body cleanse diet

There are myths surrounding the master cleanse and the master cleanse recipe.  In this article, I will demystify 3 of the little know myths, that you should know if you want to loss weight with the master cleanse lemonade diet.

Myth 1: The Master Cleanse is a Weight Loss and Detox Formula
The original master cleanse lemonade diet is an excellent detox, but never a superior weight loss diet. Don't get dishearten because with a few tweaks to the formulation, you can turn it into an effective weight loss diet. I'll give you more information about using master cleanse foe weight loss and detox later.

Granted that a lot of people losing weight while on the cleanse, but not everyone managed to keep those extra pounds off for good. Nonetheless, knowing that it's possible to loss weight and detox at the same time motivates a lot of people to try out the original master cleanse formula.

Myth 2: The Longer You are in the Cleanse, the More Weight You can Loss.
Theoretically speaking, what you have just read makes sense. I've known of folks going on Master Cleanse for up to 60 days.  For those wanting to use master cleanse for weight loss, this is an absolute N
The Master Cleanse Ingredients: Everything you need Part 1

o-No.

Why?
Because once out of the lemon cleanse diet, you may gain back all that you have lose and more.

If you want to use the master cleanse recipe for weight loss, you must understand a little secret about your metabolism.  It wasn't mentioned in Stanley Burroughs master cleanse diet.

When on master cleanse, probably you already know that your calories intake is around 600.  That's way below your daily calories intake on a normal day.  On the average, women require about 2000 calories per day while men need about 2700 calories. This is provided that there's no vigorous workout.

While it's perfectly alright to cut down on calories, doing so on a prolong basis slows down your metabolism rate.

The next moment, when you are back on your normal diet, your calories intake become too much for your metabolism handle.

So what happen next?

All those calories that your metabolism can't handle, get converted into fats.

If you are new to the master cleanse fast, or if you intend to use it for weight loss, don't go beyond 10 days.  That's my recommendation.

Myth 3: You Don't Need Protein
If you study the master cleanse recipe, you will know that it's a protein free formula.

While there are animals that can sustain their protein requirement for an extended period with it, we are not one of them.  I'll show you where to go, to get  the source of protein you need later.  First, I want you to know that certain amino acids found in the proteins are essential for our overall well being.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO), technical report, Protein and Amino Acid Requirements in Human Nutrition, your body can't do without the following list of amino acids:

• Lysine
• Leucine
• Isoleucine and valine
• Threonine
• Aromatic amino acids
• Tryptophan
• Sulfur amino acids
• Histidine

You may find out more about protein and amino acid requirements in human nutrition at: http://whqlibdoc.who.int/trs/WHO_TRS_935_eng.pdf>.

 

The good news is, you can truly use the master cleanse lemonade diet for weight loss and detox at the same time.

All you need to do is to add appropriate protein into your diet and keep to the 10 days regime.  That way, you can use the master cleanse recipe as a safe weight loss and detox diet.

All across America, harmful toxins including hair spray, lawn fertilizers, food preservatives, dry cleaning, and flea repellant are exposing us to more chemicals and toxins than ever before. They are present in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water that we drink. These products that we depend on daily expose us to literally tens of thousands of chemicals and contaminants each day, making the question clear, how do we detoxify? With the hundreds of detoxification products ranging from one simple supplement to complicated regimens, how do we choose the best product for us?

Detoxification, which is the elimination of poisons or toxins, includes a wide variety of treatments that aim at getting rid of the body's toxins and improve health. Although we have a natural detoxification system in our body such as our liver, lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and skin all work to eliminate the toxins we take in, the huge amount of contaminants and toxins in today's environment presents too challenging of our job for our body to handle on its own. This results in a dangerous accumulation of toxins in our body. When toxins are found in the food we eat and the water that we drink, sometimes they can not be destroyed by the digestive enzymes, detoxified by the liver, or eliminated by the immune system, causing them to build up and affect every part of our body, slowing our metabolism, taking our energy, reducing our immunity, possibly leading to serious chronic illness.

Since most detoxification supplements only focus on the liver and colon, the only way to make sure that detoxification is truly successful is to cleanse the whole body, which demands detoxification of the blood and lymph also. If toxins are present in the blood and lymph, this means that every organ, tissue, and cell will be exposed to these toxins, even if you are currently undergoing detoxification. The blood and lymph fluids need detoxification too, for your body to perform its best.

Many detoxification programs are complicated and hard to follow, even with instructions. If you can't understand what you need to do, the chances are that the detoxification program will not work very well. Be wary of which product you choose because some programs contain ingredients that are so ineffective and useless that they are a waste of money, while others contain products that are known to harm your health. Avoid programs that are based on senna and cascara, which are laxatives that often create bowel dependence, deplete vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and leave you feeling drained and fatigued. Enemas and colonics place a large demand on bowel health and, although helpful, should not be used at home, but rather under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner.

When choosing a whole body cleansing program look for something that is based on safe, effective, all-natural herbs and nutrients. It should be a gradual and gentle program that works with your body's own detoxification ability and normal patterns of elimination. The two-week initial phase should scrub your intestines naturally, stirring up and freeing stored toxins, bind the freed toxins with fiber for excretion and elimination, restore power to the liver, purify the blood, and cleanse the lymph.

Magnesium hydroxide, which is one of the most effective yet gentle laxatives available, draws water into the intestines, which causes its contents to soften and swell. It then scrubs, loosens, and cleanses the intestinal walls. Herbs such as Slippery Elm Bark, Marshmallow Root, and Peppermint Leaf extract, coat irritated mucous membranes, draw out toxins, and soothe the lining of the intestinal wall, help white blood cells seek and destroy disease-causing germs, increase the bow of bile, relax intestinal muscles, and reduce cramps and gas that may occur during detoxification.

After stirring up toxins and scrubbing them from intestinal walls, they must be grabbed onto with natural detoxification fibers. Upon entering the intestines, the fiber expands and soaks up the toxins and waste minerals, preparing them for elimination through the intestines. The safest fibers to use during detoxification are oat bran, pectin from citrus fruit, psyllium husk, and guar gum. However, even the best detox fibers can't cleanse the colon if they can't absorb and eliminate toxins. The most effective fibers are designed to be thoroughly dispersed throughout the entire colon.

With the use of milk thistle, the best known herb for the health of the liver, liver cells injured by toxins can be regenerated and toxins can be blocked from entering the liver in the first place. However, not all milk thistle products are the same. Only milk thistle that is standardized to contain 80% silymarin and formulated with phosphatidylcholine are capable of preventing liver damage in persons suffering from alcoholism or hepatitis and improving the way the liver works in people with cirrhosis of the liver. When milk thistle is combined with artichoke extract, licorice, and dandelion, the result is healthy bile production and a better flow of bile into the small intestine.

Because blood nourishes every organ as it flows through our body and transports oxygen from the lungs, nutrients from the small intestine, hormones from glands, and immune cells to fight infection and reduce inflammation. It also takes toxins to the liver and transports waste to the kidneys. However, if the liver is unable to detoxify as it should, the toxins will remain in the bloodstream, influencing every cell, tissue, and organ. Burdock, one of the most effective natural blood purifiers and cleansers, helps the kidneys filter impurities from the blood more quickly and helps to cleanse the respiratory, lymphatic, urinary, and circulatory systems also.

Since lymph is the fluid of health, the lymphatic system is the first to alert the body that there are toxins within it. One of the most effective herbs for lymph detoxification is red clover extract because it is able to keep harmful toxins out of the lymphatic system, while keeping the liver strong and stimulating bile production.

Although most people will have excellent results from the whole body cleansing program, there are additional nutritional supplements that help detoxification needs. Humifulvate, which reduces lead and cadmium levels in people who have been exposed to highly toxic metals, binds harmful metals in the intestinal tract, without draining the body of the healthy minerals it needs. Following a cleanse with a high potency pancreatic enzyme supplement will help to keep intestines parasite-free, while helping your body to produce digestive enzymes, immune secretions, and beneficial flora. Oregano, thyme, peppermint, and goldenseal are also important in keeping the body from growing bacteria, viruses, candida, and fungi after detoxification. An inulin and oligofructose supplement can help our immune system fight bacteria and viruses and improve the strength of our heart, while keeping our digestive tract healthy. Finally, a probiotic supplement can help to deliver helpful bacteria to the intestine, where the previous beneficial bacteria had been depleted due to retained intestinal toxins.

When deciding to use a detoxification program, one must know that it is safe for most people. However, pregnant or nursing women should not use any detoxification program, even if they are designed to be extremely gentle. It is also recommended that a person does not detox more than four times in the same year, unless it is recommended by a health care provider. While on a detoxification program, it is important to drink at least 64 ounces of water every day. With a good detoxification program, the whole body will be cleansed gently and gradually, while working with your body's own detoxification ability and patterns of elimination. All the above mentioned herbs and vitamins are available at your local vitamin store as well as internet vitamin stores.

www.captaincolon.com www.captaincolon.com After a detoxification program, you can cleanse your body daily through diet, supplements and lifestyle practices. 1. Eat plenty of fiber, including brown rice and organically-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Beets, radishes, artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spirulina, chlorella, and seaweed are excellent detoxifying foods. 2. Cleanse and protect the liver by taking herbs such as dandelion root, burdock and milk thistle, and drinking green tea. 3. Take vitamin C, which helps the body produce glutathione, a liver compound that drives away toxins. 4. Drink at least 2 quarts of water daily. 5. Breathe deeply to allow oxygen to circulate more completely through your system. 6. Transform stress by emphasizing positive emotions. 7. Practice hydrotherapy by taking a very hot shower for five minutes, allowing the water to run on your back. Follow with cold water for 30 seconds. Do this three times, and then get into bed for 30 minutes. 8. Sweat in a sauna so your body can eliminate wastes through perspiration. 9. Dry-brush your skin or try detoxifying patches or detox foot spas / foot baths to remove toxins through your pores. Special brushes are available at natural products stores. 10. What is the most important way to detoxify? "Exercise," says Bennett. "Yoga or jump-roping are good. One hour every day." Also try qigong, a martial-arts based exercise system that includes exercises specifically for detoxifying or cleansing, as well as <b>...</b>

Commonly known as the master cleanse, the lemonade cleanse diet is widely adopted as a detox and weight loss diet. 

If you want to succeed and lose weight with this lemonade diet, you will want to know the list of potential frustrations you may face with the original Stanley Burroughs Master Cleanse diet. 

And that could mean giving up half way, or gaining back all the weight you have lost and more during your master cleanse. I'll show you how to overcome these frustrations in this article.

Probably it's Beyonce Knowles and Robin Quivers who popularize this 50 year old formula. Both apparently achieved miraculous results with the lemonade cleansing diet.

Many immediately followed Beyonce and Robin, adopting the lemonade diet for detox and weight loss. Some have succeeded losing weight following the original lemon cleanse diet by Stanley Burroughs.  Many more have failed.  And for those who fail, the majority gave up barely 3 days into this body cleanse regime. 

Why? Let's find out.

<Sudden Switch Over>
I think I can assume that you are on solid food all the time.  For a lot of people, shifting from solid food to the master cleanse diet suddenly will be too much to handle. It's too drastic.

Consciously or subconsciously, you'll be constantly reminded that you have not taken anything solid for a while.  And it's not a comfortable feeling.

Instead of a suddenly switch, you can opt for a gradual transition.  Begin with a meal of lemonade and progressively reduce solid food till you are totally on the Master Cleanse diet.

<Failure to Dealing with Hunger>
This is closely linked to the earlier point.  The first 3 days are the hardest to get by. There will always be strong temptation to eat.

Somehow the cheese burger on the screen seems juicier than it used to.  And as you walk down the street, the aroma of freshly baked black forest cake fills the air.  Simply irresistible.

These are just 2 examples how daily temptations can weaken your will power.

What should you do?  Avoid places where you can be tempted. And if the program you are watching is constantly reminding you of food, stop watching.  Switch it off.

But if you can't take it any more, you may want to know this:

You can eat while on the lemon cleanse diet. Huh, what?

Yes, you hear me right! It's not true that you can't eat while on master cleanse.  You can.

Of course you are encouraged not to eat solid food, but there's a list of "safe food" which you can consume without interfering with your body cleanse diet.

You'll find out more about eating while on this weight loss and detox diet later.

<Roller Coaster Weight Loss>
On the average, you can lose 2 pounds a day. And mathematically it means that in 30 days, you can lose 60 pounds. Sounds like an easy way to shed weight?

But you may want to know that once you are off the master cleanse, in the same amount of time, you can put back everything plus a few extra pounds. What happen?

Mathematically, shedding 60 pounds looks easy. You just need to extend the body cleanse.  The problem is, once you are in the body cleanse for too long, your metabolism start to slow down to adjust to your new diet pattern.

And when you are back to normal diet, the food intake is too much for your newly conditioned body to handle.  Simply put, you can't metabolize as much calories as you used to do.  And these calories turned into fats.

My recommendation to you is to stay on the master cleanse for 10 days max.  That's the optimum number of days to experience the amazing effect of this internal body cleanse. Don't be afraid to go under 10 days or stop if you feel uncomfortable during your lemonade diet regime.

These are only 3 of the many challenges (or frustrations) you may face.

If you are committed to lose weight and detox at the same time, the lemonade cleanse diet may be just the right thing you need. Stay open minded. In 10 days time, your overweight issue may be a thing of the past.
