The master cleanse diet is created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. He only published a book on the master cleanse only during 1976. In short, the diet only permits you to consume the lemonade mixture for the whole duration of the master cleanse – You can require to drink a minimum of 60 oz of lemonade a day and drink plenty of water too. But you are not allow to eat or drink other foods rather than the lemonade.

Do note: there is a big time difference from the time where Stanley Burroughs published the book till today (1976 and 2009). If you have been reading other websites information on the master cleanse recipe, most of them are using the original recipe which are a little outdated now (for example,  the U.S.D.A. has changed the classification of maple syrup).

Before you embark on the master cleanse journey…

It is advsiable for you to obtain a copy of the master cleanse guide written by either Katie Jones or Raylen, so you would know exactly what to do and what to expect. Even though the web contains most of the master cleanse instructions, the content in these sites may not be organized and structured as well as these guides. As a result, you may miss out some of the most important information that can help you in the master cleanse.

We have provided you with a single serving recipe of the master cleanse diet below. Most of the time, you may want to make the lemonade for the whole day otherwise it’ll be troublesome for you to make the lemonade each time you want to drink it.

You would need to mix the following ingredients together in order to make the lemonade mixture.

1. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

2. 2 tablespoons of organic maple syrup grade B

3. 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder

4. 10 oz glasses of distilled water (This is around 295ml of water)

Lemon juice – you would approximately need half a lemon to make 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. If you want to create the lemonade for the whole day, it can only last for 8 hours before it turns bad (even you have put it into the fridge).

Do take note not to use canned lemon juice as the vitamins and nutrients are no longer in the canned lemon. It is essential for your body to absorb the lemon nutrients because you are drinking the lemonade for 10 days.

In our master cleanse survival manual, you would discover how you should you prepare the lemonade exactly in the morning. (You can’t add the cayenne pepper in the morning when you prepare the lemonade for the whole day, otherwise it will turn bad within a short while..)

Maple syrup - If you read from all the free information online, the standard instructions are to use organic maple syrup grade B. They would also tell you not to use other kinds of syrup as they are not suitable for the master cleanse diet. Usually you can only find the grade B maple syrup in United States only and if you are from other parts of the world, chances are you won’t be able to find grade B maple syrup.

BUT, is it the truth that only grade B maple syrup is suitable for master cleanse? In our master cleanse survival manual, you would also discover whether do you really need grade B maple syrup. (It is found out that Stanley Burroughs originally published the Master Cleanse in 1976 when the U.S.D.A. classified maple syrup into 3 different categories. However, now U.S.D.A. has revised it’s classification… )

Cayenne pepper – do not underestimate the power of cayenne pepper. It is one of the best healing herbs in the world. The pepper can increase the blood flow in the body, have a rich source of vitamins B & C and can save one from heart attack. We would recommend you to buy the powder form of cayenne pepper.

Most people find it difficult to drink the lemonade with the cayenne pepper in it. If you find it difficult too, here’s a tip… Put the cayenne pepper powder into empty capsules and when you drink the lemonade and maple syrup, just swallow the capsules. This is more effective than buying cayenne pepper pills that are produced by the pharmaceutical companies.

Laxative Herb Tea

Usually one can take the green or peppermint tea but take note that it should not be caffeinated. This is usually taken before the start of the master cleanse and the instruction from the book is to drink it every evening before you go to the bed.

Note: You don’t want to drink the laxative tea together with the salt water flush as it would cause diarrhea.

Salt Water Flush Recipe

You would need to prepare a teaspoon of organic sea salt (not iodized salt) with 25 – 35 oz of warm water. Mix well and do your best to drink the solution in one go. If it is difficult to drink, use normal temperature water then. The purpose of the salt water flush and the laxative tea is to help you in bowel elimination.

It is best to drink the salt water flush before drinking the lemonade in the morning as it is more effective with empty stomach.

Have you tried the salt water flush and you totally couldn’t stand the taste? Some people may face the problem not able to have successful bowel movements.  Our master cleanse newsletter below would give you tips, secrets and our experiences on how you can “cheat” on the salt water flush..

Success Story #3: Amy

"My skin looks great, I have lost more weight than I thought. I had no idea until I threw on a pair of my tight jeans and had to cinch my belt two more loops."

"Almost there! It’s 6:30pm and while I could probably continue cleansing and it would bring forth even better results, I am ready to get back on the mountain and start snowboarding again. SO, I’m looking forward to my slow recovery to eating foods again and much more physical activity. I think I was the most tempted this day of all because It’s kinda like…… I’m really almost done. My skin looks great, I have lost more weight than I thought. I had no idea until I threw on a pair of my tight jeans and had to cinch my belt two more loops. This was something I hadn’t noticed cause I was focused more on my cleansing results. (unfortunately my boobs are smaller too) I have a good energy level and not as grouchy from lack of food. I will definitely do this again next year maybe lengthening the process another week. Hoping my new obsession with cooking will continue and wasn’t just due to not being able to eat. : ) Thanks for everyone’s support!!!"

Success Story #4: Carin *New

"I got my new husband to finally buy into it, and he was amazed at the results. He lost 17 lbs in 6 days and again, was never hungry."

"I have done this master cleanse for 5 years. It was doctor recommended, when I was so toxic after a car crash and new home (overwhelmed with new glues/paint etc…..my body was on over load! The first time i was so skeptical ~ however, I followed ALL the instructions, and never cheated……I wasn’t hungry ever! and felt more energy and emotionally stable than I had in a long long time. I do the cleanse at least once a year, sometimes twice. I got my new husband to finally buy into it, and he was amazed at the results. He lost 17 lbs in 6 days and again, was never hungry. I am starting my 10 day journey, so I know at the end I will be ready for spring break and fight thru the plateau weight loss i have been experiencing. If you are frightened about te hunger………just have faith….drink more…..and meditate. Know that it is in your head, and get out of that spot…do something! Good luck."
