It has come into fame by the celebrity Beyonce, who was able to lose 20 pounds in 10 days while sticking to this program. This diet consists of a lemonade that you must drink 6 to 12 glasses a day of. It contains 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, the juice from half of a lemon, 1/10th of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 8 ounces of spring water. This diet has received great word of mouth by hundreds of people who use it every year to detoxify their bodies and shed excess weight. The average woman loses about 12 pounds on this diet, and the average man can lose around 16 pounds.

It is interesting to note that this diet debunks the idea that humans cannot live without protein for 10 days. Many people do not realize that the citrus of lemons provide a great source of vitamin C and potassium. There are people that aren’t recommended to try the Lemonade diet. Some people have a large amount of toxins stored in their bodies and may display severe detox symptoms such as headaches, rashes, fatigue, irritability, and even vomiting. People showing these symptoms while on this diet should stop immediately and try a better and gentler diet for their situation. People who have recently gone through a surgery should also avoid this diet because they need excess protein to heal their bodies. Nursing or pregnant mothers need to steer clear of this diet because their nutritional needs will not be met. Anyone that doesn’t fall under these restricted categories is encouraged to try this amazing diet and detoxifying system.
