Lemon Juice Detox Recipe and Important Things You Should Know

The Lemon Juice Detox was absolutely the right thing for me, but it isn’t right for everybody. I have got my energy back, am no longer picking up every bug that comes my way and I’ve lost a whopping 33lb too. I’m so glad I decided to give the Lemon juice detox a go because I feel happier and healthier than I’ve felt in years.

I didn’t go into it lightly and my research showed that there were many differeing views about the detox and a wide range of varying recipes and rules. I’ll start by sharing the recipe that got me the best results and this is the original recipe with no tweaks;

* 8 Fluid Ounces of Spring Water

* 2 Tablespoons of Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

* 2 Tbl Spns of Pure Maple Syrup – Grade B

* One Tenth of a Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper

and that is it! Nothing else, no special ingredients that you have to spend a fortune on – no special palm oils, just those ingredients you see there.

Stanley Burroughs wrote the original Master Cleanse over Fifty Years ago and it’s been tested and proven to work by thousands of people. The Lemon Juice detox is based fully on this and I would encourage you to follow it as closely to this as possible.

To help you filter out any confusion about this and version of the detox diet, let me give you some of the names thrown about that are all fundamentally based on the original Master Cleanse, I’m sure you’ve heard of some of the following; the Lemon Detox Diet, the Maple Syrup Diet (made famous by Beyonce), Lemonade Diet, Cayenne Pepper Diet, Lemon Juice Detox and Lemon Detox.

I have my own personal favourite and I call it the Lemon Detox, this is what I based my blog on because I think it sums it up quite well. All of the versions are similar although the one I do is pretty much the master cleanse and I would encourage you to do this one. It’s been tested and it makes you feel fantastic.

You should be aware that it’s not a walk in the park, and anyone that tells you it’s a breeze is probably trying to sell you something. The fact is – it’s hard when you first start it and parts of it, like the Salt Water Flush (in the version I do) is quite vile but you have to weigh up the pro’s against the cons. Also, you do get used to the salt water flush and after a few days of your body adapting, you start to feel amazing. However, I can fully appreciate why some people don’t make it past day 1 or feel rubbish and give up by day 3.

You may also notice around day 3-4 the onslaught of some tough headaches – not pleasant but a good sign that your body is eliminating toxins and that your hard work is paying off.

So – what’s the good news then? Well, by day 4-5 you will start to feel amazing. Your body is now in full detox and eliminating all of the poisons you’ve ben carrying around and building up. You’ll feel moments of complete peace and elation, it really is quite unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I planned to do seven days on my first detox, this rose to ten and I finally finished on day nineteen!

So, will it be right for you? Well, I’d always suggest you check that you’re fit to go ahead with your GP before embarking on it and as long and he or she says yes, then go for it! Many GPs actively support and encourage the master cleanse and it’s many benefits are well documented, including the lowering of high blood pressure.

Good luck with your own personal journey with the detox, I’m sure it will be something you’ll be glad you did.
