What’s The Master Cleanse Diet All About
Have you always wondered how celebrities are able to fatten up and then slim down in no time for roles? Like how Beyonce was able to trim 20 pounds off in order to play her sexy role in the film Dreamgirls? Or how Jared Leto was able to put on 62 pounds for a role in Mark David Chapman and then lose all of that in no time? You may think that it has something to do with the personal chefs and trainers but in this case, it doesnt at all.
I am pretty sure that you know something about the master cleanse diet. If you have not tried it, then probably you are intrigued by it. The master cleanse diet is originally a cleansing diet that was designed by alternative medicine practitioner Stanley Burroughs during the 1940s. Although this diet was created to be a detox diet but now it is more popular for its reducing properties.
What this diet is all about is the simple consumption of lemonade during the entire period of 10 days and nothing else but that. So basically this is a liquid diet. The lemonade that I am talking about is a mixture of fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The maple syrup you may decrease in quantity if you want but do not remove any of the ingredients when making your lemonade. You may have to get used to the taste of cayenne pepper but never take it out.
Before you go all out on the lemonade, you will have to go through an ease in period first.
The ease-in period is a couple of days directly prior the start of the diet which will be used for your body to get ready for what lies ahead. For this particular diet, you will need to trade in heavy meals with lighter ones consisting mainly of fruits and vegetables to prepare you for the days when you will be taking in nothing but lemonade.
After the ease in period you can start with your diet. The average diet period is 10 days but then it can vary for different people. Some may want to diet more and extend it to 12 days.
Every time you feel hungry, all you need to do is to take a sip of your lemonade until the hunger disappears.
You will also need to take in some laxatives while you are going through the lemonade diet. Because of the lack of fiber in your diet you will not be able to move your bowels efficiently.
The laxatives are there to solve that teensy problem for you.
