The Diet Logs

The Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemon Cleanse, was created by Stanley Bouroughs in 1941. The Master Cleanse involves eating no solid food, but instead drinking a mixture of fresh lemon juice, Grade B/Medium maple syrup, water and Cayenne pepper. It is to be consumed at room temperature. The mix contains some essential vitamins and minerals. The master cleanse is not a “fast”, proponents say it is more gentle on the body. It is a detoxification program that proponents recommended minimum of ten days, but it is not uncommon for people to stay on the cleanse for longer periods of time. I have heard of people doing this diet for 40 days…can you imagine…FORTY days of no food?! The longest I have managed was 5 days and I lost 10 pounds.
