Re: water intake

I read a "recipe" somewhere that used lemon slices and cucumber slices the same way. I thought it sounded quite refreshing.

i may try this 1 i like cucumbers. hopefully they will cancel out some of the lemon flavor.
sorry for the double post

Re: water intake

well if they can do the same with results wouldnt that be a good thing as apposed to quitting the diet entirely because they had an obsticle they couldnt get over and were discouraged? im not out here telling people what to do, just what i do. i understand you want people to "stay the coarse", so do i. i wish everyone on here who is battling or has battled a weight problem the best of luck! as we know its not a fun thing to go through life with.

Or they could see your post, try it your way, not lose as much as they'd like, and then get discouraged and quit. We just want as many people as possible to see how to do the diet the way Dr. Atkins intended. No one is trying to attack you, we all want the same thing here - to lose weight and help others lose.

Re: water intake

just float cucumbers in your water, not lemon and cucumber. Just remember, not everyone is or does loose the way you do, men loose faster than women do and with less effort it seems at times. You do what you do and I and the other Spotlight hostesses and moderators will continue to do what we do. I don't like being called judgemental when I know I'm doing things the way the plan was written and not taking diet supplements or whatever and "calling" their program Atkins because it's not.

Re: water intake

i may try this 1. i really like cucumbers. maybe they will cancel out some of the lemon flavor. not to mention to me a cucumber is one of them extremely fresh tastes. just like cilantro is. always tastes fresh from the garden.

If you like the flavor of herbs, you can infuse your drinking water with them by simply soaking a sprig in the water. The oils of the herbs will flavor the water.

I particularly like basil (the regular kind and the "scented" kind like Thai basil, cinnamon basil, etc.), mints, lemon verbena or lemon balm, like this.
