Beyonce
Knowles is a superstar. With 16 Grammys under her belt, and having been ranked Ninth
among the most influential and powerful musicians in the world by Forbes
magazine, Beyonce is married to Jay-Z who, the hip-hop mogul, with a confirmed
wealth of over $450 million. However, even she had to go in for a diet regime
to fulfill her aspirations for a hit movie role.
The Beyonce lemonade diet refers to a
liquid mono-diet developed by Dr. Stanley Burroughs as a cleansing regimen in
the 1940s. He designed this diet to provide rest to the digestive tract and to
help the removal of poisonous toxins from the body and decongest it.
Notwithstanding that, this process did not target weight loss as the primary benefit;
it worked well as an effective side effect. Beyonce breathed life back into the
lemonade diet by her miraculous 20 lb weight loss. During the Oprah
Winfrey show, Beyonce confessed that the secret of her weight loss for
“Dreamgirls” was her lemonade diet. Several
models, weight loss aspirants and television personalities have taken this cue
forward on the weight loss platform.
The top pop star Beyonce resorted to
this diet to sculpt her shape and curves for her upcoming film "Dreamgirls,
"released as a great hit in the year 2006. As part of her two-week “master
cleanse” lemonade regime, for weight loss, she drank daily, six ten-ounce glasses of a blend of filtered pure spring water, juice
of lemon, organic maple syrup with cayenne pepper. Beyonce lost 20 pounds, and
proved a great hit in the movie in her role as the voluptuous Deena Jones. This
diet is more of a fast to help you lose weight, but doctors are not impressed
about its healthy configuration and implementation.
The recommendation is to consume six to twelve
servings daily for a period of 3 to 10 days. The secret of success here is the
absolute purity of the water. Do not take water for granted just because it is
freely available. You must ensure that the water used in the recipe is free of
chemicals like fluoride and chlorine. Normally they mix a very small percentage
of chlorine in drinking water to kill the bacteria. However, you may see
negative results when you use water with chlorine that could also possibly
cause harm to your body cells. This is why using pure filtered water is a
crucial element in the lemonade diet.
