Have you ever heard of the Master Cleanser Detox? Well, I think I once wrote about it a really long time ago because Beyonce did it. In case you don’t remember, let me tell you a little about it.

When you’re on the Master Cleanser Detox diet, you drink a mix of lemon, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. You drink this all day and you aren’t allowed to eat anything. You also drink a mixture in the morning and at night, consisting of salt water and laxative tea, to speed up your metabolism and give you energy. No solid food! Yuck!

If you’re wondering how this diet works, it’s simple: when you’re not taking in that many calories and not eating real food, you lose weight. Duh! If you’re thinking of doing it, though, you might want to ask Michael of Dlisted. He did it and DID NOT like it.

Okay so Ashanti did this diet for a week and lost 8 pounds. That’s a lot of weight for one week! She said not only did she lose the weight but she kept it off.

“I did the lemon-pepper-maple syrup diet for seven days. When I got really hungry, I ate fruit. I lost eight pounds and kept it off.”

Hey, isn’t eating fruit cheating? I think so. Of course, I could never just drink a shitty drink all day, that’s for sure. Give me a semi-healthy Jamba Juice with low calories and I could do that, maybe. But not cayenne pepper and syrup. Sick!

Ashanti was losing weight to promote her movie, Resident Evil: Extinction. Ashanti is still chubby looking, so I’m not sure when the picture in this post was taken. Anyway, good for her I guess.
