Tag Archive for 'Beyonce'

So i got an email awhile back from one of my favorite newsletters, Black Beach Week. In it was a story about how Beyonce lost like 20 lbs in 10 days from this ‘lemondade’ diet. This lemonade diet, the Master Cleanse Diet, is a 10-day fast that is used for detoxification and weight loss.

The Master Cleanse Diet was developed by Stanley Burroughs, an alternative health practitioner. In 1976, Burroughs presented this diet in his book, The Master Cleanser.

I work out 3-4 days a week and try to eat pretty well, but i still couldn’t shed pounds and get rid of my love handles or beer belly. Anyways i thought i would try this diet because it worked for Beyonce and hundreds of other people i have found on the internet.

With the wealth of information out on the internet i will not repeat the how’s of this diet, but give my insight on a daily basis whilst on the diet.

Day Before

I spent today rounding up the ingredients. Not hard to find if you have a Whole Foods. Whole Foods has organic lemons, but you’ll have to buy them by the bag. Also, grade b maple syrup is very pricey. This ain’t Aunt Jemima.

I have decided to eat light today because i figure i wanted the 1st morning poo to be easy. so i went to my favorite jamaican spot and got a beef pattie and cocoa bread. This was the only meal of the day.

I wasn’t hungry, but i had a sweet tooth for some candy; i’ll live.

At the end of the night i had a cup of Senna Smooth Move herbal laxative tea and went to sleep.

My weight today is 192 lbs. See you tomorrow.
