The lemonade detox diet (aka Master Cleanse, Maple Syrup Diet) is one of the healthiest, but toughest diets to be on. Once the 10 days are over, you will feel renewed, healthier, and very pleased with your accomplishment. But getting through those 10 days can be tough. To make it a little easier, there are a few motivational tactics you can use to help you achieve your goal.

Look how far you\’ve come. Seeing results can be very inspiring and boost your drive to continue with the lemonade detox diet. However, this tactic should be used sparingly, as it can become a habit all too easily. Try to limit this step to once every couple of days to keep your confidence up.

Visualize yourself succeeding. Each time you picture yourself reaching your goal and imagining all of the benefits that completing the diet entails, you will build up reserve confidence that you can use when you start to lose hope. Might sound crazy, but it works.

Recruit a partner. Drumming up support from a colleague can be very beneficial when trying to push through the cravings and hunger pangs. Ask a spouse, friend, or relative to join you in your quest to detoxify your body and build a stronger bond in the process.

Express yourself. There are many outlets today including journaling, yoga, and blogging. Creating a blog is free and is a great way to keep family and friends updated on your progress, as well as connecting with other dieters and encouraging those who come later.

Reward yourself. Make a deal with yourself that each day you follow the diet, you will reward yourself with 1 item at a store, will rent a movie, or will do something else that is enjoyable. Doesn\’t hurt to get your mind off the diet either!
