Recently, Beyonce Knowles lost 9 kgs in merely 14 days. She did this for a role and had to completely remodel her figure in a short time. She relied heavily on the Detox Drink to achieve her desired weight. Let us go over her recipe.

The Detox Drink:

Fresh spring water - 8 oz.
Natural maple syrup - 2 table spoons
Lemon extracts - 2 table spoons
Cayenne pepper - a pinch to taste

Blend all the above and have them hot or cold.

Points to be noted:

• The maple syrup must not be the flavored one.
• Lemon extracts must be pure & freshly squeezed with out any preservatives.

Here are the further details:

• One has to fast on a pure liquid diet for 7 - 14 days, depending on the resistance power.
• 8 - 10 glasses of the drink are necessary each day.
• The key idea is - when ever you feel hungry you just pick out one glass of the drink.
• One serving of the drink is 8 oz. in quantity.

The benefits:

• The maple syrup provides a balance of all minerals & other essential elements.
• Fresh lemon juice is rich in vitamin C & potassium. These dissolve the mucus & the waste.
• Cayenne pepper is meant for taste. It also stimulates the heating effect.
• Cayenne pepper also helps in increasing the rate of metabolism, cleansing & elimination.
• You can have some protein shakes along with this detox drink in case you are not able to resist the hunger.

How ever, Beyonce Knowles admits that, 'this is not a very sane diet option. I took it up exclusively for a film, knowing that I have very less time on hand. Such a crash diet brings back the weight the moment you start with the normal food. It is also not a very healthy advice for the people at large.
