I've been told that freshly squeezed lemon juice melts cellulite...well, I have been having my own homemade lemonade...just pure water and 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (no sweeteners) for over two weeks now. And wow! My cellulite is disappearing! But how long will this last? And is this really true? Or is this some type of myth and my cellulite is disappearing from my different forms of exercises I have been doing lately? Well, if it's true and not a myth, I'd suggest anyone to do this that is trying to get rid of cellulite!

It could also be all the water you are drinking, along with the exercise. Our bodies are also using all those little fat deposits for energy! But I the water/lemon juice thing is also healthy. I think I read where it is a staple of the Fat Flush Plan (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.) Glad you can drink it w/o sweetener . . . I'd HAVE to add Splenda. Whatever WORKS!

Yes Alida - It is one of the staplesof the Fat flush plan. I tried it for 3 weeks and I felt good after doing it.

I'm reading The Fat-Flush Plan book now and she makes some compelling arguments...
The lemon is supposed to aid liver health and increase bile production which is necessary for fat burning/waste disposal, so I could see how this would be true.
I have been doing the lemon juice in warm water for about a week now, but I may step it up a bit. How often/how much are you drinking this?
TIA,

filley--the 18 1/2 plus are a girls...not misses size...I made that same mistake with some jeans a while back at the thrift store...found myself really ahppy I tried them on before I left...they were on the misses rack..said 14 1/2 but were WAY too tight...I was like WHAT the heck...I wear a 10 and these are still too small...then got to looking--theya re a girls size. Like the kids slim but for the bigger girls but they have NO thighs.

According to Ann Louise Gittleman, the author of Fat Flush Plan, you should drink 8 oz. of hot water with the juice of 1/2 a lemon upon rising.
That is what I have been doing.
I may add a cup of the same each evening before bed...
Sheyla, How many times a day do you drink your homemade "lemonade?"
Summer

FYI - a half a lemon only has about 2 net carbs and that's including the pulp.
There are 16 Tbs in one cup.

I was drinking about 6 10 oz glasses per day...but I dropped it down now to about 2 10-oz glasses per day...and with it being cold here, I drink it warm. Absolutely delicious! I was on the Master Cleanser - which is a detoxificaton - and that's why I was drinking so much. Of course, you're supposed to put the Grade B Maple Syrup in the drink to get all your nutrients while doing the Master Cleanser, but I just literally could not tolerate the sweetness of the syrup...and even now, I drink the lemonade with just pure water, 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon and a pinch of cayenne. That really cleanses the system.

Sheyla

Okay Sheyla... what is the Master Cleanser do for you(I have an idea, but please explain)?
