It's not lemonade first off, nor is it a diet. \"The lemonade diet\", a.k.a \"the master cleanse\", is a detox. It is made up of fresh lemons, organic grade B maple syrup, and Cayenne pepper.

Answer

I have no idea what "the lemonade diet" is, but putting "lemonade" and "healthy" in the same sentence doesn't work. How does lemonade provide any nutrients whatsoever? You want to lose weight? Stop eating and drinking junkfood, including lemonade. Stop consuming high-saturated fat meats such as beef and pork, stop consuming fatty cheese, stop consuming enriched wheat flour, stop consuming dressing, fried foods, soda, ice cream, sour cream, cookies, candy, dairy fat.

You should be able to justify everything you eat nutritionally. Being healthy and a good weight is not just about what you don't eat, it's about what you do eat. Consume fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and sources high in lean protein,monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. If you go on a diet, you need to go on it for life to maintain those results.

I'm assuming you are referring to the "Master Cleanse" or "Lemonade Cleanse" created by Stanley Burroughs. First of all, it isn't a diet. It's a cleanse. It's meant to be done for any time period from 10 - 40 days. During that time, you would only drink the lemonade, salt water, and herbal laxative tea. It's meant to give your digestive system a break and flush your body of accumulated toxins.
