How to Do a Lemon Detox

The lemon detox diet has become very popular as a way of losing weight and cleaning toxins from the body. Achieving and maintaining good health goes far beyond a 7- or 10-day fast. However, if you are in a pinch and are looking to shed a few pounds and jumpstart your journey to health, the lemon detox diet is for you.

Instructions

1

Check with your health care professional before starting a fast. Once you've received the all-is-clear from your doctor or health care professional, start the process.

2

Mix lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper into the 8-oz. glass of water. Stir thoroughly.

3

Drink 6 to 10 glasses of this mixture daily. Some advocate hot water and others advocate cold. The water temperature is not important; the ingredients are key to the lemon detox fast.

4

Continue the fast for 7 to 10 days, but no more than 14 days.
