Protagonist of the famous Master Cleanse diet drastic diet, this purifying and fat-burning lemon drink was developed in the 1940s, and would not only promote diuresis, but also have a thermogenic effect thanks to cayenne pepper.
For those wishing to try it, the advice is to drink it for 3 days coupled with the intake of a purifying herbal tea and mint tea , to the extent of 6 glasses a day.

In these 3 days the diet must tend to be low-calorie (since the lemonade is very sweet) and vegan, without any animal product and without cereals (yes to fruit, vegetables, nuts, oil seeds), for example:

1 glass of lemonade on an empty stomach, + breakfast with unsweetened mint tea + a fruit of your choice smoothed with a glass of almond or coconut milk or just a fruit
2 glasses of lemonade between breakfast and lunch
lunch with a vegetable soup without legumes with a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil for seasoning + a purifying / draining herbal tea without sugar
2 glasses of lemonade between lunch and snack
dinner with salad (vegetables of your choice) with 10-15 nuts, plus free vegetable garnish with a spoonful of seeds of flax or chia and a teaspoon of raw oil + a purifying / draining herbal tea
1 glass of lemonade before going to bed.

The true Master Cleanse diet is liquid only, but very drastic . Instead you can drink lemonade on a vegan-controlled regimen and lose at least one and a half pounds of weight in 3 days.

Subsequently, a maintenance can be carried out by prolonging the intake of the drink for a month , but in the dose of one glass in the morning before breakfast.

To make the famous Master Cleanse lemonade , these are the ingredients:
6 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice (as long as it’s fresh)
3 tablespoons of barley malt or rice
3 pinches of cayenne pepper
a liter of hot water, previously boiled
