The Master cleanse has been around for ages; though the recent buzz surrounding it can be attributed to celebrities like Beyonce. It is believed that the talented singer goes on the cleanse to prepare herself for the tours.
What is the Master Cleanse and why should everyone be doing it?
The Master cleanse is the lemonade only diet. It was developed by Stanley Burroughs who tried it and cured several ailments within a matter of days. What is even special about this is these ailments were deemed incurable and ‘inevitable chronic issues’ by conventional medicine. The reason why everyone should opt for the Master Cleanse is the fact that we lead very toxic lives and our food, air and water are loaded with toxins. Even our local tap water is chlorinated which, we believe is good for us, but is on the contrary quite bad.
Today the Master Cleanse is popular since it has helped people rid the years of undigested toxic food and given them better health without surgery or invasive remedies.
Benefits of Lemonade Diet
The Master Cleanse or the lemonade diet is not easy but those who follow it believe that it can detoxify and flush the body off years of toxins. It has helped many suffering from several diseases and is ideal for the following categories of people:
- Those having years of chronic health issues
- Those who wish to rest their intestines and give their digestive system some rest
- Those who wish to rebuild body tissue.
Things to Note before doing the Master Cleanse

- Do talk to your doctor if you are taking prescription drugs as to whether you can go on this diet.

You can also drink Herbal decaffeinated teas or laxative teas while on the diet. These optional ingredients are listed for people who are unable to control their hunger pangs while on the diet.
Controlling Hunger and food cravings while doing the Cleanse
Most people are unable to finish the Master Cleanse because they need food and feel very hungry during the diet. However, ingredients like Hoodia Gordonii extracts can help ward off the hunger pangs. This extract is taken from cacti like plants and many people have seen excellent results with it. You must also drink tons of water; nearly the amount of water in ounces as much as you weigh. Thus, if you are 130 pounds, drink at least 130 ounces of water or more.
