The Master Cleanse also known as the Lemonade Diet is a complete body detox diet if you will, that has been brought into the lime light by Peter Glickmans book Lose Weight, Have More Energy which is first new book since Stanley Burroughs released The Master Cleanser decades ago. The most successful of any diet, or detox of its kind known for more than just a liver detox diet but as a full body cleanse. More recently quite a few celebrities have made well known this once quite little yellow book. Gwyneth Paltrow, Vince Vaughn, and Toby Mcguire are the most recent celebs to join the list but brought on by Beyonce Knowles, Robin Quivers, and Isaac Hayes originally. The lemon detox diet as it is called now, was first used to treat ulcers and Later discovered to be a successful treatment of many other diseases, even better a trend emerged that the Master Cleanse was a disease preventative tool, and a contributor to maintaining overall good health. I want to help you regain your vibrant good health and think this is a great easy and low cost way to do it.

@F430Fill See my reply to Jahkillian below this. The body stops using muscle for blood sugar within 2 or 3 days. You can confirm that in medical texts on fasting, such as “Fasting and Eating for Health” by Joel Fuhrman, MD or “Fasting” by Alan Carr, MD.
@Jahkillian The body does not need protein every day. People who fast for 40 days or more have no problem. Muscle loss? After 2 days or women and 3 days for men the body stops burning muscle for blood sugar and begins to burn fat. So, it’s only about 2 pounds. Underweight people usually stop losing weight at that point.
@andrews23451 Like anything else in the Master Cleanse for best results follow directions. Drink fresh orange juice.
@kalliski1 Ask the prescribing doctor whether you can do the cleanse if you don’t eat.. Some medicines require food. Other than that, many people do the Master Cleanse while taking prescription drugs and get great results. By the way, if these are psychiatric drugs, you should visit TheRoadBack (dot) org. This site has instructions for safely getting off such.
@thinkpink1985 Jogging, running, walking, any aerobic exercise is great and you’ll find that (except for detox days) you’ll have more energy and can do more. However, bodybuilding and weights are counterproductive because you don’t have protein to build muscles. Do the bodybuilding after the cleanse.
do you have to take the cayenne pepper??

Scientists discovered that the human stomach has difficulty absorbing the calories from RAW fruits and vegetables, thats why he lost so much weight. They found that cooked veg yields double the calories of raw. The reason we evolved our calorie hungry big brains is a result of discovering fire and therefore cooking.
The same is true for raw meat.
PETER: I’m having medical tests, including blood & urine samples, to determine my eligibility for a certain type of medical insurance on my 9th day of the current cleanse that I’m on. Will the cleanse produce any strange readings that could hurt my chances? Should I go back to regular eating a few days before my test and then do the full 10 days of the Master Cleanse later on so that my readings won’t be abnormal in any way? I need answers quickly, as this is coming up soon. Thank you!
What you didnt mention is that it benefits musle gain in the long run.
Wow, the reason you lost 22 pounds is because you were’t getting enough protein, so your body went to your muscles and started breaking them down. Muscle is much heavier than fat. So in the end, this is a very bad thing.
There was one man who followed it for 375 days for a religious observance. Longest known I believe.
Excellent explanation, it’s exactly the kind of education the average joe needs and the fast food share holders don’t want us knowing.
Where do you get your protein from? Do you lose muscle and how much?
Youre GREAT! IM on day 3! feeling GREAT!
im so excited to eat raw!
after finishing the MC do you have to drink fresh orange juice or it can be any orange juice ????????
This is a very good explaination. Thank you!
Please help. Will the fact that i’m on prescription pills affect the cleanse in any way?
Is it ok to exercise during the 10 days?
What is the longest master cleanse you have heard of?
You’re in complete control on how much weight will come back. Eat a raw fruit, vegetable, seeds & nuts diet & you will continue to lose weight or stay the same. Eat junk food & you will put the weight back on. It’s the toxins (artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, & sweeteners) & the overeating that put on the weight. The body stores toxins mainly in fat cells. More toxins = more fat cells. Detoxify & lose weight. It’s really that simple unless another medical condition exists.
Stick with the instructions as developed by Stanley Burroughs. They produce the best results for most people. So, forget Metamucil. Laxative tea can be found in any health food store, not grocery store.
And you’re welcome on the videos. I’m glad they were of help.
Bright red blood in eliminations is usually from hemorrhoids. If it were from the colon, it would be dark black.
It is possible your hemorrhoids were aggravated by the detoxification. I have a friend who had his hemorrhoids act up on the Master Cleanse (only other person I know of) and they went away after two or three days and never came back.
