Beyonce's Maple Syrup Diet


Typical Weight Loss: 20lbs


Duration: 10 days
Level of Difficulty: 5/5

The Maple Syrup Diet or The Lemon Cleansing Diet 
Take a clean one-gallon jug and pour in the following:

3 Quarts of Water
1 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Cup Pure Maple Syrup (not maple flavored, but the REAL stuff) or molasses
1 Teaspoon Cayenne
Shake it all up and drink 8-12 glasses a day.
Beyonce Knowles says not to do this but openly admits that she used it to lose 
20 pounds in 10 days during the filming of Dreamgirls.

Personally, because of the health risks involved, I wouldn't try this.
But some people do say that if done well, it has health benefits because it is after all a 'cleanse.' 
To actually make this a 'cleansing' experience, continue reading...
Do this: 
1. Go to your local health food store and get an herbal laxative tea that contains senna. 
While you're there purchase about 1 cup of non-iodized sea salt.
2. Every morning, before your lemonade, mix two teaspoons of the sea salt with
a quart of water and chug. Make sure you are near a toilet and have about an hour to spare. 
You'll need it.
3. Every night, drink a cup of your laxative tea.
This fast should not be used for more than 10 days and you should wait at least four weeks 
before repeating it. Supposedly this fast dissolves toxins and is great for breaking up mucous. 

And most importantly, take note: 
Whatever you do, do not go directly back to a rich diet after your time on this fast. 
In fact, the best thing to do during a fast like this is to start setting your mind to healthy 
eating so that when you go off the fast you can start fresh on a healthy nutrition plan that 
will keep you body clean and strong. To ease out of the fast, do the following:
On the first day after your fast, drink unsweetened fruit juices.
On the second day, you can begin to eat soup. 
On the third day you may begin to eat light foods. Just don't shock your digestive system with 
solid foods. Be very responsive to your body's reactions...

Also called the miracle diet, this diet is one that actually works in my opinion...ONLY IF you follow everything on the menu! I tried it once, gave up on the 3rd day but still lost 5lbs. But be careful, it does come back if you binge eat afterwards... 

If you REALLY want to lose weight and you don't have any dinner dates for the next 14 days, do it! You certainly won't regret it~~!!
