The master cleanse diet is created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. But only in 1976, he published a master cleanse book. In short, the diet only permits you to consume the lemonade mixture for the whole duration of the master cleanse You are required to drink a minimum of 60 oz of lemonade a day and drink plenty of water too. But you are not allowed to eat or drink other foods rather than the lemonade for 10 days.
Do note: there were many changes from the period of time when Stanley Burroughs published the book till today (1976 and 2009). For example, the U.S.D.A. has changed the classification of maple syrup and many websites are giving the wrong information on the type of maple syrup you can buy.
Before you embark on the master cleanse journey
It is advsiable for you to obtain a copy of the master cleanse guide written by Raylen, so you would know exactly what to do and what to expect. Even though the web contains most of the master cleanse instructions, the content in these sites may not be organized and structured as well as these guides. As a result, you may miss out some of the most important information that can help you in the master cleanse.
Below, we have listed down a single serving recipe of the master cleanse diet. Most of the time, you may want to make the lemonade for the whole day otherwise itll be a hassle for you to make the lemonade each time you want to drink it.
You would need to mix the following ingredients together in order to make the lemonade mixture.
1. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2. 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup grade B
3. 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder
4. 10 oz glasses of distilled water (This is around 295ml of water)
Lemon Juice
You would approximately need half a lemon to make 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. If you want to create the lemonade for the whole day, it can only last for 8 hours before it turns bad (even you have put it into the fridge).
Do take note not to use canned lemon juice as the vitamins and nutrients are no longer in the canned lemon. It is essential for your body to absorb the lemon nutrients because you are drinking the lemonade for 10 days.
In our master cleanse survival manual, you would discover how you should you prepare the lemonade exactly in the morning. (You cant add the cayenne pepper in the morning when you prepare the lemonade for the whole day, otherwise it will turn bad within a short while..)
Maple Syrup
When you read all the free information online, the standard instructions are to use organic maple syrup grade B. They would tell you not to use other kinds of syrup as they are not suitable for the master cleanse diet. Usually you can only find the grade B maple syrup in United States only and if you are from other parts of the world, chances are you wont be able to find grade B maple syrup.
BUT, is grade B maple syrup the only suitable grade for master cleanse? In our master cleanse survival manual, you would also discover whether do you really need grade B maple syrup. (It is found out that Stanley Burroughs originally published the Master Cleanse in 1976 when the U.S.D.A. classified maple syrup into 3 different categories. However, now U.S.D.A. has revised its classification )
Cayenne Pepper
Do not underestimate the power of cayenne pepper. It is one of the best healing herbs in the world. The pepper can increase the blood flow in the body, have a rich source of vitamins B & C and can save one from heart attack. We would recommend you to buy the powder form of cayenne pepper.
Most people find it difficult to drink the lemonade with the cayenne pepper in it. If you find it difficult too, heres a tip Put the cayenne pepper powder into empty capsules and when you drink the lemonade and maple syrup, just swallow the capsules. This is more effective than buying cayenne pepper pills that are produced by the pharmaceutical companies.
Your Master Cleanse Checklist
Here are the entire list of stuffs you need for the 10 days master cleanse.

Laxative Herb Tea
Usually one can take the green or peppermint tea but take note that it should not be caffeinated. This is usually taken before the start of the master cleanse and the instruction from the book is to drink it every evening before you go to the bed.
Note: You dont want to drink the laxative tea together with the salt water flush as it would cause diarrhea.
Salt Water Flush Recipe
You would need to prepare a teaspoon of organic sea salt (not iodized salt) with 25 35 oz of warm water. Mix well and do your best to drink the solution in one go. If it is difficult to drink, use normal temperature water then. The purpose of the salt water flush and the laxative tea is to help you in bowel elimination.
It is best to drink the salt water flush before drinking the lemonade in the morning as it is more effective with empty stomach.

Your Master Cleanse Diet FAQ
Here are some commonly asked questions by our subscribers and readers, were certain that youll find them useful!
How much weight can I expect to lose with the Master Cleanse Diet?
While the fundamental aim of the Master Cleanse Diet is to flush toxins from your internal system, we have Master Cleansers who happily reported a loss of 10 pounds off their weight! Youll have to try the diet yourself to experience the health benefits!
Is it fine to use Agave Nectar instead of Maple syrup? (It is organic.)
Though it is organic, it is still inferior to a Grade B maple syrup in terms of nutrition. For the best overall experience and outcome, please stick to the suggest Grade B maple syrup.
Are there any substitutes for the cayenne pepper?
Alternatively, ginger can be used as a substitute. Another way you can try is to take some dried peppers and grind them up into a powder. Then again, the lemonade mixture may not be as effective and efficient.
Can I still continue with my exercise program while Im on the diet?
You still can exercise but do not engage in strenuous activities. Please note that excessive perspiration will cause a huge loss of mineral through your sweat and its always wise to exercise in balance.
If I am breastfeeding, can I do this diet?
You should not go this diet because you will need much more than this diet so that you can produce milk that is good enough for your baby. You can try this diet when you are no longer breast feeding.
How many people do the ease in phase and is it recommended?
It is recommended but not compulsory. It will help you to get used to the no solid food condition of the diet. You should start by cutting down on solid food, especially the carbohydrates and meats. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and go easy on the sauces and processed, sweetened drinks.
Can I continue on my protein shakes while using the cleanse? (I dont want to lose the muscle I put on!)
You should not take your shakes during the Lemonade diet because it will interfere with the cleansing for sure. You can carry on with exercise to prevent the loss of your muscle. You can also try organic wheat grass juice.
Today I have bad pains in my legs and back!
This is probably because you are not drinking enough water. Make sure to drink more water after you do the salt water flush and throughout the day. And also, remember that you have to use sea salt for the flush.

Success Story #3: Amy"My skin looks great, I have lost more weight than I thought. I had no idea until I threw on a pair of my tight jeans and had to cinch my belt two more loops.""Almost there! Its 6:30pm and while I could probably continue cleansing and it would bring forth even better results, I am ready to get back on the mountain and start snowboarding again. SO, Im looking forward to my slow recovery to eating foods again and much more physical activity. I think I was the most tempted this day of all because Its kinda like Im really almost done. My skin looks great, I have lost more weight than I thought. I had no idea until I threw on a pair of my tight jeans and had to cinch my belt two more loops. This was something I hadnt noticed cause I was focused more on my cleansing results. (unfortunately my boobs are smaller too) I have a good energy level and not as grouchy from lack of food. I will definitely do this again next year maybe lengthening the process another week. Hoping my new obsession with cooking will continue and wasnt just due to not being able to eat. : ) Thanks for everyones support!!!" -- AmyAmy is a very nice master cleanser who consistently shared her journal every day while on the cleanse with the visitors on our website.

He lost 17 lbs in 6 days and again, was never hungry.""I have done this master cleanse for 5 years. It was doctor recommended, when I was so toxic after a car crash and new home (overwhelmed with new glues/paint etc..my body was on over load! The first time i was so skeptical ~ however, I followed ALL the instructions, and never cheatedI wasnt hungry ever! and felt more energy and emotionally stable than I had in a long long time. I do the cleanse at least once a year, sometimes twice. I got my new husband to finally buy into it, and he was amazed at the results. He lost 17 lbs in 6 days and again, was never hungry. I am starting my 10 day journey, so I know at the end I will be ready for spring break and fight thru the plateau weight loss i have been experiencing.
