How Does The Lemonade Detox Work?

This diet is also very well known as the Master Cleanse diet, the Lemon Cleanse diet, the Lemon Diet and the lemonsMaple Syrup diet.  There are many other detox recipes using these ingredients that I’ll talk about further in upcoming posts.

This is a detox diet and is supposed to rid the body of all toxic elements. The duration of such a liquid diet should not be extended beyond five days without proper medical supervision.  This is because  nutrients are not being ingested and the individual in detox can experience serious deficiencies, primarily of protein, vitamins and minerals.

Liquid Fast = No Solid Food!

Since this is a classic liquid fast, no solid food is ingested for the term of the diet!  The digestive tract stresses out because of this; returning to solid food is almost certain to lead to constipation and a stomach ache.

This lemonade detox is also being used as a crash diet for fast weight loss. It is said to be the crash diet of choice for many celebrities and was also featured in popular TV series, such as “The Office”.

Since this liquid fast means you are eating nothing, chances are that you will lose weight. The lemon diet is supposed to take ten days for weight loss.   Under medical scrutiny, people have sustained on it for a month and a half!  (Don’t do that!)

One thing is for sure, you will get cleansed, because you ingest nothing and your body can get rid of all toxic material stored.

How To Detox Your Body and Stay Healthy

A Healthy Detox is a Successful Detox

Detox diets are nutritional plans which are devised to help detoxify the body of ingested or inhaled toxins.

One of the best ways to find out which elements are toxic for your body is to do a food tolerance and allergy test. Eliminating these from your diet will do basically what a long term detox diet would do, or what a vegan diet is supposed to do.

If you are looking for a short term detox diet, then there are plenty to choose from.  Cleansing your body should not be done without a prior doctor’s visit.  A healthy detox is pretty restrictive and  nutritional deficiencies are bad consequences.  Your medical professional should make sure that the diet does not introduce harmful side effects.

How To Detox

Detoxing the body can be done with a lemonade diet, with the lemon diet, with a fruit diet, with a fruits and vegetables diet, depending on the degree of detox, the duration and the desired effect. Any liquid diet can be viewed as a detox diet, as long as the liquid is no soft drink and no alcoholic beverage or similar. Fruit juices can be used, or vegetable juices, to detox the body, whereby all the aforementioned diets should not last beyond five days without thorough medical supervision
