Losing Weight With the Lemonade Diet

The lemonade diet is a fast way to lose weight to get ready to be on the beach in a swimsuit. Beyonce lost 20 pounds in 10 days using it. The trick to it is that you are not consuming anything else except for the lemonade. This was written April 2011.

Unlike a fast, you can go do it with a regular lifestyle where you are working a demanding job. Some people do it for 30 days but it is more common for it to be done for 10 days or for 3 to 5 days for losing weight. The lemonade diet is healthy for you since you avoid all other food.

They have a salt water flush that is done with it but I recommend against using since it is not healthy and dangerous. Also it is not needed. It is to cleanse the colon but the colon will cleanse itself. Or you can take an enema which is much safer, if you want. Also the salt water flush can cause the diet to not work since your body may take in some of the salt.

Then they will also use different teas which are fine to drink. There is nothing magical about the lemonade diet. The secret is that you are not eating any other food. Also since it has no salt in it the body can get rid of its excess salt and lose water weight. That is how people can lose weight so fast.

After this lemonade diet or master cleanse, it is up to you to eat healthier foods so you do not gain the weight back again. Here is the lemonade diet recipe or the way that you make it. Try to use distilled, purified or deionized water since these are pure water. It is better, but not essential, to get organically grown lemons or limes.

Put 2 tablespoons or 1 fluid ounce of fresh squeezed lemon or lime in an 8 fluid ounce glass of water. Add 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup. Add 1/10th teaspoon of cayenne pepper. This pepper is hot so if it is too hot then use less.

The cayenne pepper is very good for circulation, heart health and cardiovascular health but the diet will still work without it. Again there is nothing magic about these ingredients. The magic is that you are not eating anything. You can make a quart of this lemonade or limeade by just multiplying the above by 4 and then you can refrigerate it. This formula was originally developed for health not for weight loss.
