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!

Melissa says
How much do you drink of this?
Carly Fraser says
I would aim for at least 3-4 litres of water a day. You can add the lemon and ginger to one of those liters.

Can you blend the ginger and lemon together
Carly Fraser says
You can, but it would be a little bit thick and chunky!
