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.)

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.

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.

purest form of water, but sometimes is
questioned due to a great deal of
misconceptions. Read Dr. Weil's article about
distilled Water.

Take 6 - 10 glasses of lemonade during the day.
Six (6) glasses for those wishing to reduce. Extra
water may be taken as desired.

amount of lemon/lime juice per glass.

and vitamin content of the maple syrup vary
according to the area where the trees grow and
the mineral content of the soil. The

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?

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?

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?

pages 25-27, follow the directions very carefully.
