Things You Need to Know About the Lemon Juice Detox Recipe
21 11 2009
The Lemon Juice Detox was absolutely the right thing for me, but it isn’t right for everybody. I have got my energy back, am no longer picking up every bug that comes my way and I’ve lost a whopping 33lb too. I’m so glad I decided to give the Lemon juice detox a go because I feel happier and healthier than I’ve felt in years.
There are many conflicting opinions on the detox, one of the main ones that my research showed me was the ton of differing recipes out there. So let’s start by looking at the recipe I used, this is the tried and tested original recipe;
* 8 Fluid Ounces of Spring Water
* 2 Table Spoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (does not need to be organic unless your juicer compresses the skins too)
*2 Table Spoons Grade B Maple Syrup
* Cayenne Pepper – Only 1/10th of a Tspn
You don’t need anything but this, no exclusive or secret ingredients will make this better, this is the recipe that works, so don’t be fooled by expensive imitations.
The Lemon Juice Detox is based on the original Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs and although there are tweaks and changes that people have made, I would suggest that you stick to the Master Cleanse version as this is the one that has been tried, tested and proven to work for over FIFTY years!
To help you filter out any confusion about this and version of the detox diet, let me give you some of the names thrown about that are all fundamentally based on the original Master Cleanse, I’m sure you’ve heard of some of the following; the Lemon Detox Diet, the Maple Syrup Diet (made famous by Beyonce), Lemonade Diet, Cayenne Pepper Diet, Lemon Juice Detox and Lemon Detox.
I call it the Lemon Juice Detox or the Lemon Detox, you spend so much time around lemons that it seems quite fitting! All of them are based on the tried and tested Master Cleanse and the Lemon Detox I do is exactly the same, it’s tried and tested and it’ll make you feel better than you have felt in years.
You should be aware that it’s not a walk in the park, and anyone that tells you it’s a breeze is probably trying to sell you something. The fact is – it’s hard when you first start it and parts of it, like the Salt Water Flush (in the version I do) is quite vile but you have to weigh up the pro’s against the cons. Also, you do get used to the salt water flush and after a few days of your body adapting, you start to feel amazing. However, I can fully appreciate why some people don’t make it past day 1 or feel rubbish and give up by day 3.
The detox can bring on some nasty headaches around days three and four but it’s a good sign that your body is in full detox and on the cusp of eliminating all those awful toxins.
So – what’s the good news then? Well, by day 4-5 you will start to feel amazing. Your body is now in full detox and eliminating all of the poisons you’ve ben carrying around and building up. You’ll feel moments of complete peace and elation, it really is quite unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I planned to do seven days on my first detox, this rose to ten and I finally finished on day nineteen!
What happens now? well, I would always recommend that you check out with a health professional that you’re good to go. There are many, many health professionals supporting the detox and it’s proven results of lowered blood pressure.
This time in seven days, you too could have dropped a ton of weight and also feel absolutely fantastic!
