Lemonade Diet…How it all started.

Stanley Burroughs

The “Lemonade Diet,” also known as the Master Cleanse, was created by Mr. Stanley Burroughs more than 50 years ago.

The diet was outlined in a book called “The Master Cleanser” which is discussed more on this page.

Mr. Burroughs was originally known to be in the lumber industry but later developed a passion for the alternative health niche and that eventually led him to create the lemonade diet.

Although he would be considered a little radical by some, the lemonade diet has literally stood the test of time and has been used by millions of people around the world to cleanse, detox, and lose weight fast.

Over the years, the lemonade diet has been written about in several books and diet programs. In the 1990′s, it was heavily promoted by Peter Glickman who is still promoting it today via sites like TheRawFoodSite.com

Lemonade Diet – Basic Ingredients

The lemonade diet is very popular because it’s rather simple and easy to make. The diet has four basic ingrediets.

• Filtered Water
• Fresh Lemons
• Cayenne Pepper
• Grade B Maple Syrup

These ingredients can be mixed into a single serving or made by the gallon.  The lemonade mixture is normally consumed without food for a period of 10 days.

During this time, the body is believed to release unwanted toxins, while also dropping pounds and inches.  The weight loss with the lemonade diet is known to be quite rapid and it has been used by many celebrities who wanted to lose weight quickly.

Does the Lemonade Diet Work

As with any weight loss plan, the lemonade diet takes a little bit of dedication and commitment. Without that, you are probably not going to see results.  However, if you are able to see it through the 10 days, you will most likely see substantial weight loss.

Here are just a few celebrities that have lost weight using the lemonade diet plan…

Lemonade Diet Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I have to use filtered water?
A. One of the key purposes of the lemonade diet is to help rid your body of toxins via detoxing and cleansing. Filtered water is an important part of that because most tap water contains an excessive amount of chemicals.  The same is true for most bottled water as well since it does not all come from fresh springs as some manufacturers claim.

Q. Can I use any kind of table syrup that I have at home?
A. The lemonade diet is designed to use Grade B maple syrup.  It is prepared differently and is generally not infused with unhealthy sugars like standard pancake syrup.

Q. Must I use powdered cayenne pepper?
A. Most people use powdered cayenne pepper but some prefer some type of liquid cayenne pepper. The key is to check the ingredients and make sure that it is natural and not filled with unwanted additives.

The lemonade diet is a great way to get a jumpstart on losing weight fast.  If you are preparing for an upcoming wedding, class reunion, or some other event, 10 days of the lemonade diet cleanse can help you to drop unwanted pounds and inches fast.

Q. Are there any Lemonade Diet side effects?
A. The lemonade diet is comprised of natural ingredients and the risks of side effects are minimal compared to various diet pills and other weight loss type systems that often contain harsh prescription grade ingredients. There are often reports of headaches and dizziness in the early days as your body is detoxing but they tend to go away after a couple of days. Always speak with your doctor or stop the cleanse if side effects persists.

Since you are using natural ingredients, the lemonade diet is fairly safe to use provided you don’t continually go over the recommended 10 day period.  There are several different lemonade diet kits and books that can help you to get started on your weight loss goals.

Disclaimer: The lemonade diet should be used per the basic instructions and is not meant to exceed 10 consecutive days. Prior to starting any new diet plan, it is recommended that you discuss it with your doctor and always make sure to include some kind of exercise routine.
