Nothing is random.Someone bumped up a year Old post for an agenda.
You think that is random?
Not even Brownian motion? :noway:
My Brownian motion is quite regular thank you very much.0 -
I know this is an old thread, but I'm glad it's here, because I wanted to ask about it too.
I gain between 4-6 pounds of bloat each cycle, and it SUCKS. I'd like to be able to get that water weight down a little faster if possible, because I get uncomfortably bloated, lasts around 11 days for me.
But I started drinking water with a lemon wedge in it. Would that suffice? Suggestions? Would lemon-water be good enough?
These ingredients don't sound too bad. To me, they sound kinda tasty cuz I love stuff that tastes a little tart or sour.
I also like green tea. Someone on YouTube used 2 green tea bags instead.
Even if it just flushes only a couple pounds of bloat after my cycle instead of having to wait nearly 2 weeks to be back to normal, I may want to try this. But How often do women drink this? Once a month? Or is it too dangerous to "detox" often? It's all new to me. And please don't be mean. I KNOW it's an old thread, and I'm open to criticism about it, that's why I'm asking.0 -
One of the best things for detoxing my bloat is drinking a crap ton of beer on a Friday night and playing Playstation.
Seriously though, I doubt you will see much benefit from Jillian's detox water... Just seems like a really time-consuming and gross thing to worry with for little to no reward.0 -

Well, I'm not much of a beer-drinker, but I could definitely go with PlayStation & drink extra water. lol
Water with lemon...maybe that'd be enough? How much lemon juice per glass? I just have a wedge in my glass. Anything to make me pee just little more water weight would be a huge help. I heard 3 cups of green tea a day is great for flushing too. Thoughts?0 -

I don't recall reading anything that showed that lemon has any sort of diuretic properties, but I'm not sure. If you enjoy lemon water and it helps you to stay hydrated, then that's good enough reason to drink it!0 -

FYI slut, a lot of the most successful people on this site have been here more than 3 months.0 -
eating asparagus, which is very low cal, will help with water weight, as will dandelion tea.
don't see why it's called detox water if it has an ingredient (the cranberry juice) with an artificial sweetener in it.0 -

Wow, to make dumb people feel good?? Geez.
I get super bloated and uncomfortable during my period like a lot of women. I've found drinking lots of lemon water helps relieve that. When I'm out running on my period the last thing I want is my pants squeezing my bloated belly. I'm sure lots of women can relate.
Be nice.
I don't believe in "detoxes," but THIS definitely happens to me. I gain anywhere from 2-5 lbs during PMS. So yeah, there's that....0 -
If you are drinking lots of water every day, you are probably not holding much excess. Why drink this instead of plain water? Water weight will go up and down...you may lose an extra pound or two with the diuretic effect, but it will come back on if a few days...so why?
I doesn't matter how much friggin water I drink, I retain an extra 2-5 lbs before my TOM. After, I lose it. So, yeah, it's annoying...maybe you don't. *shrug*0 -

Hmmm....you seem like a sweet girl.
Actually, I've since had a baby and gained 30 lbs back while I was pregnant. Not the best scenario, but yeah, my pregnancy hunger and lack of self control was no joke.
Also, some of us take our sense of humor seriously. Perhaps you should lighten up a tad (and I don't just mean weight). You'll find life is a lot easier when you're not being so mean to other people all the time.0 -

pfft. No need to justify yourself to some stupid comment. It's none of anyone's business why you are here or how long you have been here. I applaud your mature response to an immature, catty, comment though :flowerforyou:0 -

I actually feel sorry for anyone who thinks that a tasty porter can't be a serious part of a healthy diet. :drinker:0 -

Wow, I missed all the commotion. xD But I'm gonna ask just a couple of legit questions about this topic one more time. Cuz I'm trying this drink for a week, just out of curiosity. (Please don't be mean, c'mon guys. Just asking to anyone who cares to answer--& not be smart-alecky about it. I respect everyone's opinion. But I'm only asking for answers from people who have either tried it, or at least know how to do it)
I don't have distilled water, it's drinking water (I believe it contains some minerals) It shouldn't matter, yeah? Water's water. I drink water from Sparlette's (delivered water)
My main question is about the tea. I can't find a dandelion root tea bag, unfortunately, but I have green tea. I saw a girl on YouTube use diet cranberry juice (sugar-free it says, 5 calories for 8 ounces, it does contain fruit juice) But since it's only 1 tablespoon...& she used green tea, (2 bags though) & lime juice.
I only used one green tea bag, left it in the pitcher for a few minutes, & mixed it all up & took the bag out.
I THINK the girl left the tea bags IN the pitcher though. Does it matter? Does anyone leave the teabags in the pitcher or jug? I could use a LITTLE caffeine throughout the day so I don't crave soda or coffee. I drink a cup of green tea occasionally anyway.
But anywho, any good input would be very appreciated. Thanks so much. I drank most of my 60 ounces already, (I was hella thirsty from working out) I also wore my waist trimmer during it-- (just to induce sweat a little more) & I peed away about 3.4 pounds. lol Dunno if this drink helped with that, but I'm willing to experiment. I'm bad with sodium sometimes, & I wouldn't mind flushing it away occasionally. Plus my period really packs on water weight.
BTW, I actually really like the taste. It's kind of tart & refreshing like the lemon water I drink all the time.0 -
Ok, I'm gonna do it. :::BUMP:::
This thread disappeared, & I could use some help. >_<0 -
Are there still people talking about this cleanse? I just started the Paleo diet and my friend told me about this cleanse... I don't know if it's going to work, but I am trying it. I hope it's not TMI, but is anyone else experiencing this tea to be literally CLEANING you out???0
-
Oh, so you drink it then? :bigsmile:Any body tried it?
60oz distilled water
1tb spoon of sugar free cranberry juice
1 dandelion root tea bag
2tb spoon lemon juice
Drink 60 ounces everyday for seven days.
I started it yesterday. It's meant to flush out excess water weight. Don't think it's doing anything for me so far. I would generally drink 2 litres of water everyday anyways
What is the purpose of flushing excess water weight? Dont want you want to lose fat?
To make dumb people feel like they're accomplishing something.
Listen, different strokes for different folks, and nobody is dumb.
Well that's just not true. The world is full of dumb people.

I got as far as the word 'detox' and then went into automatic brain shut-down.
Dandelion is a diuretic.
Cranberry is a diuretic.
Lemon is a diuretic.
So basically what you have there is a whole load of stuff designed to make you pee added to water. Result = you pee.
.....so pee is toxic ?

People aren't still talking about this "cleanse". It is an old thread and you bumped it.0 -
Congrats @NickiAlyssa on resurrecting a many-times beaten to dead thread.
