The Lemon Juice Detox was absolutely the right thing for me, but it isn't right for everybody. I have got my energy back, am no longer picking up every bug that comes my way and I've lost a whopping 33lb too. I'm so glad I decided to give the Lemon juice detox a go because I feel happier and healthier than I've felt in years.
I didn't go into it lightly and my research showed that there were many differeing views about the detox and a wide range of varying recipes and rules. I'll start by sharing the recipe that got me the best results and this is the original recipe with no tweaks;
* 8 fl oz's Purest Spring Water
* 2 Table Spoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (does not need to be organic unless your juicer compresses the skins too)
* 2 Tbl Spns of Pure Maple Syrup - Grade B
* 1/10th Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
You're done, there is nothing else that you need to add to this mix - regardless of what you might hear. You don't need to invest in special palm oils or ingredients, just use what I have given you above.
Stanley Burroughs wrote the original Master Cleanse over Fifty Years ago and it's been tested and proven to work by thousands of people. The Lemon Juice detox is based fully on this and I would encourage you to follow it as closely to this as possible.
To help you filter out any confusion about this and version of the detox diet, let me give you some of the names thrown about that are all fundamentally based on the original Master Cleanse, I'm sure you've heard of some of the following; the Lemon Detox Diet, the Maple Syrup Diet (made famous by Beyonce), Lemonade Diet, Cayenne Pepper Diet, Lemon Juice Detox and Lemon Detox.
I have my own personal favourite and I call it the Lemon Detox, this is what I based my blog on because I think it sums it up quite well. All of the versions are similar although the one I do is pretty much the master cleanse and I would encourage you to do this one. It's been tested and it makes you feel fantastic.
If anyone tells you the detox is easy, then they are probably lying or selling something. It isn't easy but it is rewarding, if you stay on the staright and narrow. There are aspects of the detox that I really didn't like - I could have cared less for the laxtive tea and the salt water flush was an experience that I wouldn't describe as 'pleasant' but the end result was what I had my focus on. The right mindeset makes all the difference to your overall success. The detox is for people who want fast but long lasting results.
I remember that around day 4 I was suffering some awful headaches and this is common, but even then I focused on my health and weightloss and got through it.
So - what's the good news then? Well, by day 4-5 you will start to feel amazing. Your body is now in full detox and eliminating all of the poisons you've ben carrying around and building up. You'll feel moments of complete peace and elation, it really is quite unlike anything I've ever experienced. I planned to do seven days on my first detox, this rose to ten and I finally finished on day nineteen!
So, will it be right for you? Well, I'd always suggest you check that you're fit to go ahead with your GP before embarking on it and as long and he or she says yes, then go for it! Many GPs actively support and encourage the master cleanse and it's many benefits are well documented, including the lowering of high blood pressure.
This time in seven days, you too could have dropped a ton of weight and also feel absolutely fantastic! - 31816
