    I've read that it's good to "keep you moving" or "regular"...

    Lemon is a natural diuretic so it *could* possibly help you shed a little water weight if you are having trouble with water retention.

    Eating/drinking nothing would have the same affect. It wasn't the lemon water, just the fact that she cut out 500+ calories a day.

    Now if she said she traded in her morning coffee for lemon water, but continued to eat biscuits and gravy, toast and jelly, and 3 glazed donuts...then she is a medical miracle and need to be researched on.

    Lemon will not help you lose fat. However, it is a natural diuretic and will help rid your body of retained fluid. So will cucumber. I put lemon or cucumber in my water sometimes in the days leading up to my period to help with water retention.

    Cucumber is 96% water so I'm not sure how it could be considered a diuretic.

    I tried this for a period of about 2 weeks and it did nothing except make me feel a little unwell. No weight loss results. That's not to say that every one isn't different. I would personally recommend that if you're following a calorie restricted diet anyway (and low carb... it works), lemon water will make little to no difference.

    Same way as lemon water...
