Lemon Juice Detox Recipe and Important Things You Should Know

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.

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;

* 8floz Spring Water (or pure water from a source)

* 2 Table Spoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice (does not need to be organic unless your juicer compresses the skins too)

* 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.

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!

The detox is known by various names, some are the same, some have tiny tweaks but all are based on the Master Cleanse, you may have heard it called the following; maple syrup detox, lemon juice cleanse, cayenne pepper diet, lemon detox, the lemonade diet and the master cleanse, amongst others. All of which stem from the Master Cleanse.

I tend to refer to it as the Lemon Juice Detox as I think it pretty much sums it up! You’ll read many versions and there are even ‘relaxed’ versions out there now too, though I have only ever done the 100% detox version and the results from that have been phenominal and I’ve never felt better!

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.

But don’t worry because with the bad comes far more good! feelings of clarity and elation kick in after day four and you will feel like you’re walking on air. As all of those toxins leave your body, you’ll start to absolutely amazing. I’d advise that you do around seven to ten days, although my first detox lasted nineteen days in the end!

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.

Good luck with your own personal journey with the detox, I’m sure it will be something you’ll be glad you did.
