Beyonce Knowles uses the Lemonade Diet

The Master Cleanser, otherwise known as the lemonade diet, has been getting a lot of press recently since Beyonce Knowles admitting to using the crash diet to lose 20 lbs for her role as Dina in the hit movie “Dreamgirls.” The former Destiny’s Child singer states she was motivated to shed the pounds “to go the extra mile.”

She reportedly told China Daily, “Back in the sixties, models like Twiggy were popular and I knew Deena would have been thin then, so even though I really love eating, it was necessary to lose weight really fast because we shot Deena at 16 and Deena at 36 two weeks apart.”

The Master Cleanser, also known as the “Master Cleanse diet”, “lemonade diet”, “lemonade fast”, “Master Cleanser lemonade fast” and the “maple syrup diet”, was popularized by Stanley Burroughs as a way to cleanse, detox and lose weight. Far from being a “detox diet” the master cleanser actually causes a build up of toxins. Please see the dangers of the Master Cleanser.

According to Beyonce, “My nutritionist suggested the only way to do that was the (lemonade diet) fast.” “I would never recommend it to anyone unless you are doing a movie and it’s necessary, and you have proper help. There are ways to lose weight healthily if you want to lose weight, but this was for a film.” Not surprisingly, she states she ” was cranky” on the diet, while those around her, on the set, scarfed down Krispy Kremes.

As a weight loss solution the Master Cleanse, and all fasting-type diets, wreaks havoc on your metabolism and your body. By going into starvation mode, your body shuts down not only using available fat stores for energy, but also breaking down significant amounts of metabolically active muscle for fuel. This slows your metabolism, making your body more efficient at putting on fat when you go off the diet. This perpetuates the yo-yo dieting pattern, as dieters go on and off diets only to regain more weight later. She adds “As soon as it was over, I gained the weight back.”

Here’s the latest photo of Beyonce, when she preformed on the CBS early show in March. Do you think she weighs more now, than before the fast?

    I love her honesty. She admits the diet was unhealthy & she did it for a role. It is not a weight loss plan! I like Beyonce because she is a beautiful person who admits she has body issues and works hard to maintain her image!

    I think she looks beautiful no matter her size however when she has curves she is at her best!
    I agree that its great she is honest about her body issues and stuff.
    Its so refreshing to see a celeb that admits to being human when it comes to food.

    I love Beyonce… She seems very personable. She is human though so of course she has body issues and food cravings.
    In spite of what specialists say, eating healthy is expensive. She has the income to eat properly and time to do complete workouts everyday. Celebs’ whole lives are based on public opinion, so of course she will do whatever it takes to maintain her image. That is until she feels she has accomplished enough that she cannot be trumped by new talent. i.e. Tyra.

    I believe Bee is beautiful no matter how many pounds she looses or gains she has a tremendous body and a great personality thats what makes her a beautiful person!!!! I personally think shes PERFECT in every way!!!! And the fact that she can honestly say that she would not recommend the diet to anyone is admirable!!!!

    She has such a beautiful body shape, she’s definetely my inspiration to lose weight, I’d not like to look like a skeleton, like Eva longoria. But Bee…She’s how I’d like to look, her body I mean, her body is perfect and looks healthy!

    I was a wise choice of Beyonce to explain her reasons for being on this diet and why it would not be a wise choice if you’re simply trying to lose weight and/or be healthy.

    Although, I still thought she was most beautiful at her original weight. I understand her reasons for going on such an extreme diet, though, so I hope she finds a good weight that she is happy at yet still healthy. A person does not hae to be skinny to be healthy.

    I think she looks good at either weight. I think it is difficult for her to maintain that smaller size. There isn’t anything wrong with the lemonade diet per se, it’s basically a fast. People fast all over the word every day. It’s the concept of using fasting as a weight loss aid. The problem is that it does not correct bad eating habits, unless it is simply a tool used for a few days to break bad eating habits.

    A water fast CAN be beneficial. You probably should look up more information before spouting off how it’s bad for you. Then again, you’re probably one of the people who thinks dairy/meat consumption is okay too.

    she is so insanely pretty.

    but no, I don’t think a lemonade diet serves much purpose.

    Go for the usual high protein – low carb one.

    I suffered from stomach pain and burning mostly, couldn’t sleep well and just hated those extra pounds I couldn’t get rid of no matter what I did. Now I stumbled upon this system that is easy and it doesn’t require expensive medication or difficult exercises.
