Can anyone tell me what the lemonade cleanse is and how it works? I would like to try it.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what a 'lemonade cleanse' is but I do know that there are lots of people who will squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice with their water. My mom does this (it takes the place of her coffee which she stopped drinking two months ago). There is a chinese food restaurant that I go to, and they give you water with slices of lemon.

I think this is like a simple detoxification and liver cleanse. I believe its also good for the digestive system and for bloatedness. It can be accomplished by taking one oz. of fresh lemon juice in 8 oz. of water (or 1/2 oz. of lemon juice to 4 oz. of water) upon arising and before bedtime...although I'm sure many people do it differently. Some people use warm water (like my mom) and some use cold water (like me).

Whenever I have read about the plan, you are supposed to fast, not drink it on top of regular eating.
