    Today I started a flush by Jillian Michaels and was wondering if anyone else has done this and if it worked?

    Jillian Michaels recipe for losing 5 pounds in 7 days...

    Get 60 ounces of distilled or pure water...
    Add a tablespoon of sugar free cranberry juice...
    Add 1 dandelion root tea bag and...
    Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

    This recipe works because it helps flush out excess water weight you have carrying around in your body and...

    You could lose more than 5 pounds in 7 days depending on how much excess water weight you're carrying around

    I believe it works just by reading the ingredients.

    If our bodies were truly filled with 'toxins' why the heck aren't we dead by now? Please tell me what these so called toxins are.

    You know..."teh toxinz, omgzzz!".

    Funny how cleanse/detox advocates never are able to produce a specific list of what "toxins" they supposedly rid the body of (and any kind of scientific proof that a cleanse/detox is actually effective at doing so).

    Since the "water weight" topic was brought up... There's fruits and vegetables with diuretic properties. Carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, watermelon.

    Isn't there a risk of dehydration? If you are actively exercising and consuming dandelion which is a diuretic, isn't there the risk you are potentially dehydrating your body? This form of weight loss sounds more like that fad drink called the "Hollywood Diet".. I don't consider this a real weight loss.. I just saw dandelion publicized on Dr. Oz. Then again, he has a half dozen supplements on every show that is suppose to be a miracle cure for whatever ails you.. I think he is on the take with these manufacturers of these base components he is pushing.

    If you lose any weight on this it's because you are eating hardly anything.

    Why would you do that to yourself? Your body doesn't need a cleanse. It needs food. Good, happy, healthy food. And it needs it NOW. Not in seven days. NOW.

    The thing about water weight is that it comes back within a matter of days. Flushes like this are not sustainable. You can't keep doing it the rest of your life.

    Wouldn't this work the same if you used the teabag in a regular cup of tea and put some lemon in your ice water throughout the day?

    @quirkytizzy You eat and drink and maintain your normal diet, you are just adding the 60oz to your everyday intake, you do not cut anything out! Youre not cutting out any food

    I drink this, and find that my sweet cravings are down to a minimum. I fill up 4 water bottles and make sure I drink all of them during the day to get my 2 litres(60oz) of water in. It tastes like lemonade. Oh and I lost 5 pounds the first week I started. I'm almost done week two!
