Mothers

I'm Zoe Bradforth, A new mother.

As former professional ice skater who has competed for Australia and a model, I was not used to having extra kilos on my body. With no time for gym I was looking for something I could fit around baby.

I went on the lemon detox diet and had AMAZING results after only 3 days I had lost 4 kilos by the end of the Lemon detox I was feeling like I could take on the world.

I felt cleansed, energetic, fit and 10 kilos lighter. I get so many comments from mothers and friends asking what my secret is. No one can believe I could look this great without working out hours and hours a day and the super thing is I've kept the weight off.

Thank you Lemon Detox.

I am 64 years of age. I did not believe that I could feel this good again. I thought that it was my age slowing me down. I took the 10 day program and the results were incredible. Apart from the helpful weight loss my skin is shinning, and the best part of this was the increase in energy levels. I just feel so good again and it has been many years since I have gained this positiveness.
But the best thing about this whole program is that I get to spend much more time running around with my grand children in the park.

I used to listen to the ads on the radio and wonder if “Lemon Detox” would work for me. Prior to using “Lemon Detox” I looked ‘dumpy’ ... I felt tired and had a drained look to my face and complexion ... I needed something to kick start me back into feeling good.

So I bought “Lemon Detox” ... I remember having my first glass and said to my family, “This is it! This is my dinner and meals for the next 2 weeks!” My husband and eldest son both chimed in together, “You won’t do it Mum!” Well, that was all I needed to hear! My determination took over ... the first 3 days were tough ... I felt awful, but I knew the headaches and lethargy would pass. By day 4 I felt normal ... and by day 5 I was feeling really cleansed.

By the end of the 14 days, I didn’t want to end it! I could have stayed on it for months, it tasted great and I was really enjoying the whole experience. I felt fantastic! I lost 5kg which I kept off. I gained a waistline again ... which I assumed was gone forever after having four children! My complexion looked amazing and hydrated. And the best part ... I was receiving compliments from everyone ... people who knew me well and people who rarely saw me were asking what I had done! I was very proud to tell them I had completed the “Lemon Detox Diet”.

I now keep a container permanently in the pantry. I often have a “Lemon Detox” Day each Monday to reboot my system after the weekend. It allows me to relax with my food and still enjoy having little splurges. But come Monday ... I restart my week with the “Lemon Detox” and my attitude remains positive and healthy for the rest of the week.

I would recommend “Lemon Detox” to anyone who has failed at diets before ... anyone who thinks they couldn’t do it ... anyone who wants their old body back. It’s there ... we just need to cleanse away the toxins and impurities and find our inner beautiful bodies ... they’re only hidden just beneath the surface!

Yours truly,

As a mother of three it is hard to keep up with the kids and over a cup of coffee with my friend she recommended I go on the lemon detox as she had done.
I listened to her talk and I could see a big difference in her so I thought I would give it a go.
I have never looked back.
Not only do I have the energy to run around after the kids, I have lost a full dress size, my skin is clearer, and I can actually sleep through the night (I am up 2-3 times a night).
Before I went on the lemon detox, people thought i was pregnant due to the bloating. Not only has the stomach gone, my body functions are normal. As a busy mum the lemon detox was quick and easy to maintain as we mothers tend to like things! I will continue to go on the lemon detox quarterly as it has benefited me and I feel fantastic. I recommended it to everyone especially parents.

I have never done a detox before and did lots of research before trying the Lemon Detox Diet. I must admit that the main driving force for me was weight loss. I am at home with 2 small children and so I was worried about how I would cope with preparing their meals. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as hard as I'd expected. The first day is the hardest but then it was fine. I wasn't hungry and still had enough energy to get through the day. I even managed to go to the gym a couple of times but that was harder than normal. When we were out I ordered a peppermint tea instead of coffee. I did the diet for 5 days and lost 4 kg. I will be doing it again soon.

Hi my name is Anna. As a mother of 4 young children, it isn't hard to understand that my system struggles on a daily basis because of the amount of energy taken from my mind, body & soul. Not just from child birth but our daily life. So I always keep an open mind to trying new idea's and the Lemon Detox diet was exactly what I needed. The need to eat is always on our minds and I have to say that just taking a break and not having to think about it for myself was a nice change. I lost 5kgs and re-energised myself. It's something I feel great about and will be doing at least every 6 months.

I just wanted to let the mums out there know that this does really work. I recently had my second child and not loosing the weight after the first, I had mountains of weight to lose. Being hesitant to try the lemon detox (as if it would help me lose weight), I was desperate to get the ball moving.
I decided to do it for five days, and being a busy working mum, I found it so easy to do. I would prepare a 2L batch, and pop it in a bottle and off I went. I lost 4 kilos in five days, and that was four weeks ago. I have kept it off and now my weight loss total is 8 kilos, not bad.
My skin is amazing and my food intake has halved. I definitely will be doing this again. I have recommended it to my brother, who started 2 days after me, and he lost 6 kilos on the five days, and now has lost an amazing 14 kilos!!!!
It really does work, and this is to all the people that told me it wouldnt. Try it for yourself.

As a mum of five young children I was a little worried that this product would not be right for me but after completing the seven day detox I can tell you that it was perfect!
Feeling tired was constantly an issue until I started the lemon detox. The first couple of days were the hardest...slight headaches and will power both proving to be the main battle. Day three was the turning point...waking up before the alarm with so much more energy was a great feeling.
Still preparing meals for my family constantly offered temptation but the goal and determination was much stronger than the need to cheat!
At the end of the seven days I was so pleased with the results. Firstly I had achieved an intensive detox and was feeling fantastic for having stuck at it and secondly the energy and new wellness that I was feeling made it all worthwhile.
I did also experience weight loss, which was a bonus.
Friends have noticed the results straight away and the compliments have been great. Its hard but worth it !! Give it a go ...
Busy mum of five!

I had great results on the lemon detox diet. I found the first 3 days the hardest as I was tired, but not hungry. I still managed to stay motivated of a night cooking with my children and even ironing!!! By Thursday and Friday I woke up feeling absolutely fantastic. Heaps of energy, clear in the head, focussed at work still a little tired at night. On the Saturday (as it was grand final day) I ate very little and very healthy and have followed this for the last week. I have lost around 5 kilos and my clothes fit heaps better a lot looser falling off which is exciting. I am ready to try it again I actually missed the drink this week water didn't do it for me. I have been recommending this diet to all my friends.

I have tried the lemon detox twice for varied lengths of time each time. I am 5 ft 2in tall/ 40+ yrs, mother of 2 children and had reached my heaviest body weight of 62 kgs. Decided I needed to do something to lose the inches around my waist in particular, before I lost control of my body shape due to lack of exercise and indulgent eating habits. Lemon Detox offered me the easy option with minimum exercise, as I do not have much spare time to do the same. So I decided to give it a try. I had previously tried many diets and lost a little, only to put it on again pretty soon.
Feb 2007 7 days and reduced to 56 kgs. The initial couple of days were hard, however, once over the hump days I was fine and at the end of the 7 days felt really clean inside and out- completely rejuvenated and satisfied with the outcome especially my body shape. I do not follow the saltwater treatment, however used an alternate herbal diet tea for movements. Over the next 11 months I gained some of it back, so before the indulgent festive holiday season I decided to give my system another clean out.
Dec 2007 10 days and reduced to 54 kgs. Same experience as above and on completion felt really detoxed.
Results: Definitely reduces your appetite and over indulgence urges resulting in a happy feeling. Fortunately I have not had any side effects like headaches/ fatigue etc and whilst on it kept my focus mentally on losing the inches, which kept me going and counting down the days. I might add I continued to cook the family meals with zero inclination of eating solid food for the period I was the diet. On completion I started by eating fruit and yoghurt and gradually back to healthy small meals. I believe a mental focus is required to achieve the results needed.
Would recommend it to anyone to use as an easy weight loss/control method with complete detoxing effects.

I have done the Lemon detox on a couple occasions and not only felt so much better for it I also lost around 7 kilos both times. Im very happy how easy it was to use and how I never felt hungry. Im married with 2 children and always feel my energy return after doing a detox.

Thank you so much. It really is a fantastic way to change your eating habits. I used to drink coke all day every day as well as first thing in the morning. I also ate junk food, I couldnt get enough of it, and I needed to lose my baby weight that I gained from having 2 kids. I did the detox for 6 days, I didnt get much side effects that I read about, just a headache on day two, I think I prepared myself for the worst of it which is good. I really feel great like I just had a shower, really clean and fresh. I think I have definitely kicked my caffeine addiction from the coke which I have been trying to do for 15 years.
Thanks again, I will definitely be doing this detox again, its easier than I thought it would be.
