This Thinny Thursday I’m sharing Jillian Michael’s juice concoction for eliminating bloat. I kept seeing the recipe posted all over Pinterest and decided to see what the hoopla was about. This mixture is a flavored water that you drink in addition to your regular, daily diet. It is not a fast, meal-substitute, or detox.
All you need is:
1 Dandelion Root Tea Bag
Sugar or Stevia to taste
1 Tbsp Cranberry Juice (100% sugar-free)
60 Ounces Distilled Water
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Mix and Voila, you have yourself a surprisingly delicious, lemonade like drink.~
It’s claimed that these combined ingredients make a fantastic and natural diuretic, that when consumed for seven-days straight, can make you drop five to ten pounds in water-weight. Wow! I am not a doctor and do not have a medical background. I’m just relaying what has seemed to work for other people online. Personally, I’m only day 3 days into drinking this mixture and I’ve gotta say, I Love it! I think it’s working… at the very least, I’m drinking lots of fluids!
XOXO
I started this yesterday. I too had seen it on pintrest. I decided to try and eat cleaner and so I thought this would go great along with that to help get rid of all the processed crap in my body. We’ll see how it goes.
Hi! I’ll be honest, that I got light-headed during that week. But I have low blood-pressure and was dealing with pre-wedding stress.. so who knows.. just something to be cautious of!
Thanks so much for posting this! I’m starting my first day of this drink. Are you only supposed to drink the fluid or can you eat with it too?
Yes! EAT! This is something to drink in ADDITION to your daily diet, not Instead of your diet~
Do you make just one batch (60 oz.) To drink all week or do you drink a full batch every day for a week?
Do You add the tea bag to the cold mixture? How long do you leave it in the mixture?
You drink 60 ounces of it a day; I made it in two day batches because I have a gallon jug that holds 128 ounces. I brewed the tea, two bags plus 16 ounces of boiling water. I let it sit for 15 minutes until it was cool and poured it in the jug. Then added 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of pure cranberry juice. (I omitted the stevia.) Then I filled the jug up with water. (Remember this was a TWO day batch, hence why the ingridients are doubled.) This is just what I did, it tastes really good to me:)
So where can I find the Dandelion Root Tea Bags at?? I personally have never heard nor seen them before!
try gnc its a health store
Today, while everyone else and their partners spent the class working on their science projects, my partner spent the entire time trying to throw pieces of paper down my shirt. I’m stuck with him for 30 more days. FML
Drop 5 pounds in 7 days. It is a diuretic drink designed to rid our bodies of excess water weight and bloating. You’re supposed to drink this in ADDITION to your regular water intake for the day.
Here’s a quote from Jillian, “Hi I’m Jillian Michaels with your no sweat summer shape up trainer. A lot of my clients ask me about ways to slim down quick. One thing I recommend is a natural diuretic drink. Take 16 ounces of distilled water. A tablespoon of sugarfree cranberry juice. One dandelion root tea bag, ad two tablespoons of lemon juice, and drink. If you do that for seven days in a row then you could easily drop 5 pounds of excess water bloat.”
Recipe:
16 Oz dstilled water
1 TBS sugar free cranberry juice
1 dandelion root tea bag
2 TBS lemon juice
mix and drink each day.
* Note: You will probably have to get dandelion root tea from a health food store.
You’re going to find spots on the internet where they say the recipe has SIXTY (60) ounces of distilled water.
This is WRONG!
Think about it… 60 whole oz. of water and ONE tiny little tea bag and only a single itty bitty tablespoon of cranberry juice? What’s the point? It’s definitely and logically SIXTEEN OUNCES of the water!!
I think the point of the extra water is to make sure your drinking a good amount of water every day which helps flush out your system
does it have to be distilled water or can it be just tap water?
After you finish the week of drinking this does the weight come back or stay off?
