Many celebrities, such as Beyonce, once mentioned on an Ophra talk show that she achieved the goal of losing weight and shaping herself in this way, which triggered a wave of enthusiasm. Over the past 30 years, the "Lemon Detoxification Plan" has been proved to be effective by countless people.
This detoxification scheme is very simple to implement. It usually lasts for ten days and can be extended or shortened according to its own situation. In these ten days, your main food is a special lemon juice, which consists of fresh lemon, water, maple syrup and Chili powder; If there is no maple syrup, honey and glucose can also be used as substitutes.
The blending ratio is: 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, Chili powder110 teaspoon acceptable to your taste, and 250 ml of purified water. Mix these ingredients together and take them 6 to 12 times a day, and then you won't take other solid foods.
It seems strange, but it is amazing that many people do not have serious hunger in practice, nor do they have symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness and weakness. The only thing you have to do is to resist the temptation of good food psychologically. However, I believe it is not so difficult to think about the feeling of swallowing lightly after ten days.
Because the intake is only liquid, and there is no solid cellulose to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, many doctors suggest adding a little extra stimulation to ensure intestinal movement when implementing this detoxification scheme, such as drinking a large glass of physiological saline in the morning and evening, or soaking in herbal tea with laxative effect-of course, only one cup in the morning and evening can excrete the metabolized toxins in time.
In addition, many people may find it difficult to adapt to the sudden change from big fish and big meat to only drinking liquid, fearing that they will rebound after the end. Therefore, another bonus measure is to supplement the two transitional stages before and after fasting;
Fade in: You can spend three days preparing before fasting. You can eat solid food according to a healthy diet on the first day. The next day, the food was mainly liquid and semi-liquid, such as porridge, soup and stew. On the third day, you can only drink freshly squeezed orange juice. This will prepare your body for a detoxification plan that is close to fasting step by step from the actual diet and psychology.
E a s e-out: Before ending fasting and returning to normal diet, turn the previous ea s e-i n upside down, that is, return to normal diet step by step from orange juice. But more importantly, don't eat food that is harmful to your health easily after this. Good diet and living habits are the most important.
It is worth mentioning that because lemon juice and Chili powder have a stimulating effect on the stomach, the intestinal function is not good. It is recommended that people with gastric ulcer or hyperacidity use it with caution.
Like Beyonce, many people may take this fasting and detoxification program in order to lose weight. Because you only drink low-calorie lemon juice for ten days, the weight loss effect will of course be obvious. However, as a systematic detoxification method, the "Lemon Detoxification Plan" does not stop there. It was originally proposed as a detoxification program rather than a weight loss program.
As we all know, lemon is rich in vitamin C, which is a strong antioxidant and can help the body clean up toxins and free radicals that lead to aging. Maple syrup or honey is mostly monosaccharide, which is easy to absorb, can provide necessary energy for human body, and also has the effect of fighting free radicals; Chili powder can stimulate the stomach and improve metabolism.
Many medical studies have shown that this fasting therapy with only liquid intake can improve hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases. Toxins absorbed and deposited by your body from the outside, such as pesticides, hormones, prescription drug residues and heavy metals, can be removed during this time. Some people even claim that this scheme has helped them get rid of their dependence on coffee, cola and even "junk food". Anyway, while the metabolism is active and the appetite fades under the high temperature in summer, let's try it and see if we can turn impatience into a calm state of mind this summer.
