So I read on the HCGdiet.com Facebook group that drinking your lemon juice in a glass of water helps flush out the toxins in your system which in turn helps with your losses.
Anyone else hear of this? Or does anyone do this?

I have never heard of that but I do know that a long time ago I read that lemon water and honey can make you go go go, per richard simmons and when I tried it it worked but this was way back in the day....we cannot have honey so i wonder if it would work with just lemons too.....cant wait to read some responses on this..i use more the then allowed lemon juice per day and have not had any problems i think I use 2 but in any case if it does clean you out i might try that too...

Since I have been on the HCG diet, I have had lemon juice in my water every day. I carry a 32 oz water bottle with me every where I go and the first bottle of water I have every day has lemon juice (about 2 TBSP), apple cider vinegar (2 TBSP), water and a bit of liquid stevia. I do think it helps with water retention.

I also think I use more than the allowed lemon juice a day as I use bottled lemon juice and I have never figured out how much juice is in one lemon.

In P & I: "The juice of one lemon is allowed daily for all purposes". That said, I eat the lemon pulp, too. I do count the 60 cals in my daily. Re the bottled juice, I have used that in the past & it notes on the bottle the measure that equals one lemon so you can check on that. Blessings shelia

I actually use "True Lemon" and "True Lime" and I put it in all my water, or I'll sprinkle it on meat or salad. It's totally natural, no preservatives, crystalized lemon and lime. I'm assuming based on my hcg book that I can have as much lemon as I want, so I use it for water and taste.

Hope this helps!

I feel kinda dumb. I never thought to read the lemon juice bottle to see how much = a lemon

I read absolutely every other ingredient list/nutrition label. Don't know why I didn't read the lemon juice bottle.

I have read this as well, and that is when I started adding a lemon to my water daily.
