Lemonade Diet
The Lemonade Diet is a short-term, cleansing treatment and is strictly a cleansing diet rather than a weight loss diet.
Most basically it is 10-days where you fast and drink nothing but the special “lemonade” drink.
One of the best known techniques for cleansing your intestinal and colon walls it is not to be linked with fat loss. Much of the weight lost will be from fluid and water retention and about 1/2 will come back once the diet is finished. The lemonade diet isn’t for the faint-hearted and can be tough to follow with the first few days being the hardest.
People have reported a number of health improvements such as relief from gout and arthritis symptoms.
Typically you can expect the lemonade diet to breakdown and dissolve toxins from the body, purify cells and glands, relieve irritations and pressure in blood vessels, arteries and nerves, cleanse the digestive system and kidneys as well as eliminating waste material in muscles and joints.
Everyone’s body is different, from our DNA and metabolism to our daily diet. These elements will determine how your body will react to the Lemonade Diet.
You are required to drink plenty of water and a minimum of 60 oz of lemonade daily but no eating or drinking other foods. This generates a serious lack of vital nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals creating deficiencies including far less calories than recommended for healthy and optimal body functioning.
Those on the lemonade diet may suffer from have headaches or a variety of other signs following the diet over the short term and the diet can be harmful over the long term. A body in good health is designed to eliminate normal everyday toxins from through the kidney, lungs, liver and other organs. While the diet isn’t meant solely for weight loss, it’s extremely low calories will cause weight loss but, again, you can expect to regain the weight once the diet has ended. Hungarian scientists found the diet is dangerous and extremely dangerous to the peripheral nervous system.
There are variations but a sample lemonade diet will incorporate 12 tablespoons of freshly squeezed organic lemon juice, 12 tablespoons of organic maple syrup and 60 ounces of spring water consumed daily. Spread the water intake over 6 glasses (10 oz.) with 2 tablespoons of both the fresh lemon juice and maple syrup added to each glass. The last ingredient is cayenne pepper (1/20 teaspoon per glass) which can be put into capsules and taken that way if you can’t tolerate the taste.
The last factors are a laxative tea twice daily and a sea salt wash. The laxative tea may be needed because the lack of fiber in the lemonade diet may cause constipation.
Ending the fast must be done gently because your body needs to be eased back into solid food. Soup, particularly vegetable soup, is a good place to start but fruit and vegetable should be put off until the second day out of the juice fast.
Consult your doctor before starting the lemonade diet and don’t repeat more frequently than every 3 months.
