7 Day Detox, 14 Day DetoxBad
I will admit, I did the diet for six days and was starving for the whole time and thinking about just an apple or a piece of watermelon. Yes I am within a healthy weight range but did wanted to use those extra kilos after childbirth. I thought I would give it ago. It did nothing for me I did not lose any weight probably 1 pound. It left this really fold taste and probably smell in my mouth. I believe detox does have its places but for people with unhealthy eating habits to start making better choices. But starving your body is NOT the way. Star...Read more
t walking, playing sports or some physical actvities, eat natural and healhty foods. Don't diet and then go back to eating drunk. Lemon Detox as weight loss solution is the wrong way to go and dont be fooled by the detox bit weight loss is what they are selling. FINAL REVIEW lemons are good for you and can help you to lose weight by increasing your Metabolism. Cayenne pepper is also fine it too increases you metabolism. However the lemon detox diet is a complete waste of time. It is a starvation diet for people that are overweight, it might help you to shed a few kilos but it is NOT a good weight loss method.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

This diet was not as hard as I thought. The lemon drink tasted better day by day. Day 1 and 2 were difficult, I was tired and had a constant headache. By day three I was much better and on day 5 I felt brilliant. The salt drink is digusting. I tried it on the first morning but couldn't drink it so I replaced it with the senna tea, which was actually nice. I constantly had the runs but the feeling at the end is worth any discomfort. Not eating for a week was definitely more of a mental challenge than anything else. I rarely felt hungy, but I cra...Read more
ved food because of the taste I was missing. In fact i thought about food constantly. I lost 3.5kgs in 5 days and I'm wanting to eat healthier after doing this diet. I'd probably do it again. It works. Quick easy way to lose weight. No cooking for a week is a nice break Need to stay VERY close to a toilet, particularly in the mornings. The salt drink is absolutely vile.

The salt water drink is disgusting. I didn't do it!
I did the lemon detox last year and it was great. I lost about 6 kilos. Unfortunately I made the mistake of 'crashing' off it once I re-introduced food to my diet. I was angry with myself and vowed I'd do it again without making that mistake. So now I'm on day 8. I've only lost 3 kg and was hoping for more but let's see after day 10. The first two days are hard going. Hungry and headaches but the further you go the easier it gets. After day 4 it's smooth sailing and you know you've already done so many days it would be mad to stop. The ...Read more
drink itself I find fine, The saltwater thing almost made me throw up. I substituted senna tea and it had the same effect. There's no way I could do this detox with that salt drink. I got good results last time without it so my advice would be just have senna tea which they supply in the kit. Overall, I know it has it's critics but it works! Easy to make up. the salt drink was grossSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

If your goal is to Detox and to lose a few Kilo's along the way then you will achieve it on this diet. I hated the Pepper additive and salt drink so I just simply cut them out of my program. Lost 5.5 kilo's in 5 days. After the diet I put on 1/2 a kilo in the first day or so (I assume relining my empty stomach..or something), and have remained stable since...ie: lost 5 kilo's in 5 days. Diet was tough for the first 3 days, but after that I felt good and the subsequent two days were realitively easy (except for the craving to eat, not out of hu...Read more
nger, but simply the craving to eat something...anything !) The drink, to a certaing extent, does take the hunger out of your day, but there is no real substitute for a good BBQ. Please don't confuse this quick-win diet with a change of lifestyle. You WILL lose weight, what you do after the diet is upto you. It Works The salt drink and the pepper.1 comment
Did you replace the salt water drink with something else? What was it?

4 kilos in 4 days
I'm on my 4th day of the LDD. I admit I have lost 4kg in 4 days. WOW!
It seems to simply melt cellulite to non existant.
However, I am craving food all day, every day. I'm not hungry (if I'm being honest) but when I cook for my family, it KILLS me. Just the smell of food, makes me pretty grumpy and snappy.
I'm going to try to do 7 days, and if I can, I'll continue to 10. But honestly, I want to sleep alot, just to escape wanting food.
On the upshot, atleast now I'm craving healthy food, not take away and chocolate, but grilled chicken, avo...Read more

Quite good so far
Pros: Easy to make the lemon detox. Tastes quite nice.
Cons: The salt and water.
I am on day 3 and have lost 1 kg so far. I'm planning to do it for 5 days only. I still have to cook for my family and therefore sometimes feel like eating the food as well so far kept from it. I am surprise that you can live without eating for 2 days so far. I did not take the senna tea as I did not buy any, I am just drinking green tea.
Inexpensive, easy to make the lemon detox

Day 1 of the detox
I have been doing weight watchers fro 12 months now and have only lost 22 of the 40 kilos needed so I was hoping to shift 6-7 quickly with the detox to help me stay motivated.
Day 1 has been awful. The salt drink is difficult to say the least and took me over 40 minutes to drink. The lemon drink is ok at first but it smells like wet dog and even though it goes down alright and stops me from feeling hungry, I dread having another glass each time.
I feel so tired and the constant headache is a killer - I am sure I have caffeine withdrawals ...Read more

Its difficult but worth it. You'll feel great by the end of it.
I'm about to do the detox again. Did it early this year, and though the first couple days were super hard, by day three i felt awesome! I'm doing it again as i'm feeling bloated and the extra weightloss will help with an event coming up. By day 3 i felt so great that i incorporated short 20min walks which i dare say helped in weightloss but i wouldn't recommend you overdo it, just take it slowly(e.g We'd bought some new weights at the time and i was helping move them.5 mins in, and i was ready to pass out!) Yes you will feel like crap the first...Read more
two days, there's no denying that, so don't be fooled into thinking you'll feel great instantly. I'd say every day after though you'll feel like god and the better you feel, the more determinated you are to follow through. I substituted the disgusting salt drink for green tea, worked just the same! Lost 6kgs in 7 days and it does help you get into the frame of mind of eating healthy. My first meal was an apple! It was like heaven! You will majorly crave texture of some sort because of the consumption of so much fluid. On the upside to this, even a leaf of lettuce will have awesome appeal to you. It really does adjust your eating habits if that's what your seeking. Don't need to cook for the week!Bonus in my books! You feel light and energized and great after. A test to your will power The salt water, you just need to swap it for green tea and that works just the same! The constant craving for texture throughout the detox!Possible headaches, body aches etc for couple of days. I would recommend seeing your doctor first in the event you suffer major side effects from starving your body.You have to ease into eating again after, but thats also a pro!Similar opinion?

Excellent
I did the detox last year and about to again this week im feeling fat and tired, i loved it the first time, I was feeling tired all the time I had a very bloated belly my skin was freaking out with red pimples all over my chest so i did it for 10 days yes the first few were really bad but i must say after i completed the detox well i just felt great! i did loose that belly about 7kg`s all up, i felt very light on my feet lots of energy plus my skin and hair felt and looked fantastic, i highly recemend it,but as some have commented you do have to be committed to it for you to see results, i for one am looking foward to it.
its a quick way to feel great!
just the first few days

The results are amazing!!!
I have finally completed the 7 day detox and am pleased to say I lost 4kgs. The first two days were hard but as the days went on it become easier. I did everything by the book even the salt water flush (yuck) I would say though this diet is not for everyone especially the faint hearted as it takes alot of determination and will power to make it to the end but after all is done your left feeling healthier and if your lucky a bit of weight loss. I will definitely be doing it again!!!!
Lemon drink was nice and I did feel energized. Weight loss was a bonus!
I could never get over the salt water flush. Felt like vomiting everytime I drank it but it must be done.

I only made it to 6pm on the first day. I started out fine as I normally don't eat breakfast. By lunchtime the hunger pains had begun & a slight headache. In all the reviews I read it said you wouldn't feel hungry. By 2pm I was very hungry & my headache was so much worse. By 5:30pm i felt like I was going to faint. My head hurt so much I couldn't function. I had to eat a sandwich at 6pm. I went straight to bed, my head felt like it was going to explode, I had the shakes & felt really sick in the tummy.

Bad
I have only done the detox for 4 days, currently my joints ache, I have mild headaches each afternoon and although I do not have any feeling of hunger per say I do have the feeling to taste something else apart from the lemon drink. It is boring to continue to have the same thing day after day. I will not be doing it past day 5 and I look forward to eating a balanced diet again. I guess it is OK if you want to lose a couple of extra kilos in the short term but it is not something I would recommend or be doing again.
Easy to make up, and does not taste too bad.
Mild headaches, achy joints, tiredness, loose bowel movements after the salt water solution. Finding it difficult to sleep.

Huge waste of money. Customer Service is disgusting, the company is full of money hungry vultures that pry on vulnerable people with weight concerns. You would be better spend the money on someone that is a specialist in weight loss.
The drink looks nothing like in the advertisement, in looks like runny poo. Very expensive. Shocking taste. Salt water flush is disgusting. Senna tea give you cramps.

Lost 4kgs which was great, but I quickly gained it all back again. Don't buy this product it starves you for a week for the cost of $100 and makes you feel horrible and weak! Waste of money and time!

I think this is just an expensive dodgy experience with bulimia. The senna tea and the salt stuff are really just laxatives, my experiences after the salf drink were not pretty at all... The lemon and syrup drink (which looks vile and tastes as it looks) is just a way to hydrate the body so that it can actually "flush out" everything inside via the senna and salt thing. There is absolutely nothing positive about this product at all. If you are thinking about buying it, you better have a nice comfortable bathroom..
Everything. Let's face it this is just a gimmicky fad

ext 5 days.. I am aiming for 10 days. I have already stock up on fruits and all my ingrdients for my vegetable soup (Sqaush soup) to ensure I don't eat junk at the end of the detox. I hate the salt water. Also I alternate ground ginger and cayenne pepper or i put a pinch of both for variety.. I am actually topping up on my lemon, as I don't like sweet jiuces i like the lemony taste the stronger the nicer. another thing I am having a cup or two of pepprmint herbal tea or a bit of freshly squeesed grapfruit or orange juice when I feel the urge to eat and that helps.. No alot of juice like 80z that's way too much maybe 4 oz juice twice a day if needed..Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

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.

Yes, every morning for 7 days.
