I did it. It's gross and didn't do anything but make me feel weak. The best way to "cleanse" is by clean eating. Check out thegraciouspantry.com or search paleo eating on Google.

I was so ill doing that, it played total havoc with my blood sugar I reckon. Bad times, doing that. I have heard success stories, and if I did anything wrong it was not drinking it enough and not drinking it regularly, so perhaps that's why I had such a bad time with it.

I'm on it now and getting worried thinking of all that....did you lose/gain weight after or what happened? I would have thought blood sugar would be the only thing to stay pretty normal, its the lack of protein worrying me. Thanks for your feedback in advance!

hi! I suggest you to drink green tea and to eat low fat food for a week or two. You can try Ducan Diet and to boil your meat and vegetables, or Oshawa diet. I tried Ducan, and it worked. But you have to be very very carefully not to gain more than you lost, after you start eating sweets or fruits.

Detox - what rubbish.

Just drink lots of water if you want to "detox". The lemon cleanse diet is a terrible fad diet that will eat your precious lean body mass.

I've done that cleanse!! If you are going to do it you should try to do it during a time when you do not have to exert yourself very much. soo dont exercise while on it and allow yourself a lot of resting time. It is absolutely essential that you slowing ease back into eating, and that when you do eat again you eat very lean, and very healthily. It is good for cleansing your body and detoxing, but you must be dedicated to your eating habits after doing it or else your body will gain more fat instead of losing it. good luck

Hi there,

I was stuck after loosing 5 pounds, so I went back to my old morning routine. I got it out of book years ago and it helps. I have lost another 3 pounds in 2 weeks.

Take the juice of a lemon, 1 ounce Aloe juice( from the whole leaf), 1 tsp honey, 10 drops of ionic mineral drops. and add 6-8 ounces of water. Shake well then drink.

If you exercise right after, it not only helps cleans it also activates your Lymphatic system.

GOOD LUCK!

I agree that "clean eating" is usually the best way to go. However, I believe there are times when you REALLY do need to give your digestive system a break. For instance, I'm extremely lactose-intolerant, but often eat dairy anyway. If I've eaten a lot of dairy (especially cheese), eating even "clean" meats and lots of fibrous veggies can actually exacerbate my stomach problems. Sometimes I just need to let the toxins/chemicals/lactose/etc. get out of my body before I can go back to eating clean.

I have never heard of the lemon cleanse, but there are ways of detoxing while still getting nutrients you need. I like to do LOTS of water, fresh-squeezed juices, veggie purees, and smoothies using just ice, fruits, veggies and sometimes added nutritional complexes. Sticking mainly to liquids and keeping everything as raw as possible CAN be very detoxing-- I've experienced good things like extreme positive mood changes, newly gained motivation to eat better once I get OFF the "fast/detox/juice feast," and instant loss of inches. But I've also experienced negative side-effects, like symptoms of the flu that came come on your third day of detoxing, or bingeing as soon as the cleanse is over.

That said, do whatever you like. Only you know your body, and experimenting with a cleanse here or there isn't going to kill you or make you fat (OR skinny, necessarily). But I strongly suggest staying AWAY from any Internet fad kind of diets or cleanses, as any cleanse you do should be tailored to your own dietary needs and problems.

I also find cleanses/fasts extremely spiritually beneficial and quite complimentary to my kundalini yoga practice. But overall, they shouldn't be used as a way to lose weight. I hope I didn't sound too redundant throughout this post; I just want to stress that it's OKAY to try a cleanse. Everyone will discourage it, but it's your choice. Just don't expect it to go smoothly unless you are thoroughly mentally and physically prepared, know your body, and have done plenty of research. And always have a plan for coming OFF the cleanse, slowly working back in solid foods.

I have never tried an extreme cleanse, but I heard about the lemon cleanse and adapted it around my current diet. I started drinking one pint of lemon water first thing in the morning and another glass last thing at night but whilst eating clean throughout the day. Raw lemon juice is very nutritious, full of anti oxidants, vitamin C and great for the skin. Google "lemon juice benefits" and you will find plenty of articles on the topic.

It is linked to weight-loss but you don't have to restrict yourself of food whilst drinking it! Just add it to your daily routine. I feel great since I have started drinking it. My skin is just amazing now!

Also, if you do try the cleanse or drinking it regularly, be sure to brush your teeth after you have drunk it to stop acid erosion.
