Master Cleanse: 21 Tips To Make It Easier

If you are even remotely familiar with the childhood tradition of setting up a lemonade stand you know that lemonade is a popular drink. What’s not to like? It is refreshing and full of yummy wholesome goodness. You will also be glad to learn that it can be very good for your health, too.

While you may not be surprised to hear that lemonade is tasty & popular, you may be surprised to learn that lemonade is the foundation of one of the most popular body detoxification cleanses. That cleanse is called the “Master Cleanse” and because of its use of lemonade and the cleansing agent it is also affectionately referred to as the “Lemonade Diet.”

Let’s get to the Master Cleanse tips you were promised:

1. This diet contains no fiber, so avoid constipation by drinking a laxative tea, taking senna supplements, or ingesting a daily salt water laxative.
2. Rinse your mouth with plain water after each glass of lemonade. This will prevent acid wear on your teeth.
3. Make the drink in small batches of a few servings, or at most a day’s supply.
4. If you prefer to drink it hot, don’t directly heat the ingredients. Instead, add them to hot water. This is a great way to start the day.
5. Take pictures of yourself before, during, and after the cleanse to stay motivated.
6. An online journal chronicling your experience can help you stay accountable.
7. Having a diet buddy to do the cleanse with you can help keep you on track.
8. Reduce hunger pangs and low blood sugar by drinking another glass or two of lemonade.
9. If the hunger is really getting to you, consider a Hoodia supplement.
10. Stick with fresh squeezed lemons and organic ingredients for maximum benefit.
11. If you are on medication, make sure you check with your doctor before starting the diet.
12. To make it easier to stick to the diet, get rid of junk food from your home and only allow healthy food in your kitchen.
13. A probiotic or digestive enzyme supplement can help restore your intestinal balance in the days and weeks following the cleanse.
14. Avoid temptations to stray by starting the diet while you are off of work, or when you are too busy with other things to succumb to temptation.
15. Get enough sleep so your body can work more effectively on eliminating toxins.
16. If your tongue is coated, brush it with a plain toothbrush and rinse with water. The coating will go away once the toxins are eliminated from your body.
17. If the cayenne makes your lemonade too spicy for your liking, try taking a cayenne capsule with the drink instead.
18. Begin and end the cleanse with two days of fresh vegetable juices before and after the 10 day cleanse.
19. Start taking your tea or fiber laxative, senna capsules, bentonite clay, or salt water laxatives two days before beginning the cleanse.
20. Avoid your typical multivitamins and other supplements while on the cleanse to achieve optimal results.
21. The first two to three days are the hardest. If you can make it through this initial period, the rest of the cleanse is considerably easier.
