How long is a piece of string?

Yes hot water with a slice of lemon is allowed. If you add lemon juice then that will have more carbs.

I have just looked in Fitday and a slice is around 0.5 carbs and the whole lemon around 5 carbs. The rest is up to you.

Hot water and lemon juice is often recommended on detoxes as a way of boosting liver function. You're supposed to have it first thing in the morning before you do anything else.

It's something I was doing even before I started low carbing. I can't be bothered with buying and squeezing fresh lemons, so I use a "10 count squeeze" of bottled lemon juice instead I measured it one day and it was about one teaspoon of juice, amounting to less than 1g carb.

dosent sound nice though!!
give me anice cup of tea anyday (LOL)

Lynda,

I thought the same at first, but I assure you the taste grows on you Besides, the fact that I'm drinking something that's good for me rather than the opposite adds a certain incentive to my tastebuds

well nothing ventured nothing gained I may give it a try cheers
