There is some false information being spread out there in Internet land that Beyonce used the lemonade diet pill to lose weight…but Beyonce did NOT use the lemonade diet pill. She used a version of the original Master Cleanse to drop pounds for her role in Dreamgirls, but the lemonade diet pill is different.

There are a lot of versions of the Master Cleanse because it is so daggone old (over 60 years) that people have had a lot of time to “tweak” it. So this has resulted in a lot of confusion about celebrities such as Liv Tyler and Robin Quivers (Howard Stern show) and what specific version of the cleanse they used to lose weight. Some people are even referring to it as the Beyonce cleanse, Beyonce diet or Beyonce lemonade diet.

What is the difference between the original Master Cleanse and the lemonade diet pill?

We all learned on Oprah that the Beyonce diet, Master Cleanse, was what she used to lose weight for her role in Dreamgirls. But not only Beyonce, other celebrities such as Liv Tyler and Robin from the Howard Stern show have used versions of the master cleanse to drop weight. However, Beyonce later came out stating that it was really intense and she wouldn’t recommend it unless you had a movie to get ready for. Anyone have a movie to get ready for? Didn’t think so.

So what is it?

The Beyonce diet, master cleanse, is a detox that was developed by Stanley Burroughs in 1941. Since then, people have been using the cleanse to detoxify their bodies, clear skin and gain better mental clarity. A side effect of the cleanse was rapid weight loss. The ingredients for the drink are lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper mixed with distilled water. These ingredients as a combination pack a powerful cleansing punch to detox the body and provide minerals. This was consumed for 10 days with no eating. You can imagine the side effects from this type of diet would be pretty severe. From headaches to fatigue to hunger pangs.

Well the good news is that Kym Johnson, from Dancing with the Stars (she won last season with Donny Osmond) is promoting that she uses the Lemonade Diet pill to keep her trim dancer’s figure. The Lemonade diet pill takes all of the benefits of the ingredients from the master cleanse and puts it in pill form so that normal people can get the benefit of cleansing too. Best part is, there is an eating plan so there is no starving. This will help to ensure that what you burn is fat, not muscle.  So how much can you lose? The product says you can lose up to 17 pounds in 14 days!

If you have a wedding, reunion, cruise, or event coming up where you want to look lean and trim and not a lot of time to do it in, the Lemonade Diet  Pill might be a good choice for you. It’s good to know the Beyonce diet, master cleanse, can now be used a little more sensibly for regular people.
