The Lemonade Diet?

I was doing some searching around on the latest fad diets, and I came across one called the Lemonade Diet. People are saying this is another way of losing weight via the Lemonade Diet. I'm not a positive testimony to that claim.

Years ago, I myself have done this "diet". I drank a bottle of Minute Maid Lemonade atleast once a day for it's antioxidant properties. I didn't have any knowledge about antioxidants at the time, but I felt that drinking alot of lemonade reduced your risk of sickness. And I barely got sick for that whole year. I didn't even get the flu during the winter, and that was a big deal, as I usualy did every year. I felt invincible to sickness. It was a good feeling.

Far as drinking lemonade to lose weight, I never lost an ounce of fat during my lemonade drinking days. The only benefit I got was not getting sick. I think one of the reasons why some feel it helps lose weight is because they reduce the total calories they eat in the day, substituting some meals with lemonade. I know lemonade can be beneficial, but not beneficial enough to be a good meal replacement. Actually, eating a small portion of meals up to six times a day can really help you lose weight and stay energized... but that's another story in the future.

Drinking lemonade can help your immune system, and provide antioxidants. But it's possible that your weightloss via the "Lemonade Diet" is probably due to a placebo effect. Like you think you have more energy, so you become more active.

Lesson of the day is: Diet's don't work, weight watcher's does! xD
