The Master Cleanse

I did mention in my other post that i was going to talk about a lot of things which are about fasting or weight loss so i decide to touch a little on the Master Cleanse, since it is a form of fasting though the majority of people that i know who've done it have done it mainly for cleansing their bodies and not for losing weight.

Briefly, The Master Cleanse or Lemon Cleanse is between a water fast and a juice fast. Basically it consists of drinking a mixture of freshly squeezed lemons, water and maple syrup for a period of 8 to 40 days. It is easier to do than a water fast because you are still getting nutrients and energy from the lemons and the maple syrup. This fast can be done while still maintaining your normal work, yet is less calories than what you would get from a juice fast. It is normal to lose weight on this fast and it is excellent for cleansing the colon. For this reason, i think this is worth doing! Oh, and i read somewhere that it's the one that Beyonce did to lose weight for her role in Dreamgirls.
