To do so Beyonce followed the Master Cleanse Diet which is also known as the Lemonade Diet or Lemonade Fast. The diet or master cleanse is a liquid diet geared at completely emptying your intestinal tract using a lemonade like juice made up of fresh lime, lemons, cayenne pepper and maple syrup.

Lemonade Recipe

Some online versions of the diet also allow you to drink Herbal or Slimming Teas in addition to the Lemonade.
