The Lemonade Diet, also known as the Master Cleanse, is a short-term detoxification diet that involves consuming a mixture of lemon juice, water, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. This liquid diet is typically followed for 10 to 14 days and is intended to cleanse the body of toxins while promoting weight loss. Participants of the Lemonade Diet do not consume solid foods during the cleanse. Instead, they drink the lemonade mixture several times a day, along with a nightly herbal laxative or a morning saltwater flush to aid digestion. While some people report weight loss and increased energy, health experts caution against long-term use due to potential nutritional deficiencies.
