PROS
1. It is proven by many. The Master Cleanse was developed over 60 years ago by Mr. Stanley Burroughs as a detox program. Master Cleanse has been used by countless people in an effort to remove toxins from the body, restore health and lose weight.
2. It’s cheap. Financially, a lot of money is not required to participate in this program. Requirements include fresh lemons, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and the correct recipe.
3. It has a pleasant taste. Unlike other diets, the flavor is natural and pleasant to the palate. The Master Cleanse has been dubbed the lemonade diet. Ironically, the master cleanse is not diet nor does it contain lemonade. It only contains lemons and maple syrup which gives the solution a nice sweet taste.
4. It’s fast. This diet plan only consists of participating for 10 days. There is no long and tiring process that can go on for weeks or months like other diet or detox plans.
5. Get results. Many who have gone through the master cleanse are confident in the results. During the 10-day period, it cleanses your body of all accumulated waste material, mucus, and chemicals that may have accumulated over the years. The result is unhealthy weight loss, a healthier body, and more energy and desire for a healthy lifestyle.
CONS
1. You follow a strict liquid diet. Taking liquid diets may take some getting used to. Your body is used to eating solid food, so prepare your body (and mind) for a new way of eating for 10 days.
2. May require a recovery period for some. Right after 10 days, your body may need time to get used to eating solid foods again. Technically, this can be considered in favor of the master cleanse, as many desire a lighter, healthier diet after completing the program.
3. Possible power loss during the program. Because you only drink liquids for 10 days, you may experience fatigue, a feeling of hunger, and a feeling of exhaustion for a few days. This is the result of the body wanting the diet it had been accused of. Despite this, your energy should return within a few days. In many cases, some have experienced double the energy and fitness.
4. Take your own and external motivation. Going without solid food can wear many people down. Mentally, you feel as if you are not eating. The Master Cleanse is designed to give you all the vitamins and nutrients you need during the detox period, but it can be very difficult to let go of old habits and give up without the proper motivation and guidance.
5. Bath time. You may find yourself in the bathroom a lot more than usual during some periods of the show. All excess waste and toxins are being released and there is one main way to release them.
