I've had water with cucumber and lemon on many occasions. It tastes delicious.0

That's about as effective as it gets.0 -

I do this on a daily without the water!0 -
I'll have to give a try then.0

Yes! It totally works! I drank one cup of Magic Lemony Cucumber Water and I lost 50 pounds overnight. But you have to use Magic Cucumbers or it doesn't work, and they're hard to get since they only grow in Argentina and can only be harvested on February 29th, so you have to wait until 2016.0

Have you not seen any of the recent detox threads?? If not, search function works well.0

It adds a nice flavour to water, but it wont give it magical detoxing powers.0

I've had a friend at work try the lemon/cucumber/mint "detox". She said it tasted horrible.
I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to do though...
Just drink mojitos and call it a day0 -

I thought this was just staying hydrated.0 -

i think people are tired of having to point out 3-4 times every day that detoxes are a scam and don't work- so everything has spiraled into sarcasm.0 -
Yeah I do lemon water in the morning half an hour before eating. Helps to promote an alkaline environment, and drinking water before eating also aids in organ function.0

LOL! Seriously? Are you having an EXTRA bad day? If you were going to post such a negative answer, why answer at all?
I hope you have a better day and good luck with your weight loss!

There has been a thread going on this subject all morning... and probably 20 threads a day everyday.
Like I said earlier, I saw a friend on pinterest pinned some Dr Oz honey/lemon detox that claims you can lose 20lbs in 10 days. IT's just absurd to think that anyone would actually believe that crap.0 -

Help doesn't not mean agreeing with everyone. If someone who just started running yesterday said they were going to run a marathon tomorrow you won't see me saying "Oh, yes that is a great idea." Blind support can be just as harmful as no support.0 -
Did nothing for me0

That wasn't negative...just blunt.0 -
I PUT BACON IN MY WATER ! ! ! FUNNY, HUH ?!?!?! BACON IS FUNNY ! ! !0

I completely agree! Which is why I DO NOT post in these forums often. Most of the answers are sarcastic and extremely uncalled for. If you have seen such a post over and over then DO NOT respond! It takes much less effort to roll your eyes at the keyboard than it does to answer so negatively! I wish these folks well though!0

I see you too are having a horrible day! I hope it gets better for you!0 -
Nikkim, you'd be better logging your foods in your diary rather than looking for magic potions.
Sorry if that's too blunt.0 -

It is a place for help. HOWEVER, "detox waters" are brought up pretty regularly and always shot down. Why? Because water alone detoxes the body. Adding fruit and veggies is only going to add some flavor to it. There's no need for magical detoxes to lose weight/get healthy. That's why you encounter sarcasm and "unhelpful" responses.0 -

Actually water already has those powers. Except maybe if you live in WV.0 -

I agree! I don't believe that and anyone who does is crazy. I really should have posted has anyone tried and LIKED the water as opposed to saying "detox water". I see it gets people all worked up. Nevertheless, I was inquiring about the taste, not whether or not it works as a "detox".0 -

These are the answers I was looking for...as far as the taste. Not the detoxing benefits. My subject should have been phrased better.
Thank you!0 -
OP isn't going to get any real information here about detoxing.
Or anywhere else.
Detoxing is a myth.
Everything is a lie.
I am a lie.
Where am I?
Did I ever exist?
The abyss of the universe is calling me.
Its black voice of void and mystery.
"Detox" it says in a whisper,
"Isn't really a thing."
And then I rejoice

So if someone is wrong about something that could harm themselves (or waste their time/effort) everyone should just close their eyes and hope the misinformation magically corrects itself. What a helpful attitude.I completely agree! Which is why I DO NOT post in these forums often. Most of the answers are sarcastic and extremely uncalled for.

It's not that difficult to make is it - why don't you try it and see how it tastes to you?0
