The Lemonade Diet

When we finally become sick of being sick. When we have finally had enough of being less than our best. When we arrive at the realization that real and lasting health is not just our birthright, but our responsibility. When we admit to ourselves that we have been denying ourselves, robbing ourselves of vitality. It is then, and only then are we ready to take the first step of kindness, which is to forgive ourselves for this undoing of health - and this is the first of many courageous steps we take in reclaiming our health and vitality.

We need to accept the truth as the authority.. Rather than authority as the truth...

It is my hope here to impart to you information through my experience, so you may make as well an informed decision as possible for you to find your own truth in regards to "The Lemonade Diet", and whether or not it is for you - As we all know too well.. That the truth will set us free! Learn How To Detox The Right Way.

Modern life, with all it's spoils, offers a host of benefits to civilization. Today the large majority of us in civilized societies live a lifestyle of comfort and material enjoyments which where beyond the wildest dreams of the rich, just a short handful of decades ago. Such is the incredible legacy of our forebears. Human ingenuity and inventiveness has given rise to technological and scientific wonders that enable us to communicate more openly and freely than any previous period in history. We have mapped the human genome and developed the sciences that enable us to live longer. Indeed medicine has strode in leaps and bounds in the last twenty years alone.

Yet all of these marvels can add to naught if we do not have the vitality to actually enjoy ourselves at the simple and everyday level. Our hectic lifestyles and increasingly busy schedules place stresses upon us, demanding more of our attention and more of our time. Our health wanes somewhere between fair to average as we turn to "quick fixes" that supply an immediate need, without providing us with real support. We have become dependent upon coffee, energy drinks, and the like. Yes, anything that gets us through the day. Our diets are lacking, we don't drink enough water and are generally so tired by the day's end we barely have the energy to prepare a wholesome and nutritious meal - Let alone exercise. We are therefore more likely to go for convenience and taste, because there seems to be never enough time.

It's no wonder there is an alarming increase in childhood diabetes. It's no wonder we are becoming overweight, lethargic and sick. We fill our bodies with fats that are not good for us. We eat far to much salt ladened fried food. Not to mention those "little treats" we graze on during the day, or the generous serving of dessert at the end of a meal.

Yup, we start of on our gastronomical journey the day we are born and our cultural identity informs our dietary base for the rest of our lives. For the most of us there is nothing quite like "mum's" home cooking.
Just like the wholesome meals that we enjoy so well, a great deal of learning and effort has gone into the meal that lays on the table before you - Detoxing then is a process too. But, the "event" of the detox is the decision to perform this service for yourself and the time frame needed to perform it.

This then is my attempt to introduce you to the concept and the need of "conscious" detoxification of the body, as an essential factor in achieving and maintaining optimum health - Whatever your cultural norm. This is where you will discover - How To Detox The Right Way.

. The Teeth - A carnivore's teeth are almost always long, sharp and pointed. Their teeth are designed for the task of piercing into flesh. Man, an omnivore (meat and plant eaters), man's teeth are similar to that of a carnivores. Man's, as well as other herbivore's teeth are not pointed, but flat
edged. These type of teeth are used for biting, crushing and grinding.

. The Jaw - A carnivore's jaw move up and down with very little lateral (sideways) movement. The jaw actions of an omnivore are similar. These types of jaws are designed for the tasks of shearing, ripping and tearing flesh and swallowing it whole. An omnivore swallows their food whole with minimal chewing or with simple crushing before swallowing. The human jaw, as well as the jaws of other herbivore's cannot shear. But have good side to side and back to front motion. These are jaw movements are necessary for extensive chewing, crushing, the grinding of grains and other high fibrous foods. Animal flesh cannot be crushed, ground and chewed without some degenerating process such as roasting or frying.

. The Saliva - The saliva of a carnivore or omnivore does not contain digestive enzymes. Man's, as well as the saliva of other herbivore's saliva is alkaline, it contains carbohydrate digestive enzymes.

. The Stomach - The stomach of a carnivore secretes powerful digestive enzymes with about 10 times the amount of hydrochloric acid than a human or herbivore. The pH of their "stomach acid" is less than or equal to "1" with food in the stomach, for a carnivore or omnivore, which means that the pH is highly acidic. The pH of humans or other herbivores on the other hand, ranges from a level of 4 to 5 with food in the stomach. So, man by design must prepare his meats by cooking or frying method before consuming them. Bacteria such as E.Coli, salmonella, campylobacter, trichina worms [parasites] and other pathogens would not survive in the stomach of a carnivore such as a panther for example.

. The Small Intestine - The small intestines of a carnivore or omnivore is three to six times the length of its trunk. This is so designed for rapid elimination of food that rots quickly. Man's small intestines are 10 to 12 times the length of our body, and winds itself back and forth in random directions. This is a tool designed for keeping food in it for long enough periods of time so that all the valuable nutrients and minerals can be extracted from the ingested food before it enters the large intestine.

[NOTE : It is the job of the stomach to break down food to the stage where it can be further digested and the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine]

. The Large Intestine - The large intestine of a carnivore or omnivore is relatively short and simple, like a pipe. This "passage" is also relatively smooth and runs fairly straight to allow fatty wastes, high in cholesterol, to easily pass through it before the food digested by the small intestine, starts to putrefy. Man's, as well as other herbivore's large intestines, or colons, are puckered and pouched, they are an apparatus that runs in three directions (ascending, traversing and descending), and are designed to hold food wastes that were originally high in water content. That is why we should drink a couple of glasses of water a few minutes before a meal, and several minutes afterwards, but never during. The purpose of the large intestine is to extract fluids from these wastes once all the useful nutrients have been extracted by the small intestine - when the long journey through the small intestine is over. Which is a very big job indeed. Foods that are high in fat and cholesterol, foods that have been putrefying for hours during their long stay in the small intestine tend to get stuck in the pockets that line the large intestine, causing improper nutrition, as the small intestine can not do a proper job. So it's about the quality of the foods we eat. Not the quantity!

Finishing the Master Cleanser Diet is not an easy task. For some people it will be the most difficult thing they ever do. Because of this most people never finish the entire cleanse.

But we're not going to let that happen as we're here to succeed!

Take note of these steps and don't attempt to start the Master Cleanse without following them...

First you need to make the effort to get yourself into a the right frame of mind. You should prepare yourself at least 3 days before you go on the cleanse.

You can think of this step as the pre game warm up. You will want to psyche yourself up, and put yourself in a peak mental state. If you follow this advice you'll be at the point where you can't wait to start the cleanse.

This is an absolute must, most people starting the lemonade diet skip this part - They roll out of bed in the morning and decide that this would be a good day to start a 10 day detox. This is a recipe for failure.

Here's what you should do, starting at least 3one week before you actually go on The Lemonade Diet.

1. Mark your calendar for the day you intend to start the diet.

Use a bright colored marker of your choice. Use the entire calendar if you need to, this is an important day and writing it down will help cement it in your subconscious. This will also act as a countdown - something to look forward to...

2. Get yourself a brand new notebook, and write down all the benefits you will receive by going on this diet. Do Not Censor Yourself.

This is for your eyes only so write down all the ways your life will be better by finishing this cleanse. It can be physical things like weight loss, or abundant energy. It can also be emotional things like self confidence, or perhaps attracting love into your life. It can be anything as long as it's positive.

3. Plan activities for the free time you'll have while on The Master Cleanse.

It's important to keep yourself occupied so you don't think about breaking your diet and eating so make sure you have a full calendar of low impact activities like reading, movies, spa appointments, or anything else that's not too strenuous to keep your mind occupied.

Another tip: if you're going to read or watch movies try make sure they're uplifting stories about people who were triumphant under dire circumstances. That is if you're into that stuff, you can watch slasher films or professional wresting if that's what it takes to keep your mind off food.

4. Absolutely, without fail remove all temptations and potential traps from your path to success.

Now, it's the night before the big day, you should be itching to start this diet and make big changes in your life. But first you need to go through your house and get rid of anything that might sabotage your diet. I'm talking about... Food!

You can donate it, give it away, or toss it in the trash, but do not keep it your house. If you live with people who are not going on the cleanse with you tell them they will have to go eat elsewhere because for the next 10 days your house is to contain nothing but the required items for the diet.

Do not skip this step. You might think you have the will power to not eat that package of thin mint cookies now, but 7 days into the diet I guarantee them cookies will be calling out to you in your sleep, and having to look at them every time you go into the kitchen will be maddening. Get rid of all the food in your house, trust me on this one.

Don't underestimate the power of these 4 steps. For many people It's the difference between success and failure.

When you take a good look at what's in your tap water you'll see why owning your own water filter is important to your health. And if you think the Government is taking care of you think again. Here's what the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) says about drinking water standards:

What the EPA is saying is that, yes, your drinking water is polluted, but you shouldn't worry about it. I don't know about you but if there's even a small amount of lead, human feces, chemicals, or pesticides in my drinking water I'm going to be concerned.

To see exactly what's allowed in your drinking water, and how it can damage your health the EPA has a list of the contaminates, how much they allow in your drinking water, and how these things can harm you.

If reading that website doesn't convince you to own a water filter nothing will.
The Domestic Water Filter I Use And Recommend

After spending a lot of time researching and testing water filters I went with the Wellness Water Filter System because it uses filtration technology that not only filters the water but energizes it before it reaches your lips, and the Wellness Filter has a very low cost per gallon compared to other water filters.

Wellness Water Filters are sold direct to consumers from their website at Wellness Filters

The Wellness Filter is very easy to install and inexpensive when compared with other filters available on the market these days, but the main reason I choose it was that it works. Unlike low quality charcoal filters that only remove odors from your water the Wellness Filters efficiently removes almost all traces of the most common contaminants found in drinking water.

You can probably tell how passionate I am about my Wellness Water Filter, it's because I never knew how bad my water really was until I tasted water filtered by The Wellness Water Filter. It's water as nature intended.
