That is awesome Nutmeg

i decided to have a baked apple tonight instead of a lemon drink and after not having one for 3 nights it is such a treat !
so will be interesting to see losses tonight after no lemons

[mcbell]

I added some sprite to my last serving of lemon drink tonight - was quite nice!

Going to make some "sorbet" for tomorrow tonight.

[lil_doll]

I have no seen any more losses since Wednesday!

I haven't had any lemon today... Not sure I want to. Where are my magical losses?!!!!

Still gagged through the stupid ACV this morning though.

Hi , I have brought my lemons , can you please tell me, how many fruits do you count this as

[mcbell]

Phooey! I went up 200gm - so no loss at all from Monday to Friday.

Am lemoning today (concentrated, no cayenne) but unless miracles occur on the scales tomorrow, I will go back to regular fruits for the weekend, as we will be spending the majority of of the weekend away from home.

1 lemon= 1 fruit, Marg

[marg]

Well , I made up my lemon drink/medicine this morning .I had my first one after breaky & didn`t think it was bad as I anticipated as I don`t like anything sour , just had my second one after lunch & boy it was sour , I struggled to drink it , but i did it. Hopefully it works for me as I have 2 kilos to go before I can order refeed , might be able to order it next week if it works for me like it has worked for a few of you ladies.

good luck marg !

yea i found it didnt taste so good when left until later in the day too ! i try get mine down in one go

[Gay'zin]

Hi can people post the recipe they have settled on to use please, I think I will give this a go when I reach maintaining land, (my youngest would love the sorbet as someone has mentioned)
Cheers Rebecca

[marg]

So can drink it in one go , I think I may try this tomorrow if that is the case , or add abit more sweetner

[Nutmeg]

Spannah's recipe (and jessy's or close to jessy's) is in the top of this thread Gayzin

Its :

2 whole lemons
50 mls Apple Cider Vinegar
200mls water
2 sweeteners
Blend it all up - comes out the thickness of a smoothie, split into three cups, and down it with every meal.

I do a half version of this so i can still have my kiwi fruit in the morning with yoghurt.
I have 1 lemon but a bit more apple cider and a 1 cup of water with 5 -8 drops of sweetner blended. I drink it in 1 go

So I tried this lemon drink yesterday and surprisingly, I liked it! I just used one lemon ( took out the seeds but included the skin) , around 200ml water, a generous splash of apple cider vinegar and one splenda. I drank it all in one go - delicious! Of course, I had to strain it since the skin and flesh were floating around.

[LiquidIce]

This sound interesting... But I wonder, I do not own a blender or juicer, just a stick blender, so I wont be able to use the whole lemon skin and all... Maybe I should give this a go, but only use lemon juice instead of the whole lemon. I gag anyway if something is too 'fleshy'. Cant even eat yoghurt with fruit in it... Will let you know how it pans out...

[Fox&Whale]

I'm jumping on this bandwagon of lemony goodness. I love lemon and pulp, so read this topic and immediately, I'm all over it. We have quite a big tree, with heaps of fruit, but they are still green. Hoping it's not too long before they are usable.

So I had my first one between brekky and lunch. Zesty! I left the rind on but cut off the skin, is this how people are doing it? Blitzed with a buttload of ice and some sweetener to take the edge off, but had no AC vinegar. It was quite like a virgin margarita. Next time I might salt my glass with Celtic sea salt

I figure it has to be good, lemons have so many health benefits so figure it's a good use of one of my fruit allowances (only did 1 lemon's worth). Will save the other fruit allowance for something indulgent.

Hi Foxy,
I did it recently and I just washed the lemon in running water, quartered it and chucked it into a blender with some ACV and water and whizzed it up.

[lil_doll]

Yep I included the skin and pips...

Look, I'm not a fan. hahaha. It tastes nicer without the ACV, but I like my mangoes and honeydew too much. haha

[mesmer_eyes]

does this really help with the weight loss? should it be taken before each meal and does having it warm or cold alright?

I will try this by 1st Apr.. i used to take hot honey, lemon, turmeric mix in the morning prior to Cohen's and would be good if I can have my lemon drink in the morning again (without the honey though)
