I began researching detoxes and detox recipes and found one that I really, really liked ! It's by Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Looser Fame.

And Yes, I'm talking about her Infamous Diet Drink that helps you loose 5 pounds in 7 days. The drink helps rid our body of toxins as well as help remove excess water weight and bloating.
I couldn't resist the temptation - so I went this afternoon and picked up the necessary items for the recipe which is:
Recipe :
60 oz distilled water ( roughly 2 liters)
1 TBS sugarfree cranberry juice
1 dandelion root tea bag
2 TBS lemon juice
60 oz distilled water ( roughly 2 liters)
1 TBS sugarfree cranberry juice
1 dandelion root tea bag
2 TBS lemon juice
Mix and Drink Each day for 7 days.
If your looking for further instructions - this is what I'll be doing:
- Steeping the tea bag in 1 cup of water (hot)
- After it's cooled - I'll add the rest of the water, cranberry juice and lemon juice.
- Place in Refrigerator to cool - and just add to my 1 litter water bottle to sip throughout the day
- Repeat on day 2 . . . .

I'll be starting this experiment tomorrow - and will keep all of you posted on the results. I may even have a partner the very lovely Ms. Fantastic(aka SukaAndSpice) who you can find here .I figure that if I can re-fill my bottle twice a day and finish it - I will deem myself successful :)
But I'm curious - What are your summer get-into-shape secrets/tips?
I saw this last summer I think in one of her email thingy that I signed up for- but I couldn't find the dandelion root tea bag...where did you buy yours? Thanks for posting this- I think I will try it soon:)
ReplyDeleteI found mine at Whole Foods, but Trader Joe's didn't have it. So it's hit & miss - but health food stores should have them as well :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I really want to try this, looks interesting. Actually, just yesterday my sister was raving about her book. Will have to try this recipe drink. Thanks for sharing! xxNadia
