By Linda Riley

Master cleanse diet is a diet that requires the individual to drink lemonade cocktail for as long as the master cleanse program lasts. The recipe behind the master cleanse diet is very easy to follow and formulate. All you need to do is just to drink at at least 60 ounces of lemonade a day but limit yourself to 120 ounces. As master cleanse is a process of removing the waste in your body, you will experience lots of water loss. Hence, you also need to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. A simple guideline to follow on the amount of water to consume is to drink an equivalent of your weight in water.

A single glass of master cleanse requires 10 ounces of filter water, two table spoon of maple syrup, two tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/10 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. However, if you prefer to make a daily serving of 60 ounces, you will need 60 ounces of filtered water, 12 tablespoon of maple syrup, 12 tablespoon of lemon juice and teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
