When life gives you lemons

Experts say the key to dropping pounds is 80% diet, but with conflicting news every day on what and when we should eat, it can be harder than ever to stick to a plan.

The Lemon Detox does away with fiddling about with scales. Thanks to its rich nutrient content (including manganese, potassium, calcium, iron and zinc), the Lemon Detox formula is unique in its ability to provide the body with all it needs during any fast or calorie restriction programme, while simultaneously warding off hunger and retaining energy levels.

It's perfect for 5:2 Diet devotees since it provides the required 500 calories on ‘fast’ days (one glass equals approximately 100 calories) – a welcome and far more convenient alternative for those who struggle to work out what and how much they can and can’t eat.

Backed by celebrities and tried and tested by Khush Wedding, the Lemon Detox did indeed help shed pounds, leaving us feeling lighter and fitter. We chose to try the Relaxed Version of the Detox, which allows one healthy meal a day, in addition to Lemon Detox drinks for a total period of 12 days.

With just one meal to think about, we became more mindful of what we were putting on our plates. After nearly two weeks, we saw an improvement in skin complexion, experienced more restful sleep, and lost half a stone!

While fasting isn't a sustainable way to loose weight long-term, for an 11th hour push before the Big Day, it could be the key to losing those last few pounds and getting into your bridal lehenga.
