When can you NOT do the detox

The detox is an all natural program and very safe, however there are a few circumstances in which it is not safe.

  1. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers - due to the nature of the detox, it is not recommended to undertake the lemon detox while pregnant or lactating. While detoxing, the toxins in your body are released into your blood stream, this can then pass on these toxins to baby through either the placenta or the milk.
  2. Type 1 diabetics - due to the high fructose content of the lemon detox it is not recommended to undertake the detox if you are type one diabetic. Type 2 diabetics should consult their doctor before undertaking the program.
  3. Medication - if you are taking medication, a doctor should be consulted beforehand to ensure that there is no risk in detoxing. 
  4. High blood pressure - the detox is safe to do if you have high blood pressure, the salt water drink should be omitted and replaced with senna tea. If medication is taken for blood pressure, a doctor should be consulted first.

Bee Pollen - After the Lemon Detox



After doing the detox, it is important to ensure that your body is given enough nutrients.
Lacking of essential nutrients can cause irrational cravings, which then lead to weight gain. The cleansing process is followed by a recovery stage. The body must receive (particularly in recovery) all the nutrients that are needed for it to function well. A wholesome diet, as always, is the most important factor to achieve this. To achieve maximum benefits, add Bee Pollen to your daily diet to boost your nutrient intake.

Bee Pollen is one of natures most complete super foods when it comes to its nutrient profile. It has 25% protein, which is a complete protein (meaning that it contains all essential amino acids), is rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, fatty acids and enzymes, can improve energy and stamina and much more.

It is recommended to take one teaspoon twice a day. Do not heat it. In order for it to be best absorbed by the body, take it via the sub lingual method (putting it under your tongue).

Different versions of Lemon Detox

There are 3 main different versions of the Lemon Detox Program

1. FULL BODY CLEANSE

This is the classic and most common version that has been used by thousands of people throughout the world. Of all the cleansing versions, this version is the quickest and most effective way to cleanse the body. This version involves substituting all meals with the Lemon Detox drink. 

Breakfast: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Lunch: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Dinner: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 

This version can be done from a minimum of 5 days. The ideal duration of the Lemon Detox cleanse is 10 days on the Full Body Cleanse. 

Inventor, Stanley Burroughs recommends doing the Lemon Detox Diet cleanse for 10 days as this will ensure the body is well cleansed. By the time you get to the 7th day you'll most likely feel so good that going a few extra days will be easy.

2. RELAXED VERSION 

The relaxed version allows the body to purify itself at a slower rate, while still taking in some solid food. This version substitutes breakfast or dinner(or even better, both) with the Lemon Detox drink. 

Breakfast: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 
Lunch: Healthy meal 
Dinner: 2-3 glasses of the Lemon Detox drink 

During this program version you should abstain from eating sweets, processed foods, red meat, fried foods, white bread, refined flour, dairy products, coffee and alcohol. These are all food products that tax our natural digestive/cleansing system and inhibit the body's ability to deal with previously stored toxins and wastes. 

The relaxed program works by lengthening the time each night that the body can cleanse. This offers the body more time to rejuvenate. 

But this version should be done over an extended period, at least two weeks, and it should be understood that while the effects of the relaxed version are not as dramatic as the Fully Body Cleanse version, performing the Relaxed Version for an extended period of time will yield great results 

3.THE 50:50 VERSION

This version is a 9 day detox which consists of 

3 days on the Relaxed Version 
3 days on the Full Body Cleanse 
3 days on the Relaxed Version 

This is the easier way to initiate yourself into the detox if you have never done it before. It also suits some people's social commitments better.

Bee Pollen

According to researchers at the Institute of Apiculture, Taranov, Russia, “Honeybee pollen is the richest source of vitamins found in Nature in a single food.”


Bee pollen is the male seed of a flower blossom. It is gathered by the bees, then mixed with the honeybees digestive enzymes. It is literally the food of the young bee.
Bee Pollen is considered as one of the most whole and nourishing foods as it contains almost all required nutrients that a human needs. It is such a simple food to include into your diet, but can have such profound health benefits.
Bee pollen contains an amazing 25% percent protein and is rich is trace elements, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids and enzymes. It also boasts immunity enhancing properties, and is high in antioxidants. It could almost be considered as nature’s multivitamin. Bee Pollen is an extremely good option for vegetarians, to boost their B-vitamins (even B12 which is almost exclusively found in animal products) and protein intake.
Besides from these benefits, it may assist with allergies (except bee allergies!), weight management, improving athletic performance, improving fertility, upon countless other things.


Nutrient deficiencies are recognized as a wide and growing problem in society, due to the imbalanced eating habits, and the depleted nutrient level in food due to poor soil quality and growing conditions. Because of this, it is important to include as much nutrient dense food in your diet.

Our Bee Pollen is from remote Western Australia, with no chemicals or pesticides used in the area, and when collected and processed, is not heated high enough to destroy vitamins or enzymes.

Fibre for health

Fibre is the only macro-nutrient that is indigestible by humans, yet it still has such an important role in health.  Fibre is an indigestible carbohydrate found in plants, which is essential for maintaining digestive health. It also helps to stabilise blood cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. The combination of these qualities means that moving from a low fibre to a high fibre diet can aid weight loss efforts immensely. With this, also comes lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and higher HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). It is important to slowly introduce fibre if your current diet is low in fibre, as a quick increase can lead to digestive discomfort, it is also equally important to increase your water intake. Fibre rich foods include grains such as wholegrain bread and legumes, fruits and vegetables. The recommended intake is approximately 30g. Through an ideal and balanced diet this can easily be achieved.  


African Mango is a great way to increase natural fibre intake in your diet, with a bonus of assisting in weight loss and lowering LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol. It is a simple addition to your day that can make a huge difference to your health.
