I was on Facebook when one of my friends shared this lemon diet idea-pin, from Pinterest. I was pretty skeptical how the lemon water every day makes you lose 20 pounds in just 14 days. It is supposed to help detox your body. So I took a before picture and wrote down my weight. So far so good.

Day 1 of 14:

Day one is one cup of water and one lemon's juice. Drinking the lemon water wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. As a person who can eat lemons like oranges, it felt that it wasn't much of a challenge for me. Boy, was I wrong... Being able to drink it in one setting was the worse part. It's like chugging plain lemon juice. It's kind of hard to do.

Day 2 of 14:

Day two is two cups of water and two lemon's juices. It was a little harder today because there was more water to get down. I do feel like it is working. I also think it may be a mind thing. I have had to use the restroom more today than yesterday. It does make you feel fuller. I woke up super hungry and drank the two cups and felt no hunger. Which is lovely.

Day 3 of 14:

Day three is three lemons and three cups of water. It seemed a little more tricky to get down. I had to use the bathroom constantly.

Day 4 of 14:

Day four is four lemons and four cups of water. I had an urgency to get sick. So I chugged as quickly as possible. Day four of having to use the bathroom every two seconds was beginning to get annoying.

Day 5 of 14:

Day five is five lemons and five cups of water. Five cups felt like a bottomless cup. I felt like I was never going to be done drinking it. I still have to use the bathroom a lot.

Day 6 of 14:

I was so close to drinking it all, when I got a severe urgency to throw up. I could no longer drink it. I threw the towel in. I definitely didn't think drinking lemon water would have that effect. I gave up. I don't think I can even eat lemons again for a long time. I am a little disappointed in the outcome. I almost made it a week, but the lemon water had defeated me.

I suggest, if you like lemons do not do this.
