Natural Hot Lemon Diuretic

I've got a really fun charity event I'm headed to this weekend, which happens to be in my home town. Needless to say, I'm going to be seeing tons of people I know and love, and I few I haven't seen in a long time! Every time I have an event, trip, or just day, that I want to look extra lean, I LOVE this natural lemon Diuretic!

Now, this is going to be TMI, (to much information) I know, but I tend to retain water and get really bloated in the tummy area easily! This natural remedy fixes my problem! It makes me pee like a race horse, or (to get all technical on ya)  elevates the rate of urination by forcing the kidneys to produce more urine [This flushes all of the impurities out of the system fast]


The drink is simple: organic lemons & boiling water. Sometimes I add a splash or 2 of organic, unsweetened cranberry juice to really get things going! (let me be very specific on the cranberry juice, not just "sugar free" but unsweetened.  You'll have to get it in the health food section of your local grocery store, not just the juice isle)

I prefer natural diuretics to store-bought ones. They’re easier on the body, and in my opinion more effective. Many store bought diuretics contain too many chemicals. 

Drink this about two hours before the big event and you're belly will be flat and free of bloat!!!! (maybe even the night before to feel extra slim)

Hot Lemon Diuretic 

* Makes two cups of hot tea.

2 organic lemons

Hot water

*** I added a pinch of stevia for sweetness.



Put water in to teapot. (I didn't have one so I used a pan) Boil water, squeeze 2 lemons in to teapot. After you’ve squeezed all juice in, throw all four pieces into to teapot. Lower temperature on the stove. Let this sit for about 2 minutes. Pour in to teacup. Drink up!

Note: Only use this when you need it, not an every day drink.
