We have all seen those commercials and advertisements about latest body cleansing diet or detox diets and asked, do I really need that? If you have asked yourself that question, the answer is probably yes. Doing a whole body cleanse or going on a body cleanse diet can have some pleasantly surprising side effects, including better skin without the use of anti aging products. The hardest part of detoxifying your body is staying committed to the process of cleansing your body.

If you find yourself relating to any of these symptoms it’s time to consider doing a cleanse.

• You find yourself feeling constantly tired, even after getting a good night’s rest.
• You find it hard to concentrate at work.
• You recently have had an acne break outs or skin irritation
• You are suffering from constant headaches or frequent migraines
• You are suffering from bad breathe, despite good dental hygiene
• You commonly have unpleasant or painful bowel movements

If two or more of the above symptoms describe you then it is time for you to consider a whole body cleanse or detox diet. I really want to point out something important to everyone reading, I can not emphasize this enough – Do NOT do a detox diet, cleansing fast or body cleanse strictly for weight loss. Yes, weight loss is a nice ‘side effect’ or changing your diet during a detox, however, almost all the weight comes back after you come off of your cleanse. Weight loss requires a life style change not just a diet change.

So we have decided we are suffering from a few of the symptoms listed above, and we have agreed we are not going to do a cleanse for weight loss, but to detoxify our body. The next step is probably the most important, even more important than deciding what type of cleanse to do, you must be ready to make a real commitment to seeing the cleanse through and stick to it every day. If you are ready to make that commitment then you are ready to choose the best cleanse for your body.

If you are looking at cleansing the body on the cheap I would have to recommend the master cleanse, also known as the lemonade diet. The components required to do the master cleanse are easy to come by and be found at ALL grocery stores, you do not need to go to a health food store such as whole foods to get the required materials. You have an added benefit of not eating solid foods the duration of the cleanse! Though I do not recommend starving yourselves as a way to save money, you will be surprised how much money you spend on food on a daily basis.

The items you need to cleanse your body for 10 days (recommended duration of the master cleanse)

• 100% Pure Grade ‘B’ Maple Syrup (the grade B is VERY important, also recommend going organic for the cleanse)
• Lemons freshly squeezed or natural lemon juice (I know the master cleanse manual specifically says not to use lemon juice, but it was written a long time ago and you can a good quality natural and organic squeezed lemon juice in most grocery stores.
• Water (I recommend you get distilled water)
• Cayenne pepper
• Sea salt or tea with senna leaf (again I would recommend that latter, as drinking the tea is much more pleasant and relaxing than drinking a cup full of warm salt water)

The total cost to do the master cleanse for 10 days

• 100% Pure Grade ‘B’  Organic Maple Syrup 32oz  approx $26.00  (prices vary a bit depending on the selection in your area, more than enough for 10 days)
• 100% Pure Lemon Juice 16 oz approx $6.00 (might need two for 10 days)
• Organic Cayenne Pepper 3 oz approx $3.00 (more than enough for 10 days)
• Water Distilled 128 oz $0.99 (need six for 10 days)
• Senna Leaf tea 16 bags $3.99 (depends on how often you want to drink the tea, if drinking 2 – 3 times a day you will need two boxes)
• Decaffeinated Peppermint Tea 16 bags $3.99 (this is not part of the master cleanse but I needed to give myself a treat at night before bed! plus green tea is an antioxidant and and better than most anti aging products)

The total cost is $58.91, which comes to $5.89 a day, which I guarantee is way less than you spend on a food per day. Your cost will be a little higher if you want to squeeze your own lemon juice to account for the juice squeezer and fresh lemons and a little cheaper if you go with the salt water rinse instead of the tea.

If you think this is the cleanse for you, I recommend you get a book about the master cleanse they can usually be found online for about $10.00.
