HOW TO MAKE THE LEMON DETOX DRINK.
As part of the Lemon Detox Diet program, the Lemon Detox drink is consumed. The drink consists of the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™, fresh lemon juice, cayenne pepper and pure water.
• Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™ - The most important ingredient. A combination of the purest South East Asian palm syrups and Canadian grade C maple syrup. The natural tree syrup gives us energy during the cleanse in the form of an easily digestible carbohydrate and a high level of potassium.
• Lemon Juice - Lemons have been used for thousands of years for their cleansing value.
• Cayenne Pepper - Cayenne pepper is great metabolizer. Cayenne pepper also adds a nice zing to the drink.
• Pure water - The use of clean, pure water carries all of the ingredients through the body, giving the body an internal bath and carries away all of the released wastes and toxins. It also keeps the body hydrated during the Lemon Detox Diet detox.

How much should I drink?
During the standard and optimum Lemon Detox Diet programmes, drink as much as you like. Ideally 6 to 9 glasses a day or whenever you feel hungry. People who are very physically active whilst on the program may increase their daily intake or add more syrup to the mix.
Remember that the Lemon Detox drink is liquid food. The detox drink helps support the body during the cleanse by feeding your body with energy from the natural carbohydrate content in the syrup.
Fluid intake is the key to the program. The detox drink will satisfy your hunger and give you energy.
What else can I have on the Lemon Detox diet?
For optimum results we recommend that you do not eat any solid foods on the standard and optimum programs.
The ‘relaxed’ version allows you to eat solids but will take you much longer to cleanse. 80% of customers will do the standard or optimum version
We recommend you drink at least 1-2 litres of water in addition to the lemon detox drinks. Drink the laxative tea in the evening and the sea salt water drink in the morning.
If you feel the need for variety, then once or twice a day you can drink a cup of herb tea or freshly squeezed citrus juice (orange or grapefruit). Peppermint, rosehip and chamomile teas are useful complements to the Lemon Detox drink and make a nice contrast. Peppermint tea especially supports the cleansing process, cleanses the palate and neutralizes any mouth or body odours that may arise. Teas and juices should only be sweetened with the Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup™, if at all, and do not use or add any dairy products
Why is it best not to eat solid food during a detox?
The single most important part of a detox program is not eating solid food. Some people worry at the prospect of going without solid foods, yet such fears are groundless. Not eating may sound daunting, but it is much easier than you think. The Lemon Detox Diet is a based on consuming liquid food. It is not a fast. A true fast is complete abstinence from food of any kind. The Lemon Detox drink, however, is a liquid food, energising the body while you take a break from solid food.
It is very important not to burden the body with solid food during the Lemon Detox program, as it hinders the cleansing process and reduces its effectiveness. Most detox diets that promise an internal cleanse whilst still consuming food will not do as well as complete abstinence from food. Here's why:
Food contains chemicals and additives, so consuming it will add more toxins during a fast. This hinders your ability to release the accumulated toxic build-up present in your body.
Eating requires a lot of energy to digest, assimilate, and eliminate. This is energy intensive, and your body is not able to rest and restore. When you stop eating, your whole body is at rest. This is when the body allows itself to restore balance. In short, your body becomes rejuvenated.
The cleansing, weight loss and other claimed health benefits occur as a result of undertaking the whole Lemon Detox Diet program. The food products will provide nutrients for nourishment while undertaking the Lemon Detox Diet program. The Madal Bal Tree Syrup, bee pollen or other food products sold in conjunction with the Lemon Detox Diet program do not, when consumed by themselves, make you lose weight and do not provide any health benefits.
