A lemon cleanse, also known as the Master Cleanse or Lemonade Diet, is a popular diet that consists of drinking a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper with the goal of detoxifying, cleansing the system, and losing weight. There are restrictions and guidelines concerning the length of time to do a Lemon Cleanse that should be considered before starting this diet.
Duration
A lemon cleanse is typically done from 10 days at a time to a month at a time, depending on how long it takes to detoxify your body. Your tongue is often the indicator. If it has a whitish coating--typically an indication of candida yeast--then you should continue the cleanse. When the white coating disappears, you are considered detoxified.
Frequency
The amount of times per year that you cleanse depends on the duration of your cleanses. If you do cleanse for 10 days in a given month, then four times a year is acceptable. That's every three months. However, if you cleanse for a month at a time, you should only do it twice a year, or once every six months.
Since a lemon cleanse can boost the immune system, many choose to cleanse during flu season.
Considerations
Before doing a lemon cleanse, consult your doctor. While the coating on your tongue is a guideline to determine the amount of time to be on the cleanse, a proper medical evaluation should determine whether you should begin one at all. Also, should you feel weak or sick during the cleanse, you should visit your doctor to make sure that your body is physically able to continue.
