Beyonce made Master Cleanse diet popular. The diet then nicknamed after her name.

Master cleanse became extremely popular after Beyonce promoted the diet in Oprah Winfrey shows in 2006. She dramatically lost 20 kg in 10 days with master cleanse. As a matter of fact, Master Cleanse also known as lemonade diet isn't new. This detox regimen was developed in 1940 by Stanley Burroughs who then published The Master Cleanser, first distributed in the 1950s. Beyonce diet is a nickname for the Master Cleanse diet after Beyonce made it popular.

Master Cleanse is basically a liquid diet used for detox and weight loss. No foods during the program. You just drink lemon juice which mixed with maple syrup and cayenne pepper the whole day for 10 days, and nothing else! Naomi Campbell is another celebrity swear by Master Cleanse to attain her stunning figure.

It's good just to clean out your body once in a while.' 

Master Cleanse may sound appealing for a drastic weight loss. For me it's actually a great kick start to break bad eating habits and start eating healthy. Stopping the master cleanse properly is highly important. A sudden overload to the digestive system after a long inactivity may acute attacks. This is a quick guide from Freedom You to help you adjust yourself, especially to your organ to return to normal activity gradually after Master Cleanse program ended.

Six Quick Guide to Breaking a Master Cleanse Diet

1. Increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. 

Taking raw fruits and vegetables for the first five or six days will allow the body to gently wake up the digestive system. To break a fast and gorge on meat, bread or junk food will be disaster.

2. Eat slowly and chew your food well. 

Saliva has enzymes that assist in digestion.

3. Do not overeat! 

Discover the amount of food that your body needs to live a vibrant, healthy life.

4. Make juices during the breaking period. 

Juices are gentle nourishment to the body. Most continue to include juice in their daily routine, for the rest of their lives.

5.  Educate yourself on how to begin a lifestyle of healthy eating. 

Fasting is a wonderful new beginning, a foundation for a lifelong, healthy diet.

6. Never feed your emotions. 

Discern the difference between cravings and hunger.

Final thought
Master cleanse is not for everyone. I've tried it but only survived for 2 days. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher add to the growing list of celebrities who have also tried the infamous Master Cleanse. But they both quit before the 10 days period is over. This diet plan can be quite a battle of willpower, I know.

How did you feel before, during, and after the cleanse?

How to Detox Your Body? Use a Foot Detox Pad. Is it a Scam?

To have a quick fix on detoxifying our body, foot detox pad became a popular choice this day. Detox Foot Patch is claim to fight toxin and restore internal vitality overnight. It's contain Tourmaline, a mineral found in the rainforest in Brazil which is said to improves circulation and detoxification in your body. How far is this true? Ed Zimney, MD in his writing slam a campaign as such.

They make a big deal about how the pads go on clean and white and come off dirty and brown. What else would you expect from applying vinegar-soaked adhesive gauze to the bottom of your feet? It’s bound to pull off dead skin, dirt and debris - but toxins, parasites, cellulite, heavy metals, and the like? No way. I’m sorry, but you can add your comments below if you think I’m closed-minded, unknowledgeable or otherwise deaf to a new miracle cure, but these things are just not coming out of the bottoms of your feet! No I haven’t tried them and no I have no hard data to back up my assertion that they don’t work, but here it is anyway: they don’t work! The skin doesn’t work that way, the lymphatic system doesn’t work that way. The immune system doesn’t work that way. There is just no physiologic mechanism for these types of things to pass through your skin, regardless of what you might apply to it (even “double-distilled bamboo vinegar!) - Ed Zimney, MD for Everyday Health

There are a lot of imitate product this day that will give you the same result. Apply them to the soles of your feet before sleep. The next morning, you wake up you will find the clean and white patch before has turn into a brown and dirty color. The brown color is said to be a toxin extracted from your body. When use repeatedly, it is said that you will soon find the patch is no longer shows a dark color as it was in the first day. It means, the toxin in your body has reduce.

Do you have any experience using foot detox pad? I did tried foot detox pad before for an experience.

On the first day, the patch turn brown and dirty.

On the second day, it was brown and dirty.

On the third day, it was brown and dirty again.

On the fourth day, it produce the same result - brown and dirty again. My husband asked me, why the color isn't changed? Is that mean my body is not cleanse yet?

I am interested with Aidid Mu'addib's experiment in his blog how the detox foot pad works and response in a different circumstances.

Foot Detox Pad

Tap the foot detox pad with the adhesive tape (included)

He fills his baby's cup with a lukewarm water

...and the foot detox pad on top

5 minutes afterwards...TADA! The pad has turn into a brownish color. Is that means the lukewarm water is toxic?

If you have a different opinion or experience with foot detox pad, I would like to hear from you. After all, the best way to detox is by watching what you eat and practice a healthy living.

Spoken:
Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
