One-day lemon detox diet? thoughts?

[Anonymous]

Hello :)

I have a bikini shoot in 2 days and I want to look my best. The thing is I overate today and I feel terrible because it's all showing in the stomach area. Will a ONE-DAY LEMON DETOX DIET ruin my health? It's just for one day

I changed it up a little:
Morning: 1 tbs organic honey, grated ginger, 1 whole lemon , mixed, drink
I will have this 3 times during the day

Lots of green tea throughout the day
Another lemon drink at night

OR... Should I have
Lemon+ginger tea (no honey) and green tea throughout the day, heaps of water
Night- 2 bowls of vegetables with 1 tbs olive oil steamed/grilled lightly

Thanks!! I don't know if the fibre in the vegetables is going to make me bloat even more.

I will do cardio/strength/yoga

Bloating is a normal part of digestion, depending on what you eat the bloating can be unnoticeable or severe. Maybe you're just noticing it more because you're conscious of the upcoming shoot. Or maybe you ate something that your stomach didn't really agree with.

Either way, my advice is to stick to foods you know your body likes, and give your stomach a good 24hrs before you resort to anything drastic.

Other things things that will be more far more effective than drinking lemon juice include:
- Walking after a meal (gets the digestive track moving)
- Taking an antacid (assists your stomach's pH balance)

A one day detox won't hurt you in any way.
