    Total nonsense. You don't need a detox. And some weird nasty flavored water won't make you lose weight.

    if all you consume is weird nasty flavored water for 10 days, you will lose a lot of weight. You might also end up in the hospital, but that's beside the point it seems.

    Why would you do this? Drinking some awful concoction with the empty promise of it being a magical fix? You need to treat yourself better than that. Nourish you body properly, don't drink some horribly mix with no nutritional benefit to punish your body.

    But if we're just discussing breakfast beverages, I start every morning with coffee. I continue drinking coffee until I leave work. This is probably not recommended for most people, but I'm some sort of unfortunate half-breed of zombie and slug. lol

    Every morning I start off when I wake up with a 16 oz glass of water with 5 or 6 drops of lemon oil and a dash of cayenne pepper. With how I am feeling I will add vitamin C or baking soda to it. This is not a diet for me, one glass first thing in the morning before anything else. I have been doing this over 2 years now, no problem.

    Why?

    Water: after sleeping all night I found that I was dehydrated when I woke.

    Cayenne Pepper: some of the properties that I understand and think are helping me are
    1: Anti-Irritant
    2: Boost metabolism & lower blood sugar
    3: A source of natural Vitamin E
    4: Help Digestion

    Lemon: A digestive aid and a way to jumpstart digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid consumption. Also lemons also increase fatty acid oxidation.

    Vitamin C: If I feel sickly the night before or when waking.

    Baking Soda: when I have a dinner I think doesn't agree with me, it can absorb and neutralize acid in the stomach and relive intermittent and occasional heartburn.

    Note: too much Vitamin C or baking soda can give you disaster pants.

    While you can disagree with this it works for me.

    @kingrat2014 serious question: If you're adding baking soda to neutralize acid, why not just leave out the lemon which is acidic?
    I think drinking something once daily is different than a cleanse, by the way. I don't do things like this, but my dad swears that eating half an onion every morning makes him feel better. If it works for you, by all means continue.

    This is also called the master cleanse. It is a VLCD and is against the TOS on the boards.


    Not only is this diet stupid, it's also dangerous.

    I understand what you are saying, I did not specify what part of the lemon I was using. What I understand the lemon juice is acidic, too much, too often can mess with you teeth. So I gut half of a lemon then press the skin to get the oil or I use essential lemon oil drops, and use 5-6 drops.
