    I've been doing this for 4 days now and have not lost any weight. I wasn't really thinking it would "work" but I actually enjoy the taste of the mixture and I've been more regular(I can seriously tell a difference) since drinking it. I brew the dandelion root and I also brew a green tea bag and put them in my 64 oz jug. I put the cranberry and squeeze half a lemon, fill with ice/water to cool the hot tea.

    My new found regularity may just be due to the fact that I'm definitely drinking a certain amount of water every day, where before I didn't really keep track(but I thought I was drinking enough). I like having a large container full of what I need to drink, and just know it has to be emptied by the end of the day. I might start switching it up even more with different types of tea.

    *scratches head* If all you're losing is water weight, what's the point? You'll just gain it right back when you start eating normally again.

    Losing water weight for a certain event would just feel nice and give you an extra confidence boost (especially for a woman in a tight new dress). Give us a break! We wanna look our best on certain occasions and drinking a little tea and lemon juice is good for you anyways.

    You need to have water weight to lose. I drink 100 oz/day so I don't know if this would help me. We need more people that have tried it.

    Don't kid yourselves that this will truly reduce your weight, or that there is something special or magic about it, dandelion is well know as a diuretic and your are forcing your body to expel water and potentially dehydrate itself leading to all manner of serious medical issues.

    Unless you have a medial condition in which case you should e bunder medical supervision your body will correct any water retention quite naturally, thus as soon as you stop abusing it by taking a diuretic you will put the weight that is due to this forced dehydration back on.

    i tried it and I didn't lose any weight..in fact, I gained two pounds. I don't know if it takes a while for some to come off, but so far it has not worked at all.

    This is very intriguing! Where do you get dandelion root tea bags, though?!?

    Gosh, I would love to lose 5 lbs of water weight! But I wonder how long it would take to gain it back after you stopped the diet..


    If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near you, you can get it there. If not, Amazon has it. :smile:

    I totally agre with you Guinevere. Now I love Jillian Michaels, but this is a quick fix. It will get rid of water though, I might try it if I'm looking to lose short term weight loss.

    Well like she said, her bf is graduating and she hasn't seen him in a while, she doesn't want to look bloated on that special day.

    You can brew the leaves and get tea! I do it all the time with mint I grown in my garden (after I have dried them).
