This is a FACT.
Research proves that lemons for weight loss provides several powerful benefits, including effectively lowering the glycemic index of foods, controlling blood sugar and insulin response, slowing digestion, and staving off hunger.
The cleansing and weight-reducing benefits of lemons may be the reason why stunning weight loss results are experienced by people who use the lemon-based Master Cleanse. 
The Science of Lemons for Weight Loss
Studies show you can lower the glycemic index of a meal by 20-40% just by adding a few teaspoons of lemon juice to your meal.
The glycemic index refers to how much a food causes your blood sugar to rise. Lowering the glycemic index of a food helps keep blood sugar steady — good news for controlling hunger and losing weight. Lemon juice can also lower the insulin response to carbohydrates, and slow down the time it takes a meal to leave your stomach — also key to dropping weight.
And the peel offers as much benefit as the fruit. The pectin in lemon peels helps control hunger pains, with the added bonus of controlling cholesterol.
Lemons as the Core Ingredient of the Master Cleanse Diet
For those with more than a few pounds to lose, the Master Cleanse diet is a popular and super effective option that uses lemons as its core ingredient. Many celebrities — including Beyonce Knowles and David Blaine — have successfully used this diet to drop 20 pounds or more.
Master Cleanse Basics
The Master Cleanse requires a commitment of at least 10 days, during which you drink 6-12 glasses daily of a special mixture containing:
-
• Lemon juice
• Maple syrup
• Cayenne pepper
• Water
At night, you drink an herbal laxative tea, and first thing in the morning, you drink a quart of salt water.
Complete instructions, safety information, and recipes are available on many websites, and in at least two books: The Master Cleanser by Stanley Burroughs and Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days by Peter Glickman.
