How Does The Lemonade Diet Work?

The Lemonade Diet is one of the biggest weight loss guaranteed diets which has been developed in the recent years. It began as a technique for stars to lose their body fat, and was developed by the late Stanley Burroughs, who swore by its magical capability of burning fat.

The key reason why this diet works is because of the lack of food in it. The diet comprises of not eating anything for 5-10 days, and rather relying on drinking lemonade as a substitute for food. Stanley Burroughs believed that the human body contains massive amounts of wastes within it, and only by fasting and going on a diet which would comprise majorly of lemonade one can truly create an environment where the body would forcefully expulse these wastes quickly. Thus, the diet comprised mainly of drinking lemonade, supplemented by flushing out the body with salt water, and encouraging more bowel movement with the aid of a laxative tea that helps the body release as much toxins as possible.

What does the diet comprise?

The Lemonade diet comprises of drinking lemonade. However, before stocking up on the common culprits, understand one thing - this lemonade is definitely not what you generally make with sugar and water. Instead, it is a combination of good quality maple syrup (Grade A or B preferred), along with a pinch of cayenne pepper, water and preferably freshly

squeezed lemon juice. Ideally, a person should drink around 6-7 glasses of this, each glass containing about 10-12 oz. of the lemonade. To aid the bowel movements, salt water flush is recommended, which involves consuming 2 quarts of water in the morning mixed with 2 teaspoon salt water. Also, herbal laxative tea for cleansing purpose is selected for consumption before bedtime. A substitute for the maple syrup was suggested by Stanley Burroughs, as freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, mixed with lemon juice and cayenne pepper, and if required, slightly diluted. After getting off the diet, one should try taking liquids for the first day before attempting to eat solid food.

There are several benefits of the Lemonade Diet. First of all, any person going through it is bound to lose weight. The diet is foolproof thanks to its restrictions. Second, it gives results within 5-6 days from the start, which means, it's a convenient crash diet. Third, unlike most other diets, this one does not need too many things to work with - it's a diet one can easily follow.

The biggest problem of the lemonade diet is the constant hunger pangs, thanks to the lack of food, during the first 3-4 days. Your body will not be able to understand the sudden deprivation of food, and you might suffer from mood swings. Also, bowel movements might sometimes be too much, so think before going on this diet and make a decision wisely.
