Beyoncé Knowles has followed a juice fast and lost 10 pounds! The diet that she followed was very simple and quite effective, especially for short-term cleansing. The actual fast is known as the master cleanse fast. People usually follow it to heal the body. The amazing thing about this fast is that you can lose weight super quickly. But, it is definitely not as simple as it may sound. But, the benefits are amazing. All you need to do is be motivated and do it with conviction.
Steps: Here’s how you can do juice fasting just the way Beyoncé did.
- Firstly prepare yourself for not eating any solid food during the fast.
- Make sure that you store plenty of fresh lime, grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper and of course loads of water.
- Each time you drink the juice, mix two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, two tablespoons of maple syrup and just a little pinch of cayenne pepper to about 8 ounces of water.
- Make sure that you drink filtered or purified water. Tap water might reintroduce toxins and chemicals making it slower to flush out the toxins.
- Each day during the fast, drink a minimum of 6-10 glasses of lime-maple-pepper juice.
- Each time you are hungry, instead of eating something replace it with drinking the juice.
- In the mornings and just before bedtime you can drink a cup of ‘salt water bathing’ or a nice herbal laxative tea.
- For the ‘salt water bathing’ take two teaspoons of sea salt and mix it with a quart of water. Drink this every morning and night.
- Drinking the sea salt water will help the body to flush out impurities.
- You can follow the diet for a period of 10 days or more. However, the maple syrup — lime-pepper juice is considered to provide enough nutrients that can last up to 40 days.
- During the fast, it is advisable for you to avoid taking any mineral supplements or vitamins. But, if needed you can take them.
- After completing your fast, make sure that you do not quickly move back to eating solid foods. The body still doesn’t get used to eating solids.
- Break your fast by drinking only orange juice for about two days. The next two days eat fruits and vegetables, or even vegetable soup is considered to get your body get used to solids again.
Beyoncé juice fast is an amazing and effective way to lose weight quickly. However, during the fast one might feel a little dizzy and weak because your body is deprived of food. A few people may not find this fast that easy and can possibly fall sick.
