Lemon Juice Detox – Important Facts and Correct Recipe

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 TBL Spns Fresh Lemon Juice – use organic if you compress the skins
*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 have my own personal favourite and I call it the Lemon Detox, this is what I based my blog on because I think it sums it up quite well. All of the versions are similar although the one I do is pretty much the master cleanse and I would encourage you to do this one. It’s been tested and it makes you feel fantastic.
If anyone tells you the detox is easy, then they are probably lying or selling something. It isn’t easy but it is rewarding, if you stay on the staright and narrow. There are aspects of the detox that I really didn’t like – I could have cared less for the laxtive tea and the salt water flush was an experience that I wouldn’t describe as ‘pleasant’ but the end result was what I had my focus on. The right mindeset makes all the difference to your overall success. The detox is for people who want fast but long lasting results.
You may also notice around day 3-4 the onslaught of some tough headaches – not pleasant but a good sign that your body is eliminating toxins and that your hard work is paying off.
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!
So, will it be right for you? Well, I’d always suggest you check that you’re fit to go ahead with your GP before embarking on it and as long and he or she says yes, then go for it! Many GPs actively support and encourage the master cleanse and it’s many benefits are well documented, including the lowering of high blood pressure.
This time in seven days, you too could have dropped a ton of weight and also feel absolutely fantastic!
