The Master Cleanse
Most people lose 15 to 20 lbs in 10 days on the Master Cleanse.
Don't let anyone tell you this a fad diet. It has been around for nearly 60 years. This diet contains all of the vitamins and minerals you need for the duration of fast. And over the years it has helped thousands of people to get trim, healthy and live longer.
Here it is.
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. ½ lemon),
2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B maple syrup, not maple-flavored sugar syrup or syrup from companies that use formaldehyde to harvest their syrup,
1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper (hot red pepper), and
1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water, NOT fluoridated water.
For diabetics, there is a section in some editions of The Master Cleanser on using molasses rather than maple syrup in the beginning of the cleanse. Any diabetic should read the book and consult their doctor before beginning the cleanse.
Drink six to twelve glasses of this lemonade mixture daily. No food is eaten nor any vitamin supplements taken during the cleanse. If you get hungry, have another glass of lemonade. After all, this is also called the "Lemonade Diet."
If you are overweight, you may use less maple syrup. If you are underweight, use more maple syrup if you wish.
If you are worried about losing weight, Burroughs says, "The only things you can possibly lose are mucus, waste, and disease. Healthy tissue will not be eliminated."
Do not vary the amount of lemon juice per glass and be sure to drink at least six glasses of lemonade a day. You can drink more water, if you want.
I also strongly recommend you take probiotics AFTER the cleanse to replace the good bacteria you lose when you clean your colon thoroughly. These good bacteria manufacture vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B12, and K and help control bad bacteria, such as Candida. By the way, don't waste your money taking probiotics during the cleanse. They'll just get washed out. Do it after the cleanse.
Enhance Your Elimination
This is a cleanse as opposed to a weight loss diet. So, you need to ensure you are eliminating the toxins that are being loosened in your system. Cravings, aches, pains, mental irritability and tiredness will turn on as your toxins are mobilized. To eliminate these unpleasant sensations, you need to be sure you have two, three, or more bowel movements a day.
Drink a laxative herb tea each evening. You can find it in your local health food store. I recommend senna tea blend with senna being about half of it by weight. (Senna is an herb that promotes bowel movement.) The kind I've bought warn you not to drink more than two cups per day.
Each morning on an empty stomach, add two teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt to a full quart of water. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt water first thing in the morning. "Chug" this — drink it as fast as possible. Within an hour several bowel movements will likely occur. (You'll need to be by a toilet for half an hour to an hour.) If you do not have several bowel movements, try a little more salt in the water the next day until it works.
Drink the herb laxative tea at night to loosen and the salt water each morning to wash it out. If you can't drink the salt water in the morning, drink the herb laxative tea at night and in the morning.
.
Breaking Your Fast
Breaking a long fast is very, very important. You should ease your way back to solid food after one or two additional days of juices, orange or grapefruit. If you are going back to raw fruits and vegetables, you may do so on the afternoon of the second day.
If you have been a meat eater and/or milk products consumer, shift to cooked vegetable soup on the afternoon of the second day and a salad for dinner. Keep the lemonade drink as your breakfast drink after that. Of course, you would do better with the least amount of meat and no milk products as they are very productive of mucus and hinder digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Detox Symptoms
Detoxifying literally means removing poisons from your body. Once these poisons are gone, you will feel energetic, vital, happy and healthy. It is the poisons that make us feel tired, mentally confused, irritable, unhappy, depressed and ill. Consequently you should look forward to detoxification.
Unfortunately, when the toxins are mobilized, they will bring about those unpleasant feelings and tempt you to quit the cleanse before you are through. So, you need to understand the symptoms of detoxification and ensure that you drink your laxative tea and salt water to stimulate elimination of those toxins.
My experience with the cleanse and with various people doing it has taught me that whatever symptom I experienced one day, it would be gone the next morning with my bowel movements. It is nevertheless helpful to know when you are detoxifying because it helps you to get through that symptom to know it will be gone tomorrow.
I have grouped the detox symptoms I and others have had into five groups:
Cravings — I have only known one or two people to be hungry on this cleanse. Drinking more lemonade or water handles that. I have, however, observed that people on the cleanse crave what they are detoxifying. Proof that this is true is that the cravings usually go away the next morning with bowel movements. You can crave anything when detoxifying, but most likely you will experience cravings for the most toxic foods, such as pizza, hamburgers, barbeque ribs, etc.
Tiredness — When your body fights toxins, whether from detoxifying or an infection, it diverts energy into healing and away from the energy you use to work and play. On my first 20 day cleanse, I was not tired except on the fifteenth day. The next morning, I experienced heat in my bowel movements, an indication that acidic toxins were being eliminated. I also lost all sense of tiredness.
Irritability — This includes the desire to "just chew something solid."
Physical aches, pains, nausea, vomiting, etc. — These are the most severe reactions and only occur where a person is severely toxic, only a small percentage of people experience these. Fortunately, these have gone away after only a day or two in every case I have heard about.
Hot bowel movements — Your body wastes are acidic and when you eliminate the most toxic ones, they actually feel anywhere from warm to burning. This experience is very infrequent, but worth mentioning because hot bowel movements after a day of heavy detox symptoms will confirm that you just eliminated significant toxins.
A Special Note on Headaches
In talking to people doing the cleanse, I've learned that people with caffeine addiction (coffee, soft drinks, etc.) may experience headaches for the first 2 to 4 days.
Final Note
I hope you will have the same wonderful increase in mental clarity, health, energy and positive mental attitude that I and others have found.

I eat gazpacho and drink lots of water for a few weeks when I need to rid my body of toxins. It's healthy, it isn't fattening, and it's delicious. Your whole body will feel great and it won't harm you in the least. And yes--you will lose weight! ETA: Recipe: Ingredients 3 ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1 purple onion, finely chopped 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped 1 sweet red bell pepper (or green) seeded and chopped 1-3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup red wine OR rice wine vinegar 6 or more drops of Tabasco sauce to taste One bottle of tomato juice or low-sodium V-8 juice Combine ingredients by stages in blender, using V-8 or tomato juice to blend until chunky. Chill. Keep gazpacho refrigerated in a glass bowl.

I lost 10 pounds in like a month doing the dr. perricone diet/lifestyle change.
I cut out fruit juices, fried foods, carbs, sodas, lowered intake of coffee (1 cup or less a day). Ate a lot of salmon (wild) must be smoked, broiled, baked (not fried), chicken breast same as salmon (cannot be fried), turkey breast, other fishes. Ate some almonds, macademia nuts at night for a snack. Drank a lot of water (bottled) and green tea (no sugar added, so make your own). No bread ( I cheated with wheat only, no white), no butter (I used olive oil first pressed), no pasta.
Example of my breakfast:
3 egg whites 1 whole egg (yolk and white)
smoked salmon
cantaloupe
blue berries
raspberries
black berries
1 cup of oatmeal (not instant, plain, no milk, no sugar ugh!)
1 glass water
1 cup green tea
He says you must eat protein first. Then everything else.
Lunch:
chicken breast
romaine lettuce (no creamy dressings, just lemon juice and olive oil)
cantaloup (one slice)
black berries
blue berries
raspberries
1 cup water
1 cup green tea
Dinner pretty much the same as lunch. And two snacks in the day time like nuts, apple, etc.
He wants low sugar intake.
You can read other book reviews about this on epinions.com.
Type in Dr.Perricone's Prescription under books. A lot of people say they lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.
It is hard to do but it works.
Good Luck!!
