The Demi Moore cleanse that she and Ashton Kutcher are doing is called the Master Cleanse. This diet has been around for over 60 years and celebrities often use it to lose weight or get toned up for the red carpet or specific movie roles. If you remember Beyonce on Oprah talking about dropping weight for her role in Dreamgirls, you will remember that she also did a version of the Master Cleanse.

So far, Demi and Ashton are doing pretty good. They posted on their Twitter accounts that they were going for a walk with the dogs and that day 2 was easier than day 1. However, Ashton did want a “steak, beer and a Blow Pop” yesterday. Poor guy. The Master Cleanse is quite strict but you definitely can lose weight from doing it. So how does it work?

The Master Cleanse lemonade recipe for the Demi Moore diet is:

• 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon Juice (about 1/2 a Lemon) FRESH SQUEEZED!
• 2 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup (kind of expensive but DON’T substitute!)
• 1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper (powder)
• Ten oz of filtered water

You should drink at least 8 glasses of this per day (8 oz glasses) but you can drink more. No food is consumed while doing the Master Cleanse. In addition to the lemonade drink, you should also use a natural laxative which could be either a salt water flush, or a caffeine free tea laxative. The whole point of the Master Cleanse is to clean out the system and detoxify the body. The side result of this tends to be great amounts of weight loss. Ah Demi Moore – Cleanse and get even MORE gorgeous? She is already smokin’ hot but Iguess everyone needs to tone up here and there.

Most people stick with just doing the cleanse for 10 days but some people have done 30 or even 40 days. If you are just doing the lemonade cleanse for the first time, you should not go for longer than 10 days. Then you can ease into a light, healthful eating plan for about week and try the cleanse again. Basically, you should work your way up to doing the cleanse for longer periods of time, not just jump into not eating for 30 days if you have never done it before. Some report losing up to 22 pounds in 10 days and another lady on YouTube lost over 30 pounds doing it for 40 days. Basically, you lose the most right in the beginning, but then it slows down. Also, people tend to gain back a lot because when they are finished, they don’t come of it  properly, end up binging like crazy and pack on the pounds.

What Are the Side Effects of the Demi Moore Cleanse she is doing?

First you do have to exercise to lose belly fat.

Cardio is important for all over body fat burning, this includes belly fat. But doing some additional work such as crunches (no, not hundreds of them a day) helps too.

This website will tell you the recipe for how to make the lemonade master cleanse diet. But more than that, it will tell you how to get through the full 10 days of the lemonade cleanse diet. You DO NOT want to just learn the lemonade recipe and start cleansing without knowing what you are doing. Certainly Beyonce didn’t do it that way and there are reasons why she was successful at it and most other people can’t get past the first few days.

So if you really want to make the lemonade master cleanse diet work for you, I highly encourage you to read the info through the link and get all of the information before you start. Here’s to your success!

When the body has been overwhelmed with unhealthy foods like fast foods, sodas and cookies, then Yes, you should do a water diet detox before you start your diet plan. At one point in my life, my brain was feeling overwhelmed with all of the information it was getting each day. Advertisements, Internet, television news, school…it was too much. I went on a TV detox for 30 days to just clear things out a bit. The same idea rings true for your body. You should try some type of water detox or cleansing program to get your body back to a clean slate.

Do Cleansing and Detox work?

Cleanses and detoxing works because they can help to take away your severe cravings before you start your new healthy eating plan. It is not always easy, but the cravings do subside after a few days when you aren’t giving your body so many choices. Some people consider cleansing or doing a detox as a good way to “jump start” the new eating and exercise plan. However, you do not want to go overboard. Cleanses should not be done for more than a few days. While some might do for religious or other reasons, for the average person, just a day or two of cleaning out will suffice. Keeping it short also helps you remember it is “doable”. Anyone can do anything for a day or two.

Whether you choose a water diet detox, or the lemon pepper Master Cleanse, an at home cleanse or even Jillian Michael’s New Cleanse, it’s a great idea to help you start your diet on the right foot.
