Directions to The Master Cleanse
The Master Cleanse follows, on the surface, a simple routine; one, however, that isn’t exactly easy. The rules are simple, yet the will power it takes to succeed is challenging . . . albeit achievable. In fact, every day you overcome the psychological need to eat, you feel a growing sense of control that motivates you to complete the process.
Ease-In – Starting The Master Cleanse:In my experience, however, beginning the diet with the Pre-diet routine not only prepares your stomach for less food, but your mind as well. I find the first two days of the Diet are not as shocking, and the impulse to eat is therefore more manageable.
Day 1 – Fruits and Veggies
Simply remove processed foods and meat from your diet.
Day 2 – Fruit and Veggie Juice (Optional)
Some produce, just juice it. This step preps your body for a liquid diet and delivers macro nutrients directly to your bloodstream. If you do not have a juicer, you can make soup broths, or just move onto .
Day 3 – Orange Juice
Manually or electrically juice enough oranges to make 2 liters of Orange Juice, mixed with water (to taste) and 2 tablespoons of Maple Syrup for caloric needs.
Whether you begin The Lemonade Diet immediately or Ease-In, the first day is the same. You will need to make one adjustment to suit your personal preferences and/or your daily work and family routines. Generally, the variation revolves around timing your daily flush. Perhaps equally important to breaking the fast correctly is the daily bowel movement. It is crucial to flush out the toxins your body is eliminating, and since you are not consuming digestible food (fiber) to create a bowel movement, you will have to make that happen.
Soon after arising you will prepare your daily intake of Lemon Juice, Maple Syrup and Cayenne Pepper. Prepare the entire day’s meals in one session. You will soon become quite adept at the process. Take your cutting board, hand or electric juicer, tablespoon measure, lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper and place them on the counter top. We have a already mixed powder with all the above ingriedients
The following quantities of each ingredient are required (some adjustment may be needed for above-average sized people, large and small). These amounts are for all the Lemonade you need for 1 day.
- 14 Table Spoons Lemon Juice
- 14 Table Spoons Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper – or to taste (as much as you can stand)
- 2 Liters/quarts of water
This step lasts all day. Take your lemonade with you wherever you go. Every time you feel a hunger pang, take a shot of Lemonade. Chase it with a shot (or three or four) of water. Take enough to make an impact on your stomach. You are attempting to turn off the switch in your physiology that is telling you that you are hungry. DON’T WORRY, and remember that all the calories and nutrients you need for the day are in your juice.
Sometimes I take large quantities if I am particularly craving, or if I just haven’t had much lately. At any rate, keep in mind that the 2 liters are your rations for the day, and as such you should calculate throughout the day what pace you should maintain. You want to run out in the evening, prior to your flush, and obviously before bed.
The Ease-out process is the exact same as the Ease-in, but in reverse. This is also another reason I choose to do the Ease-in – it prepared me for the Ease-out. You will be tempted to jump-start this process, but don’t. Consider this step as ESSENTIAL. You can become nauseated if you start to eat too soon. Please don’t underestimate the importance of this process. On the other hand, don’t be scared of it either. You do risk some serious constipation or even worse – but if you eat something too soon, you will likely be okay in the long run. If you are unsure at any time – consult a doctor. My words here are opinion only, and should always be considered informational not medical advice.
The most important factor to keep in mind during this stage is: drink a lot of water. Especially when you are fruit and veggie juicing. If you do not make broth, and opt for juices instead, it is important you understand that the juice will have a great deal of fiber, and you need to make sure you have enough water in your system to keep you from becoming constipated.
- Day 1 – Orange Juice – 3 1-liter orange juice with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
- Day 2 – Fruit and Veggie Juice – or Broth
- Day 3 – Fruits and Veggies
- Day 4 – Regular Diet, although you should try to eat live foods –
