The Master Cleanse - 10 Day Lemon Juice Fast The main recipes for the fast are as follows: Lemon Drink: 1. 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed organic lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon). 2. 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup (Grade B). 3. 1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch, by preference) cayenne pepper. 4. 12-16oz pure spring water (room temperature). For more portability, you can use the following measurements to fill a gallon jug (5 Lemons/Limes, 1.25 cups of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon cayenne, fill to the top with spring water). Drink 6-12 glasses of the mixture a day for 10 days. You should also drink plain water throughout the day if you find yourself thirsty. Salt Water Drink: 1. 2 teaspoons of natural sea salt 2. 1 quart of lukewarm water Drink the entire quart quickly in one sitting first thing in the morning. You should need to eliminate in 1-3 hours, possibly a few times. What To Do While You Are Fasting: Your period of fasting is an excellent time to really relax yourself. You will likely have more energy than you might have thought you would, but strenuous activities are best avoided during this time. This is a good time to relax, read books youve been wanting to read, watch movies, and have simple engagements with friends and family. Activity-wise walking is good, exercises such as Yoga and Tai Chi are also good. When we are leading clients through a pigu fast, or other types of fasting, we recommend they perform a particular qi gong routine called the Tai Chi Dao Yin. This routine is just a few simple movements and will help energize the people when they need it and stave off cravings. This is also a good time to perform some simple meditation techniques. Breaking the Fast: At the end of the fast you need to ease your body back into digesting food, so initially some juices, then soups, then steamed vegetables, and finally whole foods. Start with having approximately 4 ounces of orange juice mixed with the same amount of water and drink that a few times during the day. In the evening you should have a vegetable soup (vegetable broth) made from seasonal leafy and root vegetables such as kale, beets, carrots, celery, potatoes, some cayenne, some salt, etc. Focus on drinking the broth, not eating the vegetables - although you may have some. On the second day increase the amount of orange juice to 8 ounces, still mixed with water and have more of the soup. On the third day have the juice in the warning and then start eating normally, possibly restricting meat, fish, eggs, bread, tea, milk, and/or coffee for another 1-3 days.
