Do yall think that the "Lemonade Diet" works and is healthy to try?

Question

It's basically drinking Lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup combined. Beyonce did it for the Dream Girls Movie and is has been around for a while and used for many different things. But of course once a celeb does something it's so big now. She was loosing like 25lbs in days.

You're suppose to do it for only 10 days.

Answer 1

It's supposed to be a very powerful cleanse and the weight loss is a by product of the cleansing of all the toxins and waste being removed from your body. Make sure you use organic lemons, distilled water and grade B or C maple syrup as those have a higher mineral content than Grade A- which is where your body gets the vital support it needs. You truly have to be mentally prepared to do this- it is a discipline- but if you are doing it for your health- the discipline will be easier. Also- I have read up on ways to break the fast- your body needs to gently be broken back into regular eating again. Do an online search for "lemon cleanse" on yahoo- that is where I read up on it all. :) Best of luck! :)

Answer 2

I think it resembles the slim-fast jump start diet where you drink nothing but slim-fast for 5 days then continue to eating one healthy meal a day after that. But as for as health wise I don't think it is a good idea. When you lose weight too quickly it tends to have a larger impact on your body than just losing weight quickly. It can mess up your entire digestive system including metabolism. And losing weight this way we tend to add the pounds back on faster later on. But whatever your decision I wish you the best.

Answer 3

I remember seeing a progamme about this on British TV and basically they rubbished it as a method of losing weight - unhealthy, messes up your metablism, depletes essential minerals and vitamins and the weight tends to pile back on.

Also she can lie around for a couple of weeks doing nothing - I bet anyone trying that diet and a full working week would be on their knees after 4 or 5 days.

Answer 4

It works!! I tried it for 2 days and gave up but I am going to try it again in a few weeks. If you are looking to lose weight it's great but it also works as a cleanser for your body. My sister works in a salon and all the women go on the diet together once every 2 months. They have all lost so much weight!! They do it together so that they can motivate one another to stay on it for all 10 days. GOOD LUCK!!
