Burroughs’ diet has picked up many devotees over the years, despite skepticism from the medical community. Instructed to drink six to twelve glasses of lemonade throughout the day, fans of the unique cleansing experience claim that it can also help to cure a number of ailments. This includes those classified as mucus diseases, such as allergies, asthma and the flu. Skin disorders and cholesterol are also wiped away by this not-so-typical fast. But it’s not as simple as it sounds. A whole host of problems can accompany this diet, including dizziness and, in severe cases, even vomiting. But the diet claims that this is not due to any lack of vitamins, as the lemonade provides everything that the body needs. It is simply a matter of all the poisons now circulating in the bloodstream. To counter feelings of sickness, the diet recommends drinking a laxative tea, which helps to stimulate bowel movements.
Ok...please correct me if I'm wrong. For the diet, all you do is drink lemonade all day, no food. Then, you drink a laxative to help you "drop the kids off". This is just my personal opinion, but I think that sickness feeling comes from not eating all day for several days at a time. I mean, come on. Sometimes I go all day without eating due to being busy and I get light-headed just from that! This diet sounds like when I get sick and can't hold any food down, I can't eat for days and subsequently lose a lot of weight. This sounds the exact same. Stuff coming out but not going in Not healthy. I swear I hope I never have to diet b/c I just couldn't do it. I love stuffing my face with fatty foods. And I bet you my Potbelly's sandwich today tasted better than her lemonade
