When I first heard about the master cleanse lemon detox diet, it was over 15 years ago from a coworker who was looking to lose some weight. The diet gained popularity again after singer Beyonce Knowles was said to have gone on the diet to lose weight for the movie “Dreamgirls.” Whether she actually used the diet or not, people were going crazy looking for the ingredients and how to use them.
Most people thought it was a pretty simple plan. Combine the ingredients and drink 6 to 12 servings a day for 10 days. It sounds easy right? You would be surprised how difficult the diet is to follow even though it is a simple plan with simple ingredients. Most people fail right after the first day.
Why do most people fail after day 1 of the master cleanse?
The main reason most people don’t follow the master cleanse diet is because they haven’t prepared themselves mentally beforehand. You can start with your goals in mind, like losing weight or detoxifying your body, but until you actually start the diet, you’ll realize how hard it really is…
If you don’t mentally prepare yourself, you will easily give in to cravings. Everywhere you look, you will be tempted to cheat. Your friends will be eating in front of you, food will be shown on TV, you will flip through magazines and see more food. Unless you lock yourself in the house without watching TV, listening to the radio, reading magazines, or talking to friends, you will be tempted to cheat.
It’s not your fault, it’s human nature. Unless you prepare yourself, you will go off the diet, wait a week or two, try again, and most likely fail again.
Breeze through the 10 days
The Master Cleanse Diet is said to have benefits (mainly weight loss) and it also has its share of negative publicity. Whether you choose to try the diet is up to you, however it is always a good idea to check with your doctor before starting any diet.
Getting past 10 days of the diet can be an easy process with the right guidance. Find out what it takes to pass the master cleaning yourself. Read all the details below.
