Throughout the forum, I've seen several references to a lemon drink to use at night or in the morning. Is this fresh-squeezed lemon juice and warm water?

[dolphn545]

yes, or also known as hot lemon water (HLW).

[JenniKyle]

What is the purpose for the hot lemon drink?

[mamato2girls]

It's a natural diuretic. Helps flush excess salt out of your system.

[bizlawchik]

And, according to the COD, can help with "regularity". (But on a limited basis)

[WendyVan]

Does it help with the scale? I would think it would. I might have to try this friday night... I go for my WI on Saturday morning

[Mama Nicole]

yeah, it often helps with the devil, oops, I mean the scale. I usually have some the day before WI. You may not want to do it at night, as it makes you pee a lot!

[malu88]

how often do you drink this? everyday, once a day, etc?

[dolphn545]

I try not to drink it everyday, and only really drink it when I've had a "salty" day or if I happen to go off plan. But others do drink it every day or a few times a day.

[malu88]

thank you for the reply, I also heard of an apple cider vinegar drink, which is suppost to have the same effect, however, in the purple book of LAWL you are only allow 1tsp of vinegar, you know anything about it? i had it for 3 days and i don;t feel any different.

[dolphn545]

I have heard of the apple cider vinegar diet, where you would put apple cider vinegar in your water before each meal; just recenly at my COD they recommended apple cider vinegar on my salad. Haven't tried it on the salad, but I did try to drink it before. Yuck.

[dolphn545]

That, too, she said was a "natural diuretic"
