Purified Water & Lemon Power: Curb Appetite & Boost Metabolism

What makes purified water different from other types of bottled water is that it goes through a stringent filtration process. According to The United States Environmental Protection Agency, purified water is virtually free from all chemicals. It is filtered through a variety of filtration methods to remove chemicals, deposits and microbes, which can have a negative impact on the quality and taste of the water. Combine clean, crisp, purified water with the fat-burning potential of lemons and ice cubes, and you have a refreshing drink that curbs your appetite.

Instructions

• 1

  Remove ice cubes from two trays of ice and place them inside a pitcher designed to keep water cold. You can also crush the ice manually with a blender, or use pre-crushed ice, to make your drink colder.

• 2

  Wash and clean the lemons with cold water. Cut each lemon in half and then cut it again to make four equal sections.

• 3

  Pour water into the pitcher. Leave about 2 to 3 inches from the top to allow room for the lemon wedges.

• 4

  Squeeze the juice of the lemons into your water pitcher. Use the juice of only one wedge if you only like a little bit of lemon flavor and use more than one to give the water a lot of lemon flavor.

• 5

  Place the lemon wedges inside the pitcher after you juice the lemons. Insert a straw and enjoy your drink.

• 6

  Allow the ice to chill the water inside the pitcher. Wait at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

• 7

  Drink purified water with lemons throughout the day whenever you feel hunger pangs. Soon after you drink the lemon water, you will notice that your hunger pangs subside.
