Maple Syrup Lemon Juice Cleanse

There are many detox and cleansing programs available. One of the most famous is the Master Cleanse. The maple syrup and lemon juice cleanse includes lemonade and using a laxative to flush out toxins in the body. Because of the ingredients of maple syrup and lemon juice this cleanse may seem to be a simple concept, but it can be a complicated procedure.

The Recipe

Use 14 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Make sure the lemons are organic, meaning they haven't been treated with pesticides.

Mix it with 14 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup (if you're diabetic, you can replace the syrup with agave nectar and molasses) and a 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper or cayenne pepper and two liters of spring water.

The diet will probably work better without lemon pulp, as it just adds extra work for your body's digestive system.

The Laxatives

There are two ways you can take laxatives for the diet. The first is a salt-water flush. Mix one tablespoon of sea salt with one liter of room-temperature water. The taste may be unpleasant.

Another option is using a laxative tea of your choice. You should use the laxative at home for the convenience of your bathroom. About a half an hour after you take the laxative expect to make five to seven bowel movements, every 10 minutes or so. Once you can go for more than 15 minutes without having a bowel movement, you're most likely done.

The Cleanse

This procedure claims to give you strength, stamina and restore an appearance of youthfulness. You'll intake about 650 calories less than normal while on this detox program.

It is recommended that you start everyday with either a salt-water flush or drinking a laxative tea. After your laxative, you will drink all the lemonade you made at the beginning of the day. Make sure to spread your intakes throughout the day and drink all of it before you fall asleep. You should have about 12 glasses each day.

Tips

Expect to feel worse before you feel better.

It's normal to feel minor aches at the beginning of your cleanse.

It is recommended that you only do the cleanse program for 10 days.

This isn't a one-time fix.
