But I Drink Plenty of Water!

By Dr. Jade Malay · April 2, 2010 · Filed in Better Zerona Results, Nutrition · No Comments »

Zerona LipoLaser patients are always telling me “I drink plenty of water!”  Well do you drink 64 ounces or 2 Zerona water bottles full per day”   “Well no, but I drink tea and coffee and fruit flavored waters all day-Doesn’t that count?”

No!  Water is supposed to be water-the minute you put tea or coffee or fake flavoring into it- it is no longer water.  Caffeine is a diuretic and actually leads your body towards dehydration – which is not what we want to do when we are doing the Zerona Lipo-Laser.  We want your body to get plenty of water to help flush out all the fat.  Caffeine also fatigues the adrenals –so in turn they do not function properly.

As far as flavored water or vitamin water…all that fake flavoring and additives just make the water taste fruity so companies can charge you a higher price.  You want to be drinking pure unadulterated water…if you are one of those people that don’t relish the taste of water, then by all means take a wedge of lemon or lime and squeeze into your water for a fresh flavor!

What To Do To “Reset” Your Body When Your Body Plateaus

By Dr. Jade Malay · February 12, 2010 · Filed in Better Zerona Results · No Comments »

Many times when your body plateaus in weight loss, something needs to be done to hit the “reset” button of your body.  The “Lemonade Diet” can do just that.  It allows your body to decrease sensitivities from commonly ingested foods, so your body can start metabolizing foods correctly.  Below is the outline of the Lemonade Diet.  These commonly listed ingredients can be found in just about any grocery store. Grade B organic maple syrup can be found at more health conscience stores such as Whole Foods.

The Lemonade Diet

This is a modified fast that is conducted for 3 to 5 days.  This is not intended to reduce caloric intake for weight loss but to decrease any sensitivities from commonly ingested foods.  A minimum of three days is required for the best results.  During this fast, do not take any oral supplements, but continue taking all prescription medications.
The drink is made up of lemon and/ or lime juice and the pulp, water, grade B organic maple syrup.  The recipe is listed below:

To one gallon of water add 1 cup of lemon or lime juice, 1 cup of grade B organic maple syrup and a small amount of cayenne pepper.  These amounts can be changed according to how tart or sweet you like it.

In order to keep your blood sugar stabilized you must take sips at least every 15 minutes, sometimes more depending on your particular situation.  If you are truly hungry, you can eat one food, a vegetable that you rarely eat.  Do not add any condiments to the vegetable.

Hot green tea is permitted to drink throughout the fast.

Be prepared to urinate and drink all day.

If you get tired, lightheaded, or start to have any negative symptoms you should make your solution sweeter and drink it more often.  If symptoms persist then you should call the office.

You should drink one cup of herbal laxative tea each night to keep the bowels moving.

Usually one gallon of the solution will get you through one day and you may need to make some more for night time and keep some by the bed in case you get hungry in the middle of the night.
