The lemon juice detox isn't right for everyone, but it was certainly right for me. Not only have I now lost 33lbs in weight, I have regained my energy and I no longer seem susceptible to every cold and flu bug that passes my way. I feel healthier, happier and really pleased that I decided to give this a go - after much aprehension.
I found when I first did my research that there were many conflicting opinions on the detox and even more conflicting recipes. So I'd like to set the record straight on the recipe first. The correct recipe for the Lemon Juice Detox is;
* 8 fl oz's Purest Spring Water
* 2 TBL Spns Fresh Lemon Juice - use organic if you compress the skins
* 2 Tbl Spns of Pure Maple Syrup - Grade B
* One Tenth of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
You're done, there is nothing else that you need to add to this mix - regardless of what you might hear. You don't need to invest in special palm oils or ingredients, just use what I have given you above.
For FIFTY years, this has been the recipe of choice and it's based on the Master Cleanse by Stanley Burroughs. Although you might be inclined to tweak it and try other versions, I would encourage you to give this tried and tested version a go as it has proven results.
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.
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.
I remember that around day 4 I was suffering some awful headaches and this is common, but even then I focused on my health and weightloss and got through it.
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.
Good luck with your own personal journey with the detox, I'm sure it will be something you'll be glad you did. - 33373
