How to Get Ready for the Lemon Detox Diet!

The lemon detox diet is a great way to eliminate toxins and shed a few quick pounds over the period of a one or two days as opposed to the weeks that other solutions require. Many people make the mistake of assuming that a liquid diet is an easy weight loss option – don’t be fooled! You will need all of the patience, dedication, and willpower that you can muster. But with a little preparation you can increase your chances for success!

Planning for the Perfect Detox Experience!

Mark your calendar for the days you plan on using for the lemon detox diet. This should usually be no more than three days. You will not be able to go to work nor do any kind of intensive activities so plan accordingly.

If this will be your first detox, ask a friend to stop in daily to check on you. Fluid losses can cause fatigue and dehydration, but even more serious, the stress could trigger the effects of a pre-existing condition that you may not have been aware of, like diabetes. Make sure to warn your buddy about the potential irritability that you will most likely develop from the effects of caffeine or sugar addiction withdrawal!

It is recommended that a dieter eases in to the detox by eating nothing but fruits, vegetables, and broth for three days prior to the beginning of the diet.  The ingredients for the lemonade diet plan should be purchased beforehand, except for the lemons, which should be fresh. Again, it may be wise to arrange for a friend to drop off fresh lemons, since a drive to the store could be out of the question when your body begins to expel toxins.

The only way to be successful at the lemon detox diet is to carefully research and follow the diet plan to the letter. If you know what to expect you can prepare yourself – then, nothing can hold you back!
