"Hi I'm Trina Sims of Green Star Herbs and I am going to address the question does the lemon cleanse diet work. Well first it depends on what you are using it for. It can work very effectively so long as we understand the goals we have in mind and how we need to use the lemon cleanse diet to get there. My favorite use for the lemon cleanse diet is simply as a recurring fast perhaps once a week or even as infrequently as once a month. Most of us in America get plenty of food and nutrition and what we lack is a chance for the body to rest, detoxify, and restore its energies in something other than focusing on digestion. So for a day or two on the lemon cleanse diet the body gets a chance to rest, detoxify while still receiving enough fluid and minerals and nutritional support to keep functioning. Now celebrities and actors sometimes use a longer version of the lemon cleanse diet specifically to lose weight for an appearance or a dramatic role. This is best done under a doctor's supervision because in this case these fasts can last as long as 30 or 40 days and you want to be sure that you are being monitored for your essential nutrition and aren't suffering any side effects. The lemon cleanse diet can be used as I say for 1 day to 30 or 40 days depending on what you want it for. Many many people who use it for a week to two weeks do so to provide themselves an increase in overall stamina, energy, mental focus, clarity and concentration helping the body to eliminate its usual overload of toxins seems to aid us in all of these areas. Thank you for your interest in the lemon cleanse diet. I hope this information has been helpful."
