Lemonade Diet??????

Question

Has anyone tried this diet before? I want to try it but I want some information about it first. Is there some special recipe for it or is it just regular lemonade. How much do you drink everyday? Can you drink water too? How long do you do it for? Do you eat anything while doing this diet?? Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

I did it for 3 days...only lost one pound.

Answer 2

The Lemonade Diet is another fasting diet based on drinking a strange conconction of ingredients centred on lemon juice. The diet is essentially a detox or cleansing diet that is also claimed to help you to lose up to 10lbs in a week. There are a number of versions, all of which are a variation on a theme.

You make up a drink consisting of ingredients like cayenne, maple syrup, spring water and of course lemon juice and drink it every couple of hours or whenever you feel hungry. You eat nothing, but drink plenty of water.

The idea is to follow the diet for up to 10 days. You are advised to repeat it as often as you need to.

Does it work...in a word, no.

Sure, if you can stick to it for more than a day or two you may lose some weight, but that will be primarily water, which will go straight back on again when you go back to eating normally.

As the diet is pretty extreme and comes in below 1,000 calories a day your body thinks you're starving, slows down your metabolism and burns lean tissue to conserve energy - very counter-productive as far as weight loss is concerned!

Also, follow it for more than a few days and it can be very dangerous, as any form of prolonged starvation is.

Avoid this diet and those like it - they may give short term results in some case but in the longer term they do not work. Choose a healthy eating and exercise program and you will get the results you're looking for.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The lemonade diet is a cleansing diet.- a 'fast' really. There's tons of info about it online. google, "master cleanse" and they'll put you on their newsletter list. It's not regular lemonade it's a fairly complicated combonation of very specific ingrediants. there are different durations for this diet depending on what you're looking to do. when done 'right' it's meant to detox your whole body- not just to lose weight.

Answer 8

don't expect to lose any body fat on that "diet" while you may see a decrease of weight on the scale. this will be from a loss of water and muscle ...starving the body is the exact opposite of what it takes to decrease body fat

Answer 9

grape fruit diet is easier

Answer 10

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results.

However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.

Food-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.

High-fiber, low-calorie diets: Fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.

Liquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long-term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.

Fasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.

No fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start:

Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.

Get some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.

Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.

Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.

Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.

Choose foods moderate in salt and sodium. Remember that salt has been added to many foods during preparation or processing, so it's not necessary to add extra salt at the table
