Re: Lemonade diet

What is this diet about? Do you drink only Lemonade or something? If so, this is EXTREMELY unhealthy! Tell her to get off of it immediately, whether or not she has lost weight.

Re: Lemonade diet

Re: Lemonade diet

I have never heard about it but it doesn't sound healthy. Maybe as a cleanse but not a diet-I would think it would mess up your body and electrolytes.

Re: Lemonade diet

Its called the Master Clease, it is a cleanse not a diet although you do lose weight on it. I did it many years ago...it works well. I believe there is a web site somewhere on it...

Re: Lemonade diet

If it's for cleansing purposes it may be OK but if you are doing it for weight loss I'm sure you'd gain it right back within a couple of days of going off of it. It's got to be all fluid loss.

It may not kill you now, but you can't tell what the effects will be as you age. It may be ok as a one or two day cleansing detox, but not for a whole week or longer.

It also would be mainly water loss and the odds of regaining the weight would be pretty high.

Re: Lemonade diet

I got interested in this diet and did some googling:
------------------------------------------------

The master cleanse is one of the most powerful ways to rid yourself of excess toxins, and restore your body to perfect health... but almost everyone who tries the master cleanse fails - find out how you can succeed.
The Mater Cleanse or Master Cleanser as it is sometimes called was written by Stanley Burrough, and is about 50 years old.

The power of the master cleanse lies in it's simplicity - you need only replace the food and beverages you typically consume with a lemonade dink that is made from:

Fresh squeezed organic lemons - 2 table spoons per glass
Maple Syrup (Organic Grade B) - 2 table spoons per glass
Cayenne Pepper - to taste
The Master Cleanse also uses herbal laxatives usually in the form of tea and saline wash (sea salt and water).

This detox routine has stood the test of time and there are many testimonials from people who who experienced miraculous results with the Mater Cleanse. You can read the master cleanse reviews on Amazon and see that the majority of the people who read the book found it helpful and in some cases life changing.

Why Most People Don't Make It Past Day 1

Most people say you need stay on the Master Cleanse for about 10 days in order to see any real benefit. So you have to drink nothing but the lemonade, laxative tea, and saline wash for 10 days straight in order to purge the harmful toxins that have built up in your system.

Most people give up within 24 hours. If you are used to eating 3 or more meals a day going from that to just lemonade is next to impossible.The hunger cravings you get while on the Master Cleanse are almost unbearable.

The missing ingredient that will Eliminate Hunger and let you complete the entire Master Cleanse

For more than a 1,000 years the San people of the Kalahari desert in South Africa have been using the extract of a little know plant called Hoodia Gordonii to fight off the pain of hunger they must endure as part of every day life. For the San people hunger and starvation is something they must endure everyday - for them it's not optional.

But with the help of the Hoodia Plant which grows almost exclusively in that region they are able to erase the hunger caused by lack of food and water.

That same hoodia plant used by the San People can also be used by you to Complete the Entire Master Cleanse.

Hoodia is an all natural plant extract with no side effects, and as long as you stick with a quality brand that doesn't contain any other harmful ingredients it's the perfect match for the Master Cleanse.

Hoodia can be bought in capsules or liquid form. For use with the Master Cleanse the liquid hoodia would be the best choice. Simply add a few drops to your lemonade and most people's cravings for food will cease within a couple minuets.

Re: Lemonade diet

I did a quick search on the Master Cleanse, and found this telling little blurb:

"Disclaimer & A Word of Caution: This is a cleanse, it is NOT to lose weight, although I did lose weight during the cleanse. If you want to lose weight FAST and not count calories or watch your portions try food combining or the Perricone Prescription Diet. "

Re: Lemonade diet

Hummm, definitely not for me. I'd be one of the failures that they talk about. I'm sticking with South Beach.

if you want to lose weight... i think you should add green tea to your diet...most of my friends who drink of a lot green tea are extremely skinny but that is also because they vey fast metabolisms too...I started to drink green tea with lemon and honey. I started to notice that i was losing weight. So, I immediately switched back to black tea. If you add just plain old
