water and drinking this after awakening each morning along with eating a
healthy balanced diet and exercising, the effects of the diet will be
increased, which is ideal for those who desire to lose weight fast.Many people have difficulty losing weight, which can often be contributed to having a very slow digestive system. Traditional dieting methods can sometimes even make this problem worse. When lemons are added to drinking water, digestion speeds up. This promotes faster weight loss. Consumed foods are digested quicker and elimination is regulated. This prevents diarrhea and constipation from occurring, which helps the body to naturally lose weight quicker.

When using the water with lemon diet, individuals should drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses each day. Once the desired amount of weight has been lost, one eight-ounce glass should be consumed daily. The basic recipe to use to lose weight fast is the juice of one lemon per each eight-ounce glass of water, drank first thing in the morning. Be sure to wash the lemons thoroughly before using.
