixture before the tea and at night?
To all of the questions above. I have done this cleanse twice, two 10 day intervals. It is important to follow the diet according to the instructions for you to get the full effects or affects. Do not eat food with it. You are giving your digestive tract a break so that it can heal itself. Yes it is hard not to eat the first couple of days but you can do it. By the third day you will not feel hungry. Your energy level and smell are extremely heightned. Good luck to all of you
My friend has finished this cleanse with much success, her gma too! I am on Day 1 & know it will work for me. It’s just tough to not eat for 10 whole days…yikes! btw my friend lost 17 lbs (& she is a small girl) & said she felt the best ever when she finished the cleanse. Her gma did this cleanse for 20 days (Heard she was fine but Im not recommending this) and lost more than 30 lbs….WOW!!! Good luck to everyone!
@jennifer
to distill water,
You can use almost anything that holds water for a boiler, as long as you can direct the steam into a cooler. A cooler can be a long piece of copper tubing bent into a spiral. All you need is something that will just cool the steam down. In a worst case scenario, you can distill water with an ordinary household pot and two pot lids. Boil water in a pot covered with the first lid. After a while, you’ll see that the water in the pot vaporizes, and condenses on the lid (this is distilled water). Now replace the lid with the second lid, and turn the first one vertically, so that all condensed water collects at one point, and then pour it into a cup. Meanwhile, more distilled water condenses on the second pot lid, so just repeat the above steps again… until you have a full cup.
Distillation will remove from water almost anything, even heavy metals, poisons, bacteria and viruses. However, it does not remove substances that have boiling points at a lower temperature than water. Some of these substances are oils, petroleum, alcohol and similar substances, which in most cases don’t mix with water. Also, remember that substances removed from water remain in the boiler, so you’ll need to clean it up every once in awhile.

kinda “time consuming” but it’s pretty easy to do!
I have done the master cleanse diet one to two times a year for the last @ 15 years. It is awesome and you have to follow it!! Use fresh fruit (lemmons and can add some limes too)… USE grade B syrup. It has much better vitamin content (and you can also substitute 50% organic agave syrup for faster results). Do the salt water in the morning to “keep your plumbing working”. At the end, drink fresh squeezed oj for a day then light salads and grilled chicken.. to break your system in again… you can lose 10-15 pounds in a ten to 15 day period and according to nutritionists, doctors etc it is fine. You will have better skin and less bulk if you do it and follow direction. If you want to cheat – dont waste your time doing this just resolve that you want to be fat and unhealthy and are only cheating yourself.
What a bunch of crap. Anyone will take the so-called ‘easy’ way out. Of course you’re gonna lose a lot of weight if you starve yourself for a week. Then once you eat again, you’ll gain it right back. Fad diets do not work and can be very dangerous.
Ok Admin, you can delete this now since it doesn’t agree with what others day.
I have tried the cleanse with the pepper, but i cannot tolerate it. I have even tried gradually adding it in, but it burns around my mouth. I know you don’t recommend the pills, but it is the only way I can do the cleanse. Do you have another recommendation
@Frank: well.. why don’t you try starving yourself for 3 days and see whether it works or not? and a month later, try it with Master Cleanse? And see for yourself what works and what don’t?
I started this 4 days ago. Today is day 5. Have lost 3 lbs. 2 of them in the first day. I have extreme crampimg (very painfull) using the laxative tea. Isn’t there something wrong with that? What can I do about the cramping? I don’t think I can take it anymore.
Why is my weight loss so slow? 1/2 a lb a day other than the 1st day.
I was also wondering if we should strain the pulp from the lemon juice?
Oh boy! and on that fascinating note I proudly embark on this journey for myself tomorrow!
I think it will be just fine, though I am admittedly a little bit worried that I may be hungry, though many people report that they are actually satisfied. I guess it means more to me to clean things out well so that I can rebuild whats in this body of mine. I look forward to feeling better. I guess we will see then. Here I go…
