Are you curious about the lemon juice detox? The superior lemonade cleanse recipe of lemon, cayene pepper, maple syrup is one of the finest ways of cleansing your system and ridding yourself of uwanted weight. 

Toxins, Toxins, Toxins

Our modern diet consists of food which contains a considerable amount of chemicals and toxins. Preservatives are chock full in canned goods and you can find harmful toxins in various food groups. The water in your home could be impure and cotain chemicals and lead. 

To detoxify our bodies, we have several ways of fasting. The most common and least desirable is a strict water only diet. Dieters find this far too harsh and quit after a day or so. A milder version is the lemon juice detox diet. This is a popular diet amongst celebrities and fitness gurus. 

The Tried and True Master Cleanse

The original lemonade cleanse, more properly known as the master cleanse, was first introduced over 60 years ago by Stanley Burroughs. Peter Glickman introduced it again to a mainstream audience in his book “Lose Weight, Have More Energy, and Be Happier in 10 Days”. He made some minor changesfor a modern audience. 
The lemon juice detox consists of drinking the salt water flush first thing in the morning, then a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper for the remainder of the day. A laxative tea is often drank at night to help mobilize things along. 
The Diet

Making the recipe is very easy to do. Follow this recipe:

1. Drink 32 ounces of sea salt mixed with water every morning. Realize that you cannot eat for the next 7 to 10 days in order for the diet to be effective.

2. Mix a small amount of cayenne pepper with lemon juice, Grade B maple syrup, and filtered water to drink in place of your normal lunch schedule. If you have an urge to chew something, ice is a wonderful substitute.

3. For dinner, drink a laxative tea or another natural laxative such as psyllium husk. It is better to drink this before going to bed.

The lemon juice diet takes committment. The first two days will be the hardestto overcome because of the hunger. But once you can get past that, you will begin to see immediate results. 

So, what are you watiing for? Get rid of that unwanted weight and toxins for good, restore your youthful vigor, flat stomach and add years to your life with the Cayenne Pepper Diet!

Detoxifying Diet and the Disadvantages Of Eating Meat


There are a lot of reasons not to include red meats in a detoxifying diet. These reasons range from a chance of binding up elimination (constipation) to chances of colon cancer.

Much more energy is required to digest and assimilate meat than other foods. Meat is known as a “supressing food”; a person who eats meat heavily may have very limited elimination. 

It can also promote putrefying and unfriendly bacteria formed due to the alkalinity in the gut. When meat proteins reach the colon in an undigested form, they will putrefy, the result is a release of toxins into the colon. Reserach has indicated that meat protein causes putrefaction twice as fast as vegetable protein. This is counter-productive when observing a detoxifying diet. 

Fruits and vegetables have protective properties against cancer; people who eat a lot of meat often don’t consume enough fruit and vegetables, which results in those protective properties being underdeveloped. Eating too much meat causes excessive uric acid, possible leading to gallstones, gout, and kidney stones. This is a major concern with non-organic meats. Meat is easily contaminated by bacteria and also tocins such as herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, various hormones, adrenalin, phenolic acid, uric acid, urea, chemicals and pestisides. 

Our modern methods of meat production is designed to raise cattle, pigs, chicken and sheep in an intesive process in order to maximize profits. Farming like this is highly mechanized and animals are frequently given antibiotics and other disease fighitng medicine. This results in cheap meat but this meat tends to be deficient in nutrients and full of chemicals. 

The process of rearing meat, preserving it and making it look fresh for market can produce a product that is high in chemicals, toxins and low in nutrients. When you are detoxing, it’s best to limit the consumption of meat and focus more on fruits and vegetables. When you can, buy organic meat that has been raised hormone and antibiotic free. When you are cleansing with a detoxifying diet, it makes sense to reduce and eliminate the toxins you are consuming.

A common question to ask is “Can I exercise while on the Cayenne Pepper Diet?”

The answer is determined by what kind of exercise you are currently doing. Rigorous training or lifting weights are not the best choice when on the fast. Consider that you will be drinking lemonade for ten days and eating no food. Your body is on a restricted caloric intake and your metabolism will slow down to accommodate that. If you engage in intense exercise you may find yourself feeling faint or shaky. You may feel an overwhelming urge to eat something with carbohydrates to get your blood sugar up.

It’s best to do only light exercise while on the Cayenne Pepper Diet And remember to ‘ease out’ of the diet once you are finished. That would apply to your exercise routines as well.

Ciara Chucks The Cayenne Pepper Diet


Ciara tried to lose weight on the Cayenner Pepper Diet. The singer was following the example set by Beyonce Knowles by going on an all liquid diet of a special mix of lemonade. 

However, the challenge of the diet was too much for Ciara and she was missing out on her favorite meals. 

“I attempted to do this cayenne pepper [diet] thing one time. I could not get past the idea of drinking what that stuffed looked like. 

I attempted to, but I was like, “I just cannot do it,” because I love food too much. It would be so hard to take away physically eating food. 

Drinking a liquid diet would not work for me.”

Beyonce revealed she lost a whopping 20lbs for her role in ‘Dreamgirls’ by following the fast composed of a special lemonade made from lemon juice, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and water. 

Beyonce said at the time:

“I lived on water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 14 days. It was tough – everyone was eating and I was dying.”

The diet promises to detoxify the body and also help in rapid weight loss. 

Since ditching the cayenne pepper diet, Ciara has chosen to focus on eating plenty of vegetables and protein meals. 

The 23-year old star explained to OK! magazine:

“I change my eating schedule by getting rid of bad carbohydrates and replacing them with complex carbohydrates, 

like brown rice, wheat toast and wheat pasta noodles. I make sure it’s more protein-driven. Like grilled chicken, 

steak and fish. I also like to do greens to get fiber – broccoli, string beans, salad and lettuce – and to help cleanse your body. 

I do five or six meals when I’m eating healthy. And I drink tons of water”
