It is recommended that this amazing diet should be followed under the professional supervision of a nutritional specialist.

The deep cleansing that takes place as a result of the diet gives a profound sense of well being and spiritual connection.

After detoxification has taken place, the body is able to function at optimum levels on every plane.

Organs of elimination work effectively, sensory organs are enhanced, the body takes on a supreme and beautiful radiance. And excess pounds are shed if the body is at all over weight.

When top quality, organic maple syrup is used in the lemon detox diet, the body receives all the nutrients it requires for an effective, short course of deep cleansing.

This regime is the perfect preparation for retraining your eating habits and promoting life long, supreme health.

It is absolutely vital that after completing the lemon syrup detox diet, you return to healthy eating gradually.

Start with vegetable broths and gradually introduce vegetable stews, easily digestible protein, grains and pulses.

Make sure to continue drinking adequate amounts of pure still water and herb teas.

Gentle proteins include yogurt (plain, live, low fat), bee pollen, almond milk, tofu, quark or low fat cottage cheese, lightly cooked egg, quinoa, and well cooked lentils.

Gentle grains include well cooked millet, barley, quinoa (also a protein food), short grain brown rice and oats.

It is also important to include plenty of warm, cooked vegetables now that winter is with us (salads in the summer.) Some fresh fruit is also recommended daily.

Make sure to include a little protein for breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner.

Follow a well balanced and delicious, healthy diet and you will stay youthful, beautiful and healthy for life!
