Def Jam Diet: What the. . .???

Recently there has been a lot of "buzz" about the Def Jam diet. I had never heard of it and I counldn't find much information about it. Supposedly, it is the diet that Beyonce uses if she wants to lose some weight. I am always looking out for a diet that might work, so I did a little investigating. I have to say that this diet sounds rather unpleasant. It seems that this diet has been around for quite a long time since it was developed by Stanley Burroughs in 1941; originally for helping to heal stomach uclers. There must be some level of success with this diet, also called the "Lemonade Diet" because it is still being used and diet kits to get you going on it are easy to find on the internet. Anyway, I found a recipe for the stuff you are supposed to drink. Here it is:
2 Tbs Lemon juice
2 Tbs Genuine organic maple syrup
1/10 tsp Cayenne pepper
10 oz. hot or cold water
Sounds delicious, doesn't it, but if it works, why not? Anyway, there is more to the diet than just drinking this concoction for 3 to 10 days and it sounds like it could be dangerous if you don't go about it wisely. At any rate, the "Def Jam Diet" or the "Lemonade Diet" appears to be a diet that could work if you follow it properly. I found an informative website that you might want to visit if you are considering this extreme way to lose weight. Please go to www.mastercleansesecrets.com to see if you are really up for something like this, and as always, consult with your doctor before doing this or any other extreme diet.

I did this diet the first time about 12 years ago. It seems to have grown in popularity since then. It's not really a diet that you can do long term but doing it once or twice a year will actually increase your overall health as well as help you to lose plenty of weight. It's just important to do the research on the most effective way of doing the cleanse. Try this book here
