Naturopath Stanley Burroughs, in 1941, chalked out a diet plan for losing weight in 10 days, and yet stay energetic and healthy. It doesn’t involve any long physical regimens, nor any strenuous activity. He stated that, having lemonade for 10 days will help us in cleansing the body and also lose weight. Lemonade which is made of lime, helps the body in cleansing itself from toxins and also it develops immunity in the body. Immunity in the body is increased because of the vitamin C present in the lime.
Lemonade diet has gained popularity in recent times, as many nutrition and detoxification experts have approved the effectiveness of this fasting on the human body. Lemonade helps in clearing toxins and spreading internal healing of the body. Lemonade fasting mainly helps you in detoxification of the body. You feel more energetic and young once your body is removed of all the toxins. Controlling other food intake is very essential for the fasting to give fruitful results.
Solid food should be a strict no-no to you if you are planning to have a lemonade fast. Plan your fast beforehand and once you have planned your fast, start minimizing food intake gradually. This will help you to mentally get tough and execute your fasting properly. Start by having small quantities of vegetarian snacks, then completely stop having solid food.
