I tried lemonade diet in the mid eighties when my massage therapist suggested it would help slenderize my hips and thighs. She told me I could purchase the syrup at the health store and all I had to do was add water...long story short, it was rewarding and did what it sauid it would...a few years later another person made me aware of the master cleanser..which I quickly realized was the lemonade diet...except this time they were talking about using fresh organic lemons and cayenne pepper or the juice of the cayenne pepper and of course sprig or distilled even purified water..i like this one the best..the freshness of everything..then I was advised to pump it up with the rind and garlic cloves..i must tell you it was amazing...i stayed on for a minimum of ten days and the results have been phenomonal! My body is as firm and toned as if I have been in the gym...i di and still do walk three to five miles every day...but the weight lost is only a bonus...my skin is healthy and I actually appear much younger...a lot younger...i have incredible energy and my dreams are very vivid...allergies have cleared up...i am a singer and one who seems to suffer with mucus..because of the allergies to smoke..because of various environments that I cannot control I am the victim. Well since I have introduced the master cleanser into my life my voice is clear and scratchy free...and smooth...i recommend this for any singer or speaker. Well I could go on and on about how fabulous this health is because I can see so many results...mentally, physically and spiritually. I'm going for the forty days my next go round. By the way..it taste so good that you don't suffer the expected hunger pangs... of course you know that this requires a deep desire to improve your health and takes discipline and will power or vanity...if you make it a spiritual journey you will reciev many benefits as you do what is right!

The posting of this fast is incomplete. For those looking to do more than loose weight you may find this book of interest, "Healing For The Age Of Enlightenment". It was originally written by Stanley Burroughs in 1976. This book explains in detail how and why The Master Cleanser or Lemonade Diet works to heal the body of all kinds of diseases which modern medicine can't. Doing this fast/diet I was able to heal my body of fibroids and endometriosis. I do this fast/diet 3-4 times a year for 10-40 days. This is a very intense diet but it works, especially when backed up with meditation. I haven't needed a doctor since stumbling on to this book.

I tried this today and will continue to use it. I was expecting this to taste horrible, but it is actually not that bad! I love the cayenne pepper flavor... I used a very tiny bit. I didn't have Grade B syrup, so I used Grade A instead. I will add that the best way to drink this is with the warm water and with a straw. It makes it go down much, much easier

This is a very good cleansing recipe. My parents got this directly from the doctor who started it (dr. Bragg) in hawaii and during their vacation the used this cleanser and lost quite a lot of weight (this was close to thirty years ago),glad to see it is still around, have been searching for the exact recipe for quite a while. Will be using it again soon.

I'm on this cleanse for the second time(day 7) along with my husband. It's very mentally challenging, and it's amazing that your body can go so long without food. Someone once said this cleanse is like hitting the 'reset button' on your body. I highly recommend this cleanse. IMPORTANT: Make sure that before you do this cleanse you read the book, " The Master Cleanser"(it's cheap-6 bucks) by Stanly Burroughes (the creator of the diet)to make sure you are following the diet correctly and know exactly how you need to break the fast.

After doing some research I decided to start the Master Cleanser this past Wed. I have suffered from chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for the past 5 years. I've been put on 6 different anti-depressants that have only seemed to make me gain weight and feel worse. When I made the decision to start on the Master Cleanser, I also decided that since I would most likely be feeling less than wonderful the first few days on the diet I might as well get myself off the drugs that weren't helping me anyway. This way I could get my system completely cleansed of toxins. Well, this is my 4th day on the program and I was amazed at the weight loss I've had. 5 pounds the first day!!! I'm at a total of 8 1/2 pounds right now and I'm feeling pretty good. I noticed more energy today than I've had the last couple of days, so, I'm assuming it's working the way it should. I'm shooting for the 10 days right now, but hopefully I'll be able to go as long as I need to to get my strength and energy back to where they should be. I can't wait! I hope it works as well for me as it has for the rest of you. Thanks for your postings...I feel more motivated than ever.

I used this to jump start my weight loss program, I have about 15 lbs to lose. I think it tasted great and I just ran some plain water through my coffee maker so the water would be warm when I wanted to drink some. Unfortunately, I could only make it to about 6:00 p.m. and had to have a salad for dinner. Thank you for helping start my weight loss program it really gave me the incentive to keep going. Thank you.

This is very good! I am not a lover of the taste of maple AT ALL but this really does taste good! I used it to make my hunger go away without knowing that’s what I was doing. When I would make this I would drink it and the hunger pang I had in my stomach went away. I have to admit that I could only go as long as 8PM this way BUT I did lose 4 pounds… I needed that to kick start me into losing some of my baby fat! Try this, you really have nothing to lose, except of course maybe a couple of pounds…lol!

I've been on this for six days now - I have never been able to diet or fast before, this is easy. It tastes nice, I don't feel hungry (every time I do I simply drink a mix), I like not having to bother making food - I just prepare three litres of lemonade in the morning. I have been feeling very cold, so I will try adding cayenne pepper tomorrow. PS: I don't know whether I have lost any weight, since I don't own a scale, but my pants definately feel looser!
