This diet, which is also referred to as the lemonade diet has been in existence for very many years.  It has been used by people of all ages and by celebrities who all say that the diet has worked as it should and they have received the results they had expected.   The diet was created by Stanley Burroughs, who after observations realized that people were consuming very unhealthy and unsafe food filled with preservatives and even the air people breathed was polluted almost all the time.  The body can expel some of the toxins that these conditions expose it to but it is almost impossible for all toxins to be removed.  Because of the toxins left in the body, the body is almost always intoxicated and people who do not live healthy lifestyles are at an even worse situation.  They are more exposed to getting conditions such as diabetes or becoming obese or even both in some cases.

In order for the diet program to work effectively and remove all these toxins from the body, it has to be followed for about 10 days.  This period of 10 days is enough for the body to get rid of mucus, undigested foods and plague from within the intestines.  Most people who have successfully completed the program say that they feel more energetic and they are also more focused on their daily activities.  Other than that, a person undertaking the diet also looks and feels younger because they are healthier and have little chances of getting acne hence their skin tends to glow.  Weight loss was never one of the intended effects of the master cleanse diet but people on it have realized that by living healthy, they tend to shed off some weight even without working for it.  The diet involves an intake of only healthy products and very little or no fat at all forces the body to use up the fats in the body hence weight loss.

The main reason why people get into the master cleanse diet is to clean up their body and remove all toxins and wastes that have built up in the body.  Due to the healthy lifestyle this brings, people can go about their daily businesses in an easier way.  When the body has removed toxins from the intestines, the immune system is boosted and the body is better able to defend itself against diseases and infections.  This diet program is very beneficial because when a person falls sick, the body will defend itself better and the chances of even getting sick are reduced massively.
