The Master Cleanse Diet is a mental, spiritual and physical detoxification system designed in 1941 by Stanley Burroughs. This detoxification system is also called the "Lemonade Diet." The Master Cleanse Diet can easily resemble a liquid fast where you drink a special lemonade mixture of purified water, organic grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper and lemons. However, the diet is more than a simple fast, the Master Cleanse Diet is a powerful healing and weight loss system that, when implemented correctly, can eliminate toxins from the body and create vitality and mental clarity.

Step 1

Purchase a copy of "The Master Cleanse" by Stanley Burroughs.

Step 2

Prepare yourself mentally for the challenge. The Master Cleanse Diet is a holistic system that requires the cooperation of the mind and body. One week before you begin the diet, begin meditations and positive affirmations to yourself about your commitment to the 10-day Master Cleanse Diet.

Step 3

Eliminate temptations. Remove all junk and processed foods from your pantry and refrigerator. For 10 days, you will be required to function on a 100 percent liquid diet. The Master Cleanse diet contains more than 1,300 calories with all the vitamins and nutrients that your body will need during this period.

Step 4

Purchase all items from the grocery store in one trip. Minimize any unnecessary activities and opportunities that could get you off track during this process. The goal is to retreat into a quiet place with minimal outside interaction. By doing so, you will remain focused and reserve energy which will be needed once your body begins to eliminate toxins.

Step 5

Minimize the amount of people you share your Master Cleanse Diet process with. People who have not heard of the diet may think it is extreme and will ask lots of questions. When you are just starting the diet, you are not in a position to answer all these questions.

Step 6

Create a comfortable environment. One major key to success on the Master Cleanse Diet is to keep your external stress level down. As the toxins are removed from your body, you may experience a slight discomfort in your digestive system. Lighting scented candles, playing soft music and creating a relaxing environment will allow this transition period to go more smoothly.
