The Maple Syrup Diet Fad

Celebrity + weight loss + unusual product = instant fad.

BeyoncĂ© Knowles claims she lost 20 pounds by consuming a concoction made up of maple syrup, lemon juice, water and cayenne pepper. Of course it’s not just any maple syrup but an organic “Madal Bal Natural Tree” syrup (UK distributor / USA distributor). Consequently sales of the product are soaring (src).

The maple syrup is part of a “detox” or fast.

According to Beyonce:

“I lived on water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 14 days. It was tough; everyone was eating and I was dying.”

These kind of diets are foolhardy indeed, and it is not the first time that maple syrup has been mentioned by someone of celebrity status.

I’m not a big fan of all the media hype diets. But a simple clensing diet works great for me. I’ve been using the one at www.ModelHerbs.com for a while and it does help me loose weight when I need to. I’m a model and when I have a shoot planned I start early and I’ll loose a dozen pounds or so pretty fast. It’s a simple fiber cleansing using instant fiber fruit juices and a pill in morning and night. Yes you loose a lot of body water sitting around, but that’s the point isn’t it? check them out!
