Whether you’re trying to lose weight, or just want to look and feel your best, one of the best ways to do so is by making some lemon ginger detox water. It’s incredibly simple to make, and takes less than 5 minutes.
I like to a make a huge batch of this stuff the night before (like 4 litres of water in a huge glass jar) so that I can drink it the next day.
What’s so great about lemon ginger water? If you haven’t yet read my article on lemon water, I suggest you do so now. Lemon water helps strengthen the immune system, tones and flushes out toxins from the lymphatic system, alkalizes the body, and so much more.
Adding a little ginger to this mix helps with appetite control, and gives your metabolism a little boost to help shed any excess weight you may be holding on to.
Lemon ginger water is also helpful for ridding the body of water weight caused by sodium retention. Drinking enough of this water every day (like 3-4 litres of it) will reduce water weight, and make weight loss seem effortless!

How much shld i drink in one day?
Once a day should suffice.
Should I squeeze the lemons? Thank you
You can if you want, but once you’re done doing a gentle squeeze to release some juice, just put the whole lemon inside the water. It’s supposed to steep with the whole lemon peel included (which is why I suggest only organic lemons for this).
Hi so r you to drink 4 leters in one day
I personally drink 4 litres a day, yes.
Do you leave the lemon and ginger pieces in the water or take them out the next day? Thank you!
You can keep the pieces in, or strain them out and just drink the water (I sometimes eat the ginger pieces, but it isn’t necessary!).
How long will it last in the fridge, if I want to just drink it once a day?
It should last for at least a couple days!
