    Has anyone heard of the Grapefruit juice, ACV and honey tummy slimming drink? You drink one cup before each meal to help burn fat. Anyone have any experience with this? Does it aid in weightloss?

    No, sorry

    Does this count? If so, I may have cleansed enough for the next three years over the 4th weekend.

    my personal favorite

    My fav, but it's tougher to drink than a shandy when it's hot as hell out.

    It does help flush fat and toxins from the liver. And yes, you do need a calorie deficit to lose weight.

    Grapefruit in itself stimulates the liver. Interactions of grapefruit juice and cardiovascular medications can be potentially dangerous. Other than that all of those ingredients have amazing health benefits. I use ACV, garlic and honey to get over strep throat without getting an RX. I also like to drink grapefruit before a meal because it makes digestion better.

    They may have some health benefits, but it will not help you to lose weight quicker or burn fat. You need a calorie deficit for that.

    Which toxins are you referencing?

    Who is ingesting pesticides as part of their diet?

    Aren't they in the air we breathe, like farming chemicals/pesticides and pollution from cars and factories etc etc

    You know, I asked this question and got the answers I need. However some of you guys talk to people really hatefully and I don't dig that. If you can't be mature and respectful get off this thread.

    I don't think it will aid in fat loss. However, a cup of coffee and a grapefruit keeps me "regular" so it might help with abdominal bloat....

    I re-read this thread and saw a couple that could have been more polite. Many were facetious, which is not the same as hateful. The best way to handle hateful comments is to click the flag and select Report (NOT "abuse"!). Let the mods decide, and you can get on with your day.

    I'm glad you got the answers you needed. :)

    Everyone who eats vegetables. Of course the vast majority are produced by the plants themselves.

    Funky,
    I think you or someone else posted this awhile back in another thread about those evil pesticidez. It seems about 99.99% of them are produced by plants.

    I'm adding this as yet another reason I was right and my parents were wrong to force vegetables on me </sarcasm>

    The cocktail (as I call them) have varied ingredients. They really not for losing weight, but detoxing the digestive to keep things flowing. I have IBS and it helps when it's flared up. My favorite to use is Vinegar, honey, cinnamon, ginger, and warm water. Each has benefits to help digestion.
