The Master Cleanse Diet The Master Cleanse, also known as the Lemon
Cleanse and the Maple Syrup Diet, is a dieting program created by Stanley Burroughs in 1941 and made popular by Peter Glickman
who promotes Burroughs' regimen to a modern audience. Burroughs states that it is a detoxification program that aids in the
removal of harmful toxins from within the body, as well as a reducing diet for loss of weight, and a cure for ulcers and "every
kind of disease," resulting in "the correction of all disorders."
The Master Cleanse claims to
be a way to cleanse the body of and remove the cravings associated with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and eating. "Coffee,
tea, and various hot drinks." The cleanse involves drinking only made from fresh fruits or vegetables. No solid food
is eaten for the entire cleanse. The Master Cleanse is technically not a fast, and proponents say it is more gentle on the
body because it replenishes when during a dry spell. According to proponents it is recommended to be on the cleanse for a
minimum of ten days, but some people stay on the cleanse for longer periods of time, even as long as 45 days to 90 days when
you can't lose weight. The Master Cleanse will make you will lose weight, the diet, however, is not used for weight loss,
but for health purposes.
