Monday, August 13th, 2012

There are many terms which have been used to coin the master cleanse diet since it’s conception in 1941. The lemonade diet, lemonade cleanse, and maple syrup diet…to name a few. However, there is only one master cleanse diet recipe.

Invented by founder Stanley Burroughs, & created to treat ulcers and rid the body of toxins, the master cleanse diet has not faded out of culture over the course of 60+ years — it has only grown more popular; it has developed a larger public fan base and has gained more recognition and avid support from numerous dietitians and celebrities alike…because it has been time-proven to work! People all across the world have given the healthful master cleanse diet credit for their regained wellness and weight loss.

  

There’s a simple master cleanse diet recipe to follow; although, a strict one. There has been some talk of a “new, improved” version of this diet. It is important to note that you cannot expect to obtain the same favorable benefits by using these methods — which are complete body detoxification & weight loss reduction. The original Master Cleanser book outlines the diet as a liquid only regimen where solid foods are not allowed.

Stanley Burroughs, creator of the lemonade diet, writes the following statement in the original Master Cleanser book.

Take from six to twelve glasses of the lemonade daily during the waking period. As you get hungry just have another glass of lemonade. NO OTHER FOOD SHOULD BE TAKEN DURING THE FULL PERIOD OF THE DIET. As this is a complete balance of minerals and vitamins, one does not suffer the pangs of hunger. Do not use vitamin pills.

The liquid master cleanse diet was meant to give the digestive tract a break from solid foods, eliminate hardened waste that has been stuck in the colon, cleanse the kidneys, burn stubborn fat deposits, and rid cravings associated with junk foods, drugs, & alcohol.

Six to twelve lemonade diet beverages are to be consumed daily. The original master cleanse diet includes the following recipe guidelines and ingredients.

One serving of the Master Cleanse Recipe, includes:

1/2 of a Squeezed Lemon

1-2 Tbsp of Organic, Grade B Maple Syrup
10 oz Purified Water

1/10 tsp of Cayenne Pepper


This recipe is used along with a salt water flush in the morning and an herbal laxative tea at night to help eliminate waste that has been lingering in the digestive tract.

Cayenne Pepper Capsules & The Master Cleanse

Monday, September 13th, 2010

When doing the Master Cleanse Diet or Cayenne Pepper Diet, many cleansers commonly ask the same question. Is it alright to substitute cayenne powder for cayenne pills and, if so, how many cayenne capsules/pills should I take?

The short answer is, “Yes, it is ok.” It is the same substance in a different form. Your body will digest the cayenne spice the same way, whether it is in powder or pill form. You are receiving the same amount of nutrients that you would be if you were using the powdered cayenne in your Lemonade Diet.

As for how many cayenne pepper pills or cayenne capsules you should use when doing the Master Cleanse Cayenne Pepper Diet, below is an estimated conversion.

Understand, milligrams -mg listed on your cayenne pill bottle- describe a unit of weight, whereas teaspoons -or tsp- represent a unit of capacity / volume, so the density of the substance is important when converting a substance from milligram to teaspoon.

For instance, unrefined sugar = approx 4.2 grams (4200 mg) per teaspoon, and water = approx 5 grams (5000 mg) per teaspoon.

However, cayenne powder is much lighter than either of these substances. 1 average tsp of cayenne powder is the equivalent of 2000 milligrams.

The Lemonade Diet recipe calls for 1/10 tsp cayenne per serving, so 1/10 x 2000 mg = approx 200mg a serving.

This equals about half of a 500mg cayenne capsules per glass or one 500 mg cayenne pepper capsule every other glass.

In conclusion, 4 Cayenne Pills a Day are recommended for the Lemonade Diet.

You can take more or less depending upon your preference… up to 8 – 500mg cayenne pills a day can be used.
