Is the Lemonade Diet a reducing diet?
The diet is a 'cleansing diet' but it has
the added benefit of being an optimal
'reducing diet'
Will I feel hungry?
As this is a complete balance of
minerals and vitamins, you will not
suffer from hunger pangs.
What if I feel hungry?
The lemonade is a true 'appetite
suppressant', but when you feel
hungry, drink a little of the lemonade.
On a personal note, I usually keep a
thermo with lemonade for those
moments of weakness... a small sip of
the lemonade reminds me of how
wonderful I now feel.
Will I feel sick during the diet?
You may feel a stirring in your system
for the first two-three days, but this is
the result of toxins circulating in your
blood stream as the body goes through
its first stages of the cleanse. Keep
right on the diet! don't cheat...You can
do it! after the third day, your energy
will increase and you will start seeing
the benefits.
How much can I expect to loose?
Average weight lost is about 2 pounds
a day. (For those overweight less
maple is suggested.)
How many days should I follow the diet?
It is suggested that your follow the diet
for a minimum of 10 days or more...
What is the optimal number of days?
Most followers find a 7 to 12 days
enough to obtain full benefits.
How often can I do the diet?
Three to four times a year will do
wonders to keep the body healthy and
fit.
I'm overweight, can I do the diet more
often?
Yes, you may break the diet in stages,
such as doing 10-12 days, following
with a month of drinking the lemonade
during the day, and finishing with a
light evening meal, and then going
back to a full diet for another 10-12
days.
Does the diet supply the nutrients
necessary for the body?
Yes, the lemons and limes provides the
richest source of minerals and vitamins
of any food. Maple has a large variety
of minerals and vitamins, and the
Cayenne adds many of the B and C
Vitamins. The lemonade is food in
liquid form.
Do I need to add the Cayenne?
Yes, adding the cayenne pepper to the
lemonade is necessary as it breaks up
mucus and increases warmth by
building the blood for additional
energy. Read about the benefits of
cayenne pepper.
Spring Water or Distilled Water?
You can use either one. Distilled water
is the purest form of water, but
sometimes is questioned due to a great
deal of misconceptions. Read Dr.
Weil's article about distilled Water.
How much should I drink?
Take 6 - 10 glasses of lemonade
during the day. Six (6) glasses for
those wishing to reduce. Extra water
may be taken as desired.
Can I also use limes?
Yes, you may use limes, but never vary
the amount of lemon/lime juice per
glass.
Can I use any type of Maple Syrup?
You need to use genuine maple syrup.
(not maple flavored maple sugar syrup)
The mineral and vitamin content of the
maple syrup vary according to the area
where the trees grow and the mineral
content of the soil. The recommended
syrup needs to be 'formaldehyde-free
organic maple syrup, as offered in our
Lemonade Diet Package.
Can I replace the maple with honey?
You may not! (read warning about
honey, page 18 of the 'The Master
Cleanser' booklet referred as 'MCB')

Should I take vitamins?
It is suggested not to take vitamins. The
lemonade provides all the vitamins and
minerals needed. (Read pages 22/23:
MCB')
Do I need to take the Laxative?
As this is a cleansing diet, you need to
help Nature to eliminate poisons. It is
suggested by the Master Cleanser Diet
to take the a Laxative Herb Tea both
morning and evening. You need to have
2/3 or more movements a day, this step
is needed to remove toxins loosened by
the lemon juice cleanse. As laxatives are
additive and somewhat harmful to the
system, we suggest to use Triphala as
an alternative in the morning to the
herbal laxative. Read Dr. Weils' article
about laxatives.
What is Triphala?
Triphala is a potent yet gentle formula,
designed to support the body's natural
cleansing process. Triphala has been
one of the most important formulas of
Ayurvedic herbalism for thousands of
years...see more details!
What about enemas, are they suggested
during the fasting?
Quoting from the MCB page 21'Do not
take enemas or colonics at any time
during the cleansing diet or afterwards.
They are unnecessary and can be
extremely harmful' See also Dr. Weils'
article about enemas. Mr. Burroughs
recommends the Salt Water Bathing as a
way of a cleaning the colon.
What is the Salt Water Flush/Bathing?
This is the method for cleaning the
colonic tract without harmful effects of
colonics and enemas. It is prepared with
uniodized sea salt, and taken in and
empty stomach in the morning.
Should I take the Herbal Laxative
together with the Salt Water Bathing:
No, one or the other.
What reaction can I expect from the Salt
Water Bathing?
The salt and water will quickly and
thoroughly wash the entire tract in about
one hour. Several eliminations will likely
occur. Give yourself at least and hour
and half before going out.
How often can I do the SWB?
You may take as often as needed for
proper washing of the entire digestive
system.
What can I do about cramping from the
laxative?
Mild cramping is normal, but try changing
to a different laxative. The one being
offer in our Lemonade Diet Package.
contains additional digestive support with
different herbs to ease discomfort and
reduce cramping. You could also add a
peppermint tea bag to your herbal
laxative, this really helps!
My tonque feels fuzzy and my breath
does not feel fresh, what can I do?
This is a reaction as the body is
experiencing a change by eliminating
toxins. Your tongue will start clearing and
will turn a healthy pink as your cleansing
progresses. Mint tea may be used
occasionally during the diet. The
chlorophyll in mint tea helps as a purifier,
neutralizing mouth and body odors that
are released during the cleansing period.
My skin feels dry, why?
Once again this is due to the changes
your body is experiencing. Pamper
yourself! a hot herbal bath with emollient
oils will do wonders.
I'm getting back pains, why?
This needs a medical answer, but back
pain is a sign of dehydration; increase
your water intake. Some people known to
have kidney stones have experienced
passing the stones during the cleanse.
What to do with a headache?
Difficult question! When dieting a slight
headache indicates dehydration and low
blood sugar; drink a glass of water mixed
with a 1/2 tsp of Maple Syrup.If, you are
a coffee or soda drinker, then most likely
its caffeine withdrawl , it will go away after
the 2nd day.
How do I end the diet?

important, please read 'coming off the
diet' and read TMC's pages 25-27, follow
the directions very carefully. Read our
