Lemon Juice Detox – Important Facts and Correct Recipe

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 Fluid Ounces of Spring Water

* 2 Tablespoons of Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

* 2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup Grade B

* One Tenth of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper

and that is it! Nothing else, no special ingredients that you have to spend a fortune on – no special palm oils, just those ingredients you see there.

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!

I won’t lie to you – doing the detox isn’t easy and they’ll be days at the start when you’ll probably want to give up, but you have to be in the right mindset and focus on the end result that you want. There are parts on the detox, like the salt water flush, that are frankly – vile! But you have to weigh up the good against the bad and for me there was no contest. After you get past the first few days you start to feel fantastic and even the salt water flush gets easier. But I can understand why some people dont stay on the detox for the long haul, it really is for people who are determined to get results.

You may also notice around day 3-4 the onslaught of some tough headaches – not pleasant but a good sign that your body is eliminating toxins and that your hard work is paying off.

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.
