Another day, another diet? It sure does seem that way. The latest diet du jour is the Lemonade Weight Loss Diet.
This 14-day diet is calling itself the new “Master Cleanse“, (which, in my book, isn’t something to brag about), and promises drastic weight loss of 5 to 17 pounds by just taking two tablets with each meal.

The manufacturer claims that the tablets aid digestion, speed the metabolism, reduce hunger and cleanse the colon.
Just like most crash diets these days, it has a celebrity behind it. Kym Johnson of Dancing with the Stars endorses the Lemonade Weight Loss Diet on its website and in a recent press release. With the holidays just around the corner, Johnson claims it’s her secret to keeping the weight off without giving up her favorite holiday foods.

In order to bounce back from your BBQ indiscretions, you are going to have to start now, scale it back and keep reading.

Summer and lemonade go hand-in-hand. That may partly explain a current spike in interest in the so-called Lemonade Diet.

What is the Lemonade Diet?
The Lemonade Diet, created by Stanley Burroughs more than 50 years ago, is a fasting plan that will definitely shed pounds quickly. Its followers drink anywhere from six to 12 glasses of lemonade daily. There’s a recipe that includes maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
