My Lemonade Diet

The next ingredient that Stanley Burroughs wrote about in The Master Cleanser’s Lemonade Diet recipe is Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is one of the few unprocessed good sugars that provide micro-nutrients as well as calories to the body. This is important as this diet nearly eliminates all calorie intake, so the maple syrup is vital for keeping your energy up. It is high in minerals including zinc and manganese. For the Master Cleanse, Burroughs recommends Grade B because it contains more minerals than the lighter grades of maple syrup.
It is also less likely than grade A (light) syrup to contain formaldehyde. Another reason Grade B is excellent for this particular diet is that it has a much stronger maple flavor than Grade A, which helps to mask the spice of the cayenne pepper. Maple syrup provides for the body’s caloric needs even as the lemon, cayenne, and high water intake encourage toxins and buildup to leave the body. Vitamins are also provided by the maple syrup.
