It was after I read about the lemonade cleanse diet in a women’s magazine that I decided I would give it a try. I had heard before about the Master Cleanse being used by Hollywood stars and celebrities like Beyonce and Robin Quivers, but I didn’t really put two and two together at first. But it sure sounded good. Not only did you lose weight, but you also became healthier from cleaning old toxins out of your body. It also said you would have more energy and feel younger again.
Well, I went online, found a recipe for the lemonade and started on a 10-day cleanse. Before the third day was done I had to quit. I felt so bad I wanted to die. I had headaches all over my body, I felt like I was starving to death, and I had become such a miserable b*tch, nobody could stand to be around me. The funny thing was, I later found out I lasted longer than most. Most people who try the Master Cleanse quit on Day #1. That’s how hard it can be. Fortunately, I since found out it doesn’t have to be hard.
Now that I have done a couple of full, 10-day cleanses, it’s almost magic how much better I feel. My skin is more clear, my energy level is up, and I don’t have mood swings the way I used to. And what makes this thing so totally different from any other weight loss diet I ever did is that all the weight I lost has stayed off — I’m not gaining it back like before.
You want to know who’s feeling bad about me now? Ben and Jerry. Cause I used to go through at least one of their tubs of ice cream a week. Now it’s weird, but I just don’t have the same cravings for sweet desserts like I used to.
There are a lot of books about the Master Cleanse, but most of them have it totally wrong. For example, if you start getting yourself ready a few days before you start, it really makes the whole process a lot more painless.
The lemonade diet itself is not anything new. The original book by Stanley Burroughs was called The Master Cleanser, and it was written like 30 years ago. And that was the one I was trying to follow that made me feel so sick I had to quit.
Some people worry this cleanse is not safe, but I now realize there are different ways to do it. The way I tried it first could possibly have been damaging to my health if I had gone on with it. But after I learned the better way to do it, I realize that it is totally safe. You just have to get the right directions and follow them.
starting tomorrow!
