How to Combine Food With the Lemonade Diet

The Lemonade Diet is a detox program designed to cleanse your system and help you lose weight. Different people incorporate the diet for varying amounts of time. However, it typically lasts two days and consists of only consuming lemon juice, Grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper, water and unrefined sea salt. While combining food throughout the entire process would eliminate its purpose, you can combine food with the beginning and the end of the Lemonade Diet to ease your body into and off the diet.

Instructions

1

Eat only fruits and vegetables on the first day of the diet. This will ease your body into what it will be going through over the course of the diet. The fruits and vegetables should be raw, if possible. Since you can't consume dressings at this point, pick fruits and vegetables you enjoy eating by themselves. You don't want to make the process any more difficult than it has to be.

2

Drink three liters of orange juice with two tbsp. of grade B maple syrup in it throughout the second day.

3

Decide how long you want to detox. Most people detox only for two days. During these days, you can only consume two liters of lemonade over the course of each day. To make this lemonade, combine 14 tbsp. lemon juice, 14 tbsp. grade B maple syrup, 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper and two liters of water. Drink from the lemonade when you feel hunger pains. In the evening of each day, mix 1 tbsp. unrefined sea salt into one liter of water and drink it at one time to flush out your system.

4

Drink three liters of orange juice mixed with two tbsp. of grade B maple syrup over the course of the first day after you have finished detoxing.

5

Eat only fruits and vegetables on the second day after completion of detox. The fruits and vegetables should be raw, if possible. Pick fruits and vegetables you enjoy eating by themselves.

6

Eat only fruits, vegetables and non-processed foods during the third day after you have stopped detoxing. Grains such as brown rice and oats will help to ease you back into your regular diet.
