Jillian Michaels recipe for losing 5 pounds in 7 days...

Does anybody what to take a stab at this? Does anybody have a definite answer as to whehter you put the tea bags in hot or cold water?

Adrian bryant | 05.04.08 - 6:35 pm

I still didn't see a definate answer about the dandelion root tea bag. Do you just dump it in cold water? From what I understand, bags of tea don't steep as well in cool water.

Jaimee,

Have you Gone here for danelion tea bags

Adrian Bryant | 04.26.08 - 5:11 pm

I can't find Dandelion Root, but I found Dandelion Leaf. Is it the same thing?

Jaimee |   04.25.08 - 3:33 pm

Debbie,

Go here for danelion tea bags

adrian bryant | 04.23.08 - 4:33 pm

Where can I find Dandelion root teabags? (Live in a very small community) Can I substitute it with something else?

chellek ,

There's no need to do this but th extra water is a good thing!

Adrian Bryant | 04.20.08 - 12:03 pm

Do you need to drink the 60 ounces of this drink as well as your normal water intake(mine is about 67 ounces of plain ole water?

chellek |   04.19.08 - 11:46 pm

Robin2yu,

Just avoid eating TOO much salt period! some salt is fine - and it's okay to seep your teabag in water

Adrian bryant | 04.03.08 - 6:23 am

you say you can eat food during this but only food without salt.
Should it be low cal food or any kind of food?
Also, do you put the teabag in the cold water?
Thanks!

Robin2yu| 04.02.08 - 11:56 am

Ryan,

You can eat regular food (just avoid too much salt).

All this is... Is a natural diruetic drink that flushes excess water weight from your body.

Adrian Bryant | 03.30.08 - 11:47 pm

Hey, so... basically all you do is make this drink and drink it over the next 7 days? Do you eat food? How does it work?

Ryan |   03.29.08 - 7:56 pm

Sherri, I talked to a dieticain today and she said it doesn't matter because either way you do it - you don't lose any nutrients by boiling or droping the tea bag in water

Adrian Bryant | 03.28.08 - 8:15 pm

Still not sure if you are suppose to boil the tea bag and add the 6oz of it to the water with the leamon and cranberry? or do you just drop in a tea bag to the water mixture?

Sherri | 03.27.08 - 2:19 pm

emoral,

It probably can but... There's only so much water weight a person can lose and you'll probably end up losing most of your excess water weight before the 7 days is up and to prevent water weight again...

Drink at least 1 liter of water a day, eat a balanced diet of carbs, protein, and healthy fat while avoiding too much salt

Adrian Bryant | 03.25.08 - 6:15 am

Can this be done for more than 7 days?

emoral1152 | 03.25.08 - 12:35 am

The tea bag question hasn't really been answered yet. I am assuming one would have to boil 6 ounces of the water and let the tea bag steep for 3 minutes, and then add this to the rest of the water. The only other way I know of to get the tea into the fluid is to set it in the sun like when one makes sun tea. How else can one add one tea bag to this recipe??

Leisa | 03.23.08 - 8:36 pm

Sammie,

The 60 ounces is supposed to be dranked thruout the day so yes... You can drink half & half during the day

adrian bryant | 03.21.08 - 5:09 pm

60 onces is alot my nalgene only holds 32 at a time so should i do half the recipe and than the other half withthe nex batch?

Sammie | 03.21.08 - 4:12 pm

Rae & Mayse,

I don't think you boil the water and green tea is okay but danelion is a better for "water weight loss" and no sugar added is okay

Adrian Bryant |03.20.08 - 11:59 pm

Do you boil the water?
Is no sugar added okay?
Can i substiture green tea with dandielion root?

Mayse | 03.20.08 - 11:39 pm

do you boil the water, and then put the teabag in? if not, how do you use the teabag?

rae |03.20.08 - 10:26 pm

D,

the Cranberry juice with 'no sugar added' should be fine

adrian bryant |03.14.08 - 3:46 pm

Hi,

II found everything at Whole Foods...however there was no 'sugar free' Cranberry juice -- just 'no sugar added' -- is this what Jillian is talking about? Thanks!

DD | 03.14.08 - 11:19 am

Anonymous,

That's what Jillian says is best but... you can go here for another way to lose 5 pounds of water weight in 2 days if you don't like danelion tea

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.08 - 9:14 am

Does it have to be dandelion root tea bags?

Anonymous | 03.09.08 - 4:09 pm

ccorona,

Go here for danelion tea bags and...

There's no need to take this longer than 7 days because all of your "WATer" WEIGHT should be flushed out within 7 days

Adrian Bryant - weight loss gu | 03.06.08 - 6:15 am

Were can I buy the Dandelion tee at? And could I take this drink for more than 7 days?

Thank you

MANDEE,

You drink the 60 ounces of this diet drink during the day and you don't have to drink it all at once and YES...

It can be store bought lemon juice and make sure it's sugar free cranberry juice you're using

Adrian Bryant | 03.02.08 - 9:44 pm

how do you get the tea bag into the water without boiling the water? do you just leave it in or do you take it out? and do you drink it all at one time or in parts of the day? and can this be the lemon juice you buy from the store? and the cranberry juice?

MANDEE | 03.02.08 - 1:38 pm

Vjirginia,

I wouldn't boil the tea bag but I don't think It'll hurt your weight loss efforts all that much and remember... You're only losing excess water weight by doing this so... If you plan on losing more than 5-to-10 plans - be ready to go a good weight loss program afterwards to lose weight fast

Adrian Bryant | 02.24.08 - 2:39 pm

In the diet plan , do you or can you boil the danelion tea bag?

Vjirginia B. Cannady | 02.24.08 - 2:13 pm

Stacey,

according to Jillian Michaels in the video - You need to try to drink at least 60 ounces of this drink once a day for 7 days

Adrian Bryant | 02.08.08 - 6:00 pm

How many of these do you drink a day?

Stacey | 02.08.08 - 9:54 am

meka,

Please read the last part of this article to get your answer:

Basically if you drink enough water and limit your salt intake - you won't get bloated or gain water weight

adrian bryant | 01.17.08 - 10:31 am

Where on the body is water weight mostly carried? Since it's only water weight that's being lost, will it come back? If so, how soon?

meka | 01.17.08 - 12:32 am

In your case yes read how to lose 5 pounds in 2 days to see why

When you don't drink water - you force your body to retain fluid for survival and yes...

People will notice you've lost weight even though it's water weight

adrian bryant | 01.10.08 - 1:14 pm

i dont really drink water so would i even lose that much water weight? and would anybody be able to notice that i lost weight since it isnt fat?

christina | 01.09.08 - 11:17 pm

Can U eat food? Yes, but keep your salt intake low to avoid retaining any extra water

adrian bryant | 01.10.08 - 1:16 pm

Can you eat food?
