First thing in the morning, we have a lemon or lime with the juice squeezed and put into a half-cup of warm water.<\/p>\n
Throughout the day we also have lemon or lime juice – organic, of course, – and at very particular times, which we feel is the secret to this ‘diet’.<\/strong><\/p>\n When we come in from meetings, shopping, working in the garden, doing whatever that has made us ravenously hungry and pushes us to \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 reach for any and everything we can to satisfy that hunger .- Instead of reaching for those 5 cookies, ice cream, instant whatever that can quench the thirst and hunger, we stop, have one lemon or lime squeezed into a half-glass of warm water and our hunger and thirst is satiated enough that we can think before we reach for those diet disasters and health saboteurs. \u00a0 We have the time and space to work through putting together a substantial, organic meal or snack before we move on to the next thing.<\/p>\n What we’ve found – not only is our hunger satisfied with that half-cup of freshly squeezed organic juice with warm water – but our energy is revived and we are ready to continue our day.<\/p>\n I’ve found that two or three such lemon\/lime pick-me-ups during the day satisfies my needs, but it also has me losing weight. \u00a0Not because I am dieting, but because when I have gone longer than I should have without eating, my hunger and thirst don’t lead me to poor choices. \u00a0It gives me space to think through what it is I need to eat and time to prepare whatever my choice. \u00a0I also look better. \u00a0Somehow, there is a shining through from this regimen that is fantastic. \u00a0No make-up could do for me what is done to me by those half-cups of juice and warm water. \u00a0I use half-cups because it is so sour that is all I can get down at one time. \u00a0And no, I don’t want to use those ‘helpers’ that make lemons taste like sugary confections. \u00a0Over time, I am becoming more accustomed to the sour taste and my sugar tastes are becoming intolerable of that really sweet stuff. \u00a0Before this, nothing was too sweet for me and I could never pass a cookie without picking one or two or three up and carrying them away with me.<\/p>\n A couple other friends, who have tried the same thing, have come back looking better, feeling better and are proselytizing their friends in this new way of taking care of their body’s nutritional needs and staying off the bad stuff.<\/p>\n One organic lemon or lime squeezed using a glass juicer – you know the kind, – non-electric, manual labor needed – with 1\/2 cup warm water added and off you go to a new life.<\/p>\n If you have a difficult time finding a glass lemon juicer – we found this one and many more at\u00a0www.laurelleaffarm.com\/pages\/kitchen&table\/antique-glass-reamer-1909-patent.htm<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n![\"Photo](\"http:\/\/www.laurelleaffarm.com\/photos\/k32114.jpg\" "\\"Every")
