  6. What do you do with the water that your teabag was sleeping in? Pour it into the batch or discard? It says add teabag not the water?

  9. Hi there! One little question... Do you steep the tea in a tea pot and add that to the rest of the water and ingredients? I want to be sure that I'm not boiling a pot of 60oz of water lol. Thank you!

    • Here is a good link for foods you should create into mini meals, shoot for five small meals a day, add lots of protein for breakfast. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/251568329162300460/ Yes, add the 7 day detox drink in with your healthy eating plan.

  11. I have a question... the ingredients state you only need one tea bag but then in the instructions it says to make tea per what the box says (which is one bag per 8 oz. so what exactly an I supposed to do? 1 bag for the 60 oz or 8 bags for the 60 oz?
    Reply

      • I am still confused on the mixing, I made 8oz tea, added the lemon and cranberry....and it was awful. So I think what you are saying is...... Make the tea with 1 bag as directed on package. Add that 8 oz of tea tot he 60 oz of water, then add the lemon and cranberry as well....... is that correct? so it's really a watered down drink? I mean 60oz to 8oz tea....

  13. Hi there, I have never done a detox before but I'm going to try this one. Should I lay off working out while doing this or does it matter?
    Reply

  14. Do you drink it at certain times of the day, or whenever? I usually drink some in the morning after breakfast, some before and after lunch, and the rest at night after dinner.

  18. The instructions were so clear, I don't understand all the confusion. Your a saint for replying so kindly. Peace.

  19. So I've noticed on YouTube videos their water look pinkish, am I doing something wrong?...Is the water suppose to look pinkish?

  23. Ai drank this for the full 7 days and quite enjoyed it with the two tea bags. I'm on Weight Watchers so fluid is an important part of the plan. Since finishing the 7 days my fluid intake has dropped to about 16oz a day :(. Can I just continue back on the "60oz tea"?
    Reply

    • I am not familiar with the Weight Watchers plan and am not quite sure what you are saying, you can only drink 16oz a day of water? Oh boy, you really need to make sure you are hydrating yourself, you sure can continue the drink, I drink it every day.

  24. Can you continue drinking this detox for more than 7 days (with regular water)? Or even just the tea for a longer time? I like the taste and the way it makes me feel.
    Reply

  26. I did this for 7 days. Drank the mix just as explained, ate healthy and exercised regularly. This has made me so constipated and is doing the complete opposite, which has made me gain weight. I am very upset that this diet has now made me have a very big health issue of being constipated and gaining weight. Any explanations for this?
    Reply

    • What sort of food are you eating? How much did you drink everyday? Do you drink additional water? Certain medications and supplements can cause constipation, are you getting too much iron, not enough fiber, too much dairy, taking antacids, or taking allergy medication? That can all lead to constipation. Psyllium Husk is great for constipation and will have you regular in one day, I personally take this daily.
      Reply

      • I am drinking extra water because I know 60oz is less than advise water we should be I taking. I actually cut out all dairy and currently am on no medication. I have had a very healthy diet including egg whites, Eziekel bred, sweet potatoes, chicken and green vegetables are most of the food I am consuming. I have never had a bowel issue until this.
        Reply

        • You may want to up your fiber, make sure you are getting at least 25 grams a day, that is what is recommended. The ingredients work to help you urinate more, I am not sure where the constipation is coming from, keep drinking your water, if it continues, you should consult your doctor.
          Reply

          • Well after stopping this detox I have had regular bowel movements and back to myself. I feel if you are going to have a comment section like this, you should be more knowledgable of certain factors before promoting. Saying to consult your doctor seems to be a cop out and saying you really do not know how this diet works. I was very excited to start this but I am completely disappointed in whoever you are that is posting reponses. I have read quite a few on this page and a lot of your responses are inaccurate, incorrect and unhealthy.

          • I am sorry you feel that way, I do not claim to be a trained medical professional, nor a dietician. I personally drink this 3 times a week. Not everything works for everybody, each body is particular, you may get constipated by a certain drink or food when another may not. It is all about listening to your body. Again, I am truly sorry you had a bad experience!

    • You sure can use Ginger Tea, Ginger has many great benefits! The dandelion tea helps in the digestive process differently than the ginger, let us know how it goes, the bottom line, drink lots of water :-)

  28. Hi I am currently trying this drink, this is my second day. I boiled my whole 60oz of water in a pot (I don't drink tea much) then I let the tea bag sit in it for about 15 mins. I then toss the tea bag, this is okay to do? I use 2 separate plastic containers so I can't leave the tea bag in it. Also I can still drink water right along with this drink correct? Thank you very much! Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow, I just want to make sure throwing the tea bag out is OK and drinking more water is still fine to do?
    Reply

      • Thank you. Just one more question. Will this have the same benefit after I finish this week, if I just drink a cup or 2 of this a week? Will it keep my water weight off? Or do I have to keep doing the 60oz for a week? I already seen a 3 pound drop!

  33. I cannot find dandelion tea anywhere, is there another tea that can be substituted or does it have to be dandelion tea?
    Reply

  35. I have made the drink in order to start tomorrow morning! I could only find diet cranberry juice is that ok?! Hoping this detox drink helps me in losing 5 stubborn pounds! Please let me know if the diet cranberry juice works...
    Reply

  37. Would it okay to double up on some of ingredients like the cranberry, lemon juice & tea. I tried making according to the recipe and I honestly find the taste really gross. I've had to chug small glasses of it just to get it down.

    • I personally drink purified water BUT if you normally drink tap water, by all means use that. Some cities you "hear" that your water is not so good from the river it may come from. You can also give the water a good boil then let it cool, this is a perfect time to drop that tea bag in!
      Reply

      • Ok, we have been ranked top ten in the country for best tasting water, and I usually do drink the tap water. I just didn't know if there was something significant with the purified or distilled water, versus tap water, and honestly didn't even notice it specified until after I finished my first 60 oz this morning. Thanks for your help!

    • Tart Cherry Juice has many great benefits of drinking, the cranberry juice though has specific responsibilities for this drink. Cranberry juice is a natural way to cleanse the whole body from toxins and impurities. It also helps you urinate more frequently. So for this drink, you do want to use Cranberry juice. Look for one with the least amount of sugars or all natural as in the post.

  40. I find that the tea has a very in appealing taste to it so I use a little more lemon juice to tone the taste down, is this OK to do? I also haven't been keeping my tea bag after I steep my tea because the taste from the tea that I have steeped already is a little strong in that flavor. Should I just buck up and deal with the flavor. I know I am drinking for the benefits not taste but I if the way I am doing it is fine that would be great.... Ha ha. Thank you for all of your help

  42. I tried this our for 3 days, on my fourth day I was extremely dizzy. Like I had been spinning all day. I called my doctor and she said I had probably washed out my bodies electrolytes and to drink some Gatorade to replenish them. After a bottle of Gatorade I felt better. Since then I have done research on this "detox" all it does is make you pee a lot because dandelion root is a diuretic . There is no scientific proof that your body is being detoxed. Your body has the be detoxer on the planet and it's your liver. So unless you like the taste, I don't recommend this to anyone.
    Reply

    • I am not going to disagree with your doctor. Each person has different results with how they approach a certain substance that goes into their own body. I personally could never drink a bottle of Gatorade, I would be jacked up on the sugars, but if it helped you, awesome.

  43. Been drinking this for 3 days and I have horrible, stinky gas (sorry tmi)....and I'm super bloated...is that normal? I thought it was suppose to de-bloat? Is gas a side effect of drinking dandelion root tea?
    Reply

      • Just my normal diet which is fairly healthy ..actually just drank same recipe all day today but replaced dandelion tea with green tea and had no issues so must be something with dandelion tea that doesn't agree with me ...thanks for speedy response though :-)

  44. I'm on my third day with this Detox Drink and feeling fine and lost a pound and I am wondering if after the seven days could I continue drinking this?

    Reply

    • I would go off of it for a week but continue to drink plenty of water. Just to make sure your kidneys can handle all the added urination. I do this drink a lot but my body is used to heavy urination and then replenishing with minerals. Great job!
      Reply

  48. Can I just let the tea bag sit in there? I don't have time in the mornings to actually boil water and wait 5-7 minutes and add it to my pitcher. Thanks!
    Reply

  50. What kind of food can we eat while on this detox water ? Some cooked chicken or beef with cooked veggies and salad OK every day ? Also is concentrated cranberry juice OK ? Thanks

  51. I ran out of the tea but my sister gave me dandelion herbal pill. It says take one a day. Can I take the pill then drink the 60ozs of the cranberry lemon mixture
    Reply

  52. Hi! My friend is doing the 7 day detox but she also adds green tea on top of all the ingredients you recommend. Is this okay to add, or should I just keep it the way you suggested?
    Reply

  57. Is there a reason why it is only recommended that you drink this once a month as opposed to continuing after the 7 days?
    Reply

  58. After reading this you seem to be agreeing to EVERYTHING ingredients..methods etc bit of contradicting going on...I will try this 2moro...fingers crossed I lose some weight 👍
    Reply

  59. I am confused a bit. Can you use water from a refrig that has a filter on it? Do you throw the teabag away or toss it in the pitcher with the water?
