3.9kgs lighter, 100% happier!!!
Hi there,
I weighed in at 63.8kg on monday morning just gone.... it's now been 6.5 days of the lemon detox Master Cleanse and i'm now 59.9kg!!!
My goal was to get under 60kg so im cheering!!! Today i had vegetable soup for lunch as i felt a little weak and shakey... but other than that the 6 days on just the lemon detox weren't too bad!!!
The first day i couldnt stand the taste of the drink and forced myself to keep going.. by the second day and losing a kg overnight your mind takes over and you can do anything!
I put less pepper in my m...Read more
ix as it was too strong with the 2 pinches... Day 2-5- were the easiest.... by day 5 i was pumped to go to day 10... but Day 6- was very hot and i didnt drink enough so felt weak this morning... i tried to go the whole day with just the lemon detox but thought i should listen to my body and start weaning off.... Let's hope it stays off :)Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

So far so good
Heres the problem, I'm a chef. I spend all day surrounded by food! But this is day three and its getting easier and I'm not even feeling hungry anymore. I really can't do the salt water thing but since it just acts as a laxative im thinking that's not a problem. If you are feeling really low on energy and hungry you can do what I have done and drink a low carb no sugar protein supplement. As long as you mix it with water it won't interfere and you won't pass out.
Cheep if you by the stuff yourself.
You get very tired

Wouldn't recommend it........
If you plan to do this diet the 'intense' way, you really need to be mentally prepared. Drinking a LITRE of salt water every morning was just disgusting and made me go to the toilet (diarrhea) numerous times throughout the day. Lost a couple of kilos when I needed it but easily gained it back. Take the week off work if you dare to do it......
Disgusting salt water, going to the toilet a lot

Hoping for a miracle :-)
So, I've stacked on about 5kgs over winter. Started the diet on Monday, it's now Wednesday. My partner is on it with me. First day, after a 600ml bottle of the salt water, I was running for the toilet. Whoever knew what a great laxative this was? I haven't found it too difficult, so busy at work I don't think much about hunger, harder when I get home though. I have a slight nagging headache but have dropped 2kg in three days yeah! My partner has come own with the flu, he's struggling, not sure of his weight loss but he's sticking with it. Pla...Read more
n to stick with it for 12-13 days, up until we hop on a plane for an OS trip. That's the motivation, drop about 5 kgs before the holiday. Will check back in later. easy to follow, convenient Salt water is hard to drink, I only manage 600mls3 comments
Day 5 - not as easy as I read with others and my weightloss has stalled at 2.5 kgs but I'm determined to keep going.....
if you are already slender it is not as affective...so if you are a size 10-12 already you will struggle...this is a fasting method more for overweight....hope that helps
I've been doing this detox for 7 years twice a year. The first time was the best and I did it 10 days that time. This time I've just done 6 days only and feel wonderful. Two people said my skin was g... Read more

Lemon Detox Diet
Well I'm on day 3 and I really didn't think I would make it past day 1 as I really love my food but I'm feeling ok about not eating as I'm not hungry. The only problem I'm having is lower back pain - anyone else suffer from this while on the diet ?? I've lost about 1.2 kgs so far so can't wait to see what weight I am at day 10 - I don't consider myself as overweight.
I'm not feeling hungry at all
I'm suffering from lower back pain

I do not rate this detox.
I didn't even last a whole day, I was ok in the morning but by the aftenoon I was so sick. I had a killer headache and couldn't stop throwing up. I have honestly never felt so sick in my life. I was really lookinf forward to this detox as I wanted to quickly drop a few kilos before my wedding. Has anyone else had this problem????? I think I will just stick to healthy eating and exercise.

Lemon Detox Diet 2012
Well it is my first day on the LD. Feeling alright and not hungry at all. I like the taste of the drink but added a bit too much pepper, will have to be more careful next time. A couple of years ago when I was at uni, I was drinking and eating crap way too much and my body decided to detox itself. I basically couldn't eat anything without feeling sick and only craved water for a week, ended up losing 6kgs. Basically I know that this program will work if I stick to it and I am looking forward to going through with it. I am doing the 7 day intens...Read more
ive one. I am 167 and weight 64, so I just want to get down to about 60 to my ideal weight. I lead a pretty busy lifestyle working lots of hours on my feet and do exercise a bit, I want to see if I can keep it up during the detox. Also some of the things I went and bought from the shops: 9 lemons 1 pack of organic green tea in case I want to replace the salt water drink (I haven't tried it yet but I presume it tastes vile) 1 litre water container to take it to work a pack of probiotic mini drinks to aid digestion a pack of large pads as many say that you might have "accidents" after drinking the seena tea and salt water. I am not looking forward to that but better be safe than sorry .. :/ Anyway, I will make sure to continue my review on day 3 and let you know how I progress.

OK
so long as you drink the lemon detox drink, you dont feel REALLY hungry, but still slightly hungry. the biggest challenge is breaking food habits as the standard version eliminated all food from diet from 5-7 days. Try to stay away from anyone cooking, any smell of food nearly sent me into depression. i managed to last 6 days, but found this to be the best i could do as the lemon drink had gotten old and i no longer wanted to drink it. However, i feel really good, my skin is really clear, and my stomach no longer looks and feels bloated, and my...Read more
clothes fit alot better. id estimate iv lost about 4 kgs in 6 days. however, after you stop the program you are ment to slowly go back to eating solid food over a couple days of eating soups and fruit juices, this had been my downfall. after not eating ANYTHING for 6 days... i turned to chocolate though now feel really guilty, but its so hard after soo long you just want to eat a big bowl of pasta! Overall, a good diet, if you can stick it out, the first 2 days are the worst so advised you start it over a weekend or when you dont have to work. MIND OVER MATTER!! i liked the taste... for the first 3 days. does make you feel more energised and your body is not deprived of nutrients. You can see the difference in the weightloss, am waiting to see if it stays off, though. DO NOT STRAY FAR FROM A TOILET! Also there was a struggle to drink 1 litre of salt water in the morning (flushes toxins out of body). Senna Tea (another laxitive) gave me stomach cramps during the night. And FOOD CRAVINGS!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Bad
I'm on day 2 of the 7 day lemon detox diet. On day one: from 8:30am to 1:00pm i had been to the toilet 15 times The salt water makes you piss from your a**. As the afternoon hits, you start to feel better and make fewer visits to the toilet. Id probably recommend you wear a pad or a liner, just incase of any accidents and also def start this diet on weekend. The drink itself does fill you up. It taste a little like honey lemon tea. Make sure you stir tho or shake the pre-made drink everytime or else when you get to the end of the drink you'd be...Read more
hit hard with all the cayenne pepper at the bottom. I still have food cravings. Day two: through out the night i woke up twice to go to the toilet. From 6am till now (10am) ive had constant visits to the toilet. id say probably not as bad as the morning of day one. Nice hot showers are relaxing. My body is not sore tho but i was thinking of getting a massage today, just to ease the tension and axiety im feeling. This is my first ever detox i have tried. I cannot state if this diet is any good as yet. I'll post up another review once i've finished my 7 day program. But for now i have to select an overall rating, so i'll start off with a 2. nothing yet The morning periods have been the worst. I dread drinking the salt water. It makes me want to vomit.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

lemon Detox
I did a variation of this with straight lemons, Cyane pepper and seena tea. Lost 13 kg in 10 days, and i was only 20 kgs off my bmi perfect weight. Of course without the syrup i had to dramatically increase my lemon intake, so it was more like monofruiting on lemons and hot powder. But i lost more than my friend who did this version by about 4 kgs (she was heavier than me and should have lost more really), plus i was able to exercise and move without wanting to faint. It tasted like absolute sh*it though, i choose to drink it through a straw. ...Read more
But anyways my friend still lost 9 kilos on this version and that's nothing to sneeze at so anyone wanting to test there self control and shed some kilos should definitely try this and if you really want to test yourself ditch the syrup and up the lemons intake dramatically. It's not as hard as it looks, getting started is the hardest part. Great noticable weight loss tool, energy if done right. cost of toilet papper =|, tastes like [censored word removed].3 comments
I would like to know how you did this variation, can youn elaborate on the process? Daily routine perhaps?
thanks
Yes I would like to know this also...

I'm 5'4 and weigh just over 8 stone which is about a size 8 - but i just wanted to lose weight. I've never been overweight, but i've always had that little bit of meat on me, but i want to be a fitter so i needed to lose the pounds to make everything that little bit easier and make sure my body was functioning well. I'm now on the diet for the 3rd time on day 2... don't usually see results until tonight so we'll see! First time i done the diet i lost 3 pounds in the first day!

Good
I think it works as a detox and weight loss (although how much weight is lost purely from not eating I couldn't tell you). I don't drink the salt water flush, but otherwise I've adhered to the directions and had no problems.
I'm currently on day 5 and had planned to do the full 10 day detox. Not sure I'm gonna make it...
The drink tastes fine to me, and I like the pepper with it to add a bite. I'm not hungry at all, I think because I am drinking that much of it. 2 litres a day, plus 2 litres of water, plus a couple cups of the tea.

so its only day one but so far so good. we are only planning to do it for 7 days but a few times a year if its successful. we will report back on day 4 and 7. not sure if its a good or bad thing to start new years day being HUNGOVER at least i dont want to eat, but my head is throbbing.
well the drink isnt completely disgusting, and we arent actually hungry its just after drinking so much fluid you feel like some bread or pasta to soak it up.
the salt water is pretty rank!! you think 2 teaspoons in a litre is nothing but its stronger than you think.

It was good im planning on doing it again soon! Ill just make sure i drink enough fluid this time haha
I loved it the first 2 times i did it! I had such a clear mind and ridiculous amount of energy. My flat mate and I even went for 1 hour walks in the evening and i felt great. I lost 4 kilo and she lost 6 (6!!!!)i felt so so good that i didnt even WANT to eat [censored word removed] food after it.
However the 3rd time I did it was in middle of summer and i was out shopping without enough liquid so i thought i was going to pass out and ate a burger.. I dont mind the taste of LD but got sick of it after a few days.

Lemon Detox, quick fix!
This is the 2nd time I've done this detox. The first time I did it for 11 days and lost 7 kilos. I dropped from a 10 to a loose 8 dress size. Keeping in mind I'm only app. 10 kilos overweight, 23yrs and a tiny 4'11. I kept it off for about 3 months and then got greedy. (I am an absolute glutton with food and can easily eat 2000+ calories of junk daily). However, I only gained what I lost slowly and no extra.
A year and a half later I'm doing it again for 10 days. I'm on day 6 and have lost 5 kilos so far. The first day is absolutely horrid;...Read more
headaches, dizziness, nausea, extreme hunger etc. After day 3, I have a lot of energy and the only con is my constant craving for food. I just miss texture and flavour! My motivation is the knowledge of how good I will feel after and how much weight I can lose. My favourite thing about the detox is my attitude to food after. One apple or a glass of OJ is amazing! LOL. My stomach is smaller so I can easily fill up on a cup of food making it easy to stick to a strict diet. Lemon Detox will always be my kickstart to weight loss, it just resets your body and refreshes my attitude to food! Fast, visible weight loss, energy, easy to wake up early, easy to diet after. Not enough energy for exercise, salt water tastes gross, grumpy from food cravings. I think about food all day everyday.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Good for a quick fix
I completed the 7 day detox in july this year. I did lose 3 kilos which was great, (keep in mind i was only 55 kilos before detox and 168 cm) but after the detox it was still so hard to stick to the puree vegetable and fruit juices for 3 days. The day after I ate a meat pie a few cookies, and well whatever else i wanted really. and within 2 weeks put it all back on. I did not feel tired but it was really hard to do.

My 4th day..
Overall!! Not bad, just need a lot of strength to cope through it. I had read a lot of reviews about this diet and needed quick weight loss and a good detox for my body so I thought I will try it. My first two days went very well, I wasn't hungry and the lemon drink kept me satisfied. Since my 3rd day, I wasn't hungry but craving for food and feeling very tired and lethargic and today is my 4th day couldn't find any energy in the morning to come to work but managed to do so. Lets see how I go, however, on the brighter side I have lost 2 kilos.

Questions & Answers
Sharon Robinsasked
Can I drink the salt water at night rather than morning?
1 answer
Don't drink the salt water, take the detox back and get your money back. It's a scam. 100% false and misleading.
You've been scammed, and you're not the first, nor the last. Please take it back for a full refund.
There is the possibility of physical harm from following the instructions, and there is no benefit at all.

You sure do! But if u really can't take it then having the senna laxative tea is ok :) I did the salt every second day and the tea every other..
Yes, every morning for 7 days.
