The master cleanse diet recipe is not at all complicated. After all this very successful and popular diet and cleansing program consists of only 4 ingredients and one of those is water. This diet also goes by other names such as the lemonade diet, the maple syrup diet, and the cayenne pepper diet. Bet you can guess what the ingredients are, can’t you?

Yep, you’ve got it, the ingredients are fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. The exact proportions will vary depending on whether or not you want to make up a glass at a time or a whole pitcher, I’ll give you the recipe for both later on in this article.

Here is the basic idea of the diet. You will go on a strictly liquid diet for ten days. During that time you will drink the cleanse mixture throughout your day for your ‘meals’. It’s also very important that you drink plenty of water. This is a mistake that a lot of people make. They think that just because there is water in the lemonade mixture that that is enough, it’s not. Drink water during the cleanse.

It’s also very important that you ask your doctor if you can go on this cleanse and diet program. I’m not a doctor and can’t give you any medical advice so make sure to ask the person who knows you and is qualified to extend advice.

Do not beat up on yourself if you fail to make it through the ten day program on your first try. It’s very common to fail. When you’re just sitting around talking about it it doesn’t seem that hard, but anyone who has had to go on a strictly liquid diet before, say for a medical procedure, can attest to the fact that it’s not easy.

If you set a start date several days up to one week in advance, you can give yourself a lot of time to get yourself in the right frame of mind. During this time you can also help prepare your body physically for the challenge by making slight alterations to your eating habits. If you are used to eating a lot of protein heavy, high carb meals you may want to lessen your caloric intake a little bit before the cleanse so the transition isn’t so shocking to your system.

Here is the single serving size recipe:

1/2 Tablespoon each of fresh lemon juice and organic maple syrup. 1/16 of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder and 8 ounces of water.

To make a full pitcher so you have the mixture ready when ever you want it here is the recipe:

12 Tablespoons each of fresh lemon juice and organic maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder and 60 ounces of water.

Whether you mix it up by the glass or the pitcher the master cleanse diet recipe is very simple and easy to put together. Staying on this liquid only diet and drinking plenty of water for the full ten day term will help you clear out all the nasty toxins from your body and help you shed up to 20 pounds of unsightly body fat. Just make sure you talk to your doctor before you start.

Have a big event coming up soon? Want to be able too lose a few pounds before it arrives? Well, if so, there are some things you can do if you need to lose weight fast.

Please don’t think that you are going to drop 20 lbs. in a week, you’re not. Even if that were possible, and I’m not sure it is, it would be unhealthy for you.

Your better bet is to start early. I mean, come on, let’s face facts, we know if we have a wedding or a class reunion coming up. We have plenty of time to lose weight if we really want to, don’t wait until the last minute.

If you just want to lose 5 – 10 pounds in a few weeks, that is much more realistic.

Now, I’m going to warn you, some of these tips are borderline unhealthy. For many people, if they aren’t done to extreme or for too long, they are fine but you have to talk to your doctor first.

Getting your doctors ok is the best way to ensure success and that you don’t end up in the hospital. Talk to your doctor and run any type of weight loss plan by her before you start, not after.

So, if you need to lose weight fast, here are some tips I recommend:

1. Find a healthy cleanse or fast. Sometimes you may accomplish both at the same time. There are many recipes online that will allow you make a cleansing drink. You can then go on a diet for a few days which will consist mainly of a liquid diet with only a little bit of solid foods.

Always make sure you talk to your doctor first and always make sure you stay on such a program for no more than 2 or 3 days.

This can help you clean out your body and purge excess toxins out of your system. Most of the weight loss you see will only be water weight and you will gain much of it back when you go off the cleanse, but it may be enough to help you fit into that new suit or dress for your special event.

2. Drink more water. At first you may actually get a little bloated but after a day or so you should see you are losing water weight. That is because you are going to the bathroom more frequently.

You will also flush excess toxins from your system. Another benefit is that you are keeping your body well hydrated which will improve the appearance of your skin and hair.

3. Do not starve yourself. Instead eat 5 or 6 small, nutritious meals daily. When you do that you are keeping your metabolism working more efficiently and burning hot all day long.

That is the best way to lose weight more quickly. I lost 6 pounds in one week using this method and the best part was that I lost excess body fat and not just water weight.

Just include the right balance of lean protein, carbs and fat. Find out how much of each you should have by talking to your doctor first.

If you need to lose weight fast make sure you talk to your doctor, stay healthy and use these ideas as a starting point.
