The Lemonade Diet
The Lemonade Diet (also known as the Master Cleanse, Master
Cleanser, Maple Syrup Diet, Lemonade Cleanse, Lemon Diet,
Lemon Cleanse, and the Beyonce Diet) was created by Stanley
Burroughs in 1941 and later popularized by Peter Glickman
in his 2004 book, Lose
Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days
(2nd edition published 2005). Many people, such as Robin
Quivers and Beyonce have lost significant weight,
although that is not the aim of the cleanse.

"In my environmental medicine practice, I attempt
to identify toxic elements, physical and spiritual. Then
I can help the patient avoid, protect against or detoxify
them. I follow that with nutrition to promote as much
additional healing as possible. In detoxification, my
goal is always to use what works without further harming
the patient and I use many, many things.
"The Lemonade Diet is simple and combines &
surpasses many other detox methods. It literally has been
a God-send to my practice. I am grateful to Peter for
seeing, loving, and promoting the values of this cleanse."
James F. Coy, M.D.,
Past President, American Academy of Environmental Medicine |

Detoxification
Detoxification means eliminating toxins (poisons) from the body.
These can be external poisons, such as arsenic; chemicals which cause
cancer; or body wastes that, if not eliminated, cause illness, such
as gout. A toxin doesn't have to kill you to make you tired, miserable,
unhappy, and jittery.
Most people think detoxification is a one step process. They have
toxins and then they don't — one step. This isn't true. It is
a two step process. First the toxins are mobilized from where there
are stored in the body, usually fat cells. When mobilized, an individual
may mildly re-experience the effect of the toxins, such as tiredness,
irritability, aches, or mental fogginess. Then the toxins are eliminated.
So, the faster the body eliminates the toxins, the less unpleasant
is the cleanse.
Therefore, in addition to the lemonade, two other things are consumed to help
eliminate toxins quickly from the body. One is a cup of herbal laxative tea
each evening and the other is the Salt Water Flush (a quart of water with 2
teaspoons of sea salt) drunk each morning, which washes the complete digestive
and elimination track. A second cup of herbal laxative tea can be substituted
for the morning Salt Water Flush, if desired.
It is essential to go off of the cleanse slowly or severe nausea and/or pain
may occur for some hours. Probiotics should be taken after the return to a regular
diet as the good bacteria that manufacture several vitamins may have been cleansed
along with the toxins.

"I feel GREAT. The Lemonade Diet fast is
wonderful. If you follow the instructions in Lose
Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days,
you will succeed in improving your outlook, your health,
and your body.
"The first 3 or 4 days can be difficult,
but when you learn that toxins are leaving your body,
you realize that this will not last. Indeed, for me,
the next 6 days were increasingly better and I ended,
9 pounds and 1 size smaller, feeling energy that I had
not had for several years.
"Keeping to the routine is important and
makes the cleanse easier to follow. I found the salt
water drink difficult, until I started putting the salt
in the measured water the night before. This allowed
it to dissolve more thoroughly. Then I heated the solution
slightly, and was able to drink it easily.
I recommend Lose Weight, Have More Energy
& Be Happier in 10 Days, and Peter's
web site for information, answers,
and support."

before and after her 10 day Lemonade Diet

"I got well!!!! I had been sick all
summer with rhinitis [runny nose allergy]. The 10 day
Lemonade Diet totally got rid of the runny nose, headaches,
chest and sinus congestion.
"This was amazing to me because I use
the green products, eat raw, exercise, don't stay stressed
out and rest well. I just couldn't get better.
"Surprise benefits are my energy and depression
have lifted too! I've been recommending it to all my
friends."

Altered Variations of the Lemonade Diet
The original, time-tested Lemonade Diet has produced
great results for more than half a century. Unfortunately,
several people promote alterations of it. The problem with
these variations is that they are usually done without knowing
why the original ingredients work. For example, much of
the power of the Lemonade Diet comes from the fact that
it is a juice fast. Fasting has been used for thousands
of years to rejuvenate the body and temporarily strengthen
the mind and spirit. It is still widely used in Europe and
Russia.
Not everyone understands this. So, others
have added shakes, protein powder, cayenne pepper capsules
(the gelatin in the capsules is boiled hooves, tendons and
sinews.) etc. Since the whole idea of the Lemonade Diet
is give the digestive system a 10-day vacation, which is
like pressing a "reset button" for the body, adding
things that have to be digested in a misguided attempt to
"improve the cleanse", just reduces the fasting
effect and weakens the results of the "diet".
Other variations are simply mistakes.
The New York Daily News printed the lemonade recipe
and got it wrong. They said each drink was made with a quart
of water. That's 4 times the amount of water that is supposed
to be in each drink! Doing the required minimum 6 drinks
a day would become ridiculous. (A letter to the editor to
correct this went ignored.) Another popular ebook selling
only on the Internet has the recipe wrong and tells people
they can have something beside the lemonade, salt water
and laxative tea.
It's not that a variation won't give you results.
It's just that your best chance of getting great
results is to do what has already worked for tens of thousands
of people for more than 50 years.

"I have done the Lemonade Diet
using Peter's
free Internet Forum, twice. I finally
bought Lose Weight, Have More Energy &
Be Happier in 10 Days and am glad I did.
I bought it because I wanted to share this
fabulous experience with others. I am sure
it will be out of my hands soon.
"The best thing, apart from how great
you feel, is being able to give up thinking about food.
This left my time free for many other activities that
I had only longed to do. The diet is a great inspirational
tool for anyone who feels that there is always too much
to do.
"Thanks, Peter, for all your consistently
good advice."

More About the Lemonade Diet
As explained by Burroughs, the Lemonade Diet is a detoxification
program to cleanse the body of toxins, which helps to remove
the cravings associated with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and
eating junk food.As he wrote, "Coffee, tea, and various
cola drinks, as habit-forming beverages, also lose their
appeal through the marvels of the lemonade diet."
The lemonade is made from fresh lemon or lime juice,
organic Grade B maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper. No solid food
can be eaten during the cleanse.
The Lemonade Diet should be done for a minimum of ten
days, but it is not uncommon for people to stay on the cleanse
for longer periods of time, even as long as 45 days. A good
indicator of when you should end the cleanse is when the
fuzzy coating on the tongue that appears in the early days
of the cleanse is clear and pink in the morning. This is
a good indicator that your body has eliminated the currently
available toxins.
"I read Lose Weight, Have More Energy
& Be Happier in 10 Days and did the cleanse
with great success! As I did the cleanse, I already
knew what to expect because it was covered so well in
the book. Knowing about the detox symptoms and why I
would feel good one day and bad the next, kept me going.
Knowing which days were likely to be the worst was invaluable!
"I probably would have given up on the
cleanse, but reading other people's reactions as they
went through the cleanse day-by-day kept me on track.
I'm so glad Peter put those in his book. I also bought
and read The Lemonade Dietr by Stanley Burroughs
and am glad I read Peter's book also.
"Burroughs' book didn't mention the five
classes of detox symptoms, which days are usually the
worst, or have answers to the numerous questions I and
others had. I was impressed that Peter kept the actual
procedure of the Lemonade Diet/Master Cleanse exactly
as Stanley Burroughs wrote it and gave full credit to
Stanley Burroughs. It's nice to see
someone that caring and honest.
"Burroughs book was the first, but I liked
the simplicity and reading ease of Peter's book."

Diabetics
People who have not read all the works of
Stanley Burroughs may not know he had special directions
for diabetics. So, they invent variations, such as using
agave nectar rather than the molasses or maple syrup of
the original. However, Burroughs actually had special instructions
for diabetics. His original instructions were edited out
of the current copy of The Master Cleanser, but
can be found in
this issue of Peter Glickman's newsletter on
the Lemonade Diet.
