Why is the Lemonade Diet so successful?

By Jen Hawkins


The rich and famous love it, the normal person in the street can afford it and get the same results, and what's more, there are no special, unique ingredients or the need to subscribe to expensive programs. Combine this with the massive amount of praise, being given to the Lemonade diet, from all over the World. It's no wonder that people are still talking about this diet, considering that it was first published in 1976.

Many seem to be slightly confused as to what the Lemonade diet really is. First of all, it's name 'The Lemonade Diet' started to replace it's real name the Master Cleanse diet. I think this is because many were confused exactly what the Master Cleanse was and calling the Lemonade Diet, meant there was no guess work as to what the diet consisted of. The original Master Cleanse diet book, called 'The Master Cleanse' was published by Stanley Burroughs in 1976. Originally, he used the same diet in the 40's to help local people to him with ailments.

How the diet works, is that it removes toxins and waste that have built up in our digestive system over many years. These toxins are the result of the natural waste that foods leave behind and tend to remain in our digestive system over many years. Combined with the increase in the amount of chemicals that are present in many popular cosmetics, shampoos and more. All of these, over time, build up in our bodies.

The original purpose of the diet, was not as a means of weight loss, but as I said, detox the system. This is achieved through a specially made drink and not normal shop purchased lemonade. The drink that you make yourself, consists of lemons, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. In fact, it's relatively easy to find many recipes on the web. It's important though to remember to first consult your doctor before you take on any diet, even one as simple as the Lemonade Diet and more so that you follow a diet program, rather than just making the drink and doing it yourself.

The results that you can expect from taking the diet, will vary of course as we are all different. However, the continued rise in glowing reports both from celebrity endorsement and every day people, does add weight, if you pardon the pun, to the diet. Many have lost a great deal of weight through taking the diet, but you must remember that this is a detox diet and the weight loss is an added bonus.
