Aww hope you feel better soon...My throat feels a bit better today but I am going to give it few more days and then start again Maybe this time with less lemon juice.
Yar i m a mess...i think its most prolly nt only cuz of drinking it but also cuz of other factors. my chest is congested n i guess it wl take 1 week atleast to clear out :(
Ladies, it's a myth that lemon juice causes a sore-throat. You were prolly coming down with one. So many sore throat remedies use lemon juice, ginger and honey. Lemon juice reduces mucus and the 'scratchy' feeling when you have a sore throat.
gina,does it have to be lemon slices,or can lemon juice just do the job??iv just got back from tescos and forget to buy any lemons :( can i just use some squeezed lemon juice??n are mint leaves a must??
^ mint leaves make all the difference actually. yesterday i forgot to add mint ... and today i made sure i did ... it's really different. tastes better too.
i was avoiding opening this thread since it said "water" ... and i am super bad with it ... i dont drink water at all ... well rarely ... it's stupid, crazy and horrible ... only drink it when i am REALLY thristy, and just want water ... and that doesnt happen very often .... atleast not in winters ...
but i also avoid liquids cuz of the number of times i have to go pee anyways ...
but i just read this a day before yesterday ... and i had my second jug today ... i didnt know i could actually drink so much water ... dont know about the detox part ... will wait till someone gives any compliments ... but i am so happy that i actually have healthy pee now ... lol .. dont know if that makes sense to anyone ...
but i am grateful to this thread ... as it has opened my eyes, and bladder, to water consumption :D
p.s. how many times do you have to go pee with this amount of water? i am still scared to go too far from a loo within reach ...
Gina what do u do with the lemon and apple after the initial
one litre has been consumed? Do u throw them away or add more water to them? What r the drawbacks for following this routine more than a week?

that's really unhealthy. you have to start drinking water. lots of it! lol!
gina, i have been trying this and am on my 4th day now.
For those that began this detox water with me last Wednesday, it's our last day today! For those that began late..please complete your full week, for those that havn't tried it yet DEF give it a try!
You throw-out the previous lemon, mint, ginger and add fresh ones everyday.
All the girls that have completed the full week please answer the questions below:
One last question Gina. Lemons here in the US are pretty big, say 3". Should I still use the whole thing? It seems toomuch to me. What size lemons are you using?
after starting this 'course' i feel like i live in the toilet! its really hard esp at work! people must think i am mad dashing off to the toilets every 5 mins! lol!
i think its my 6th day. or 7th. can't remember now!
Gina I am so sorry I only did it for 4 days as I got ill. I didnt see much of a change(but I suppose you wouldnt)except I was full a lot. There was no difference in my skin. I am starting it again tomorrow and trying it for a whole week. Will let you know!
