She could have used a little more imagination. While I do believe in the healing power of lemons, I prefer the banana diet.:D

I think it was a male doctor who came up with it. I didn't really have a chance to read it. Obviously, you can't compare a lemon and a banana, since you can't "eat" a lemon for breakfast -- Yecch! So it must be something about drinking some of the juice or something.

There are various fruit diets that predate the Morning Banana Diet, in Japan and elsewhere.

The lemon diet might work sort of like the Grapefruit Diet: Eating the grapefruit (or drinking lemon juice) right before a meal does a number on your appetite, with the sour taste and all. And you don't really feel like eating sweets afterwards.

I tend to share the opinion of Banangurl...

It's better to stick with the banana diet than the Lemon diet, as I think we couldn't intake enough nutritious from the raw lemon!

However, maybe a cup of lemonade is still fine with me here lol

Possibly a bit of lemon squeezed into my water to make it more tasty. And when I make fish There's nothing better than a lemon herb sauce. Using lemon in subtle ways is a great added zing to any recipe, big or small.

Isn't lemon too acidic for breakfast? I still prefer the banana diet.

Maybe grapefruit would be a good compromise. :D

Lemons that early in the morning makes me pucker my lips like an old woman. hah! I prefer bananas in the morning.. it has awesome fiber that i can't afford to cut out of my diet.

Drinking lemon juice in the morning gives be acidity and tongue seal. I have tried Lemon and honey in lukewarm water. It makes me sick. I am good with Banana diet and I am going to stick with it.

I do not think there is a lemon dite as such.... years ago it was though to be beneficial to weight loss by, first thing in the morning having a glass of water with lemon juice in. It was supposed to break down the fat. At that time you could buy bottles of lemon juice with the instructions written on there. I think the juice had a simple name like PJ, the taste was very sharp. Then they brought out one which had artificial sweetener. YUK!.

Lemons are good for you as they have a high Vit C content.

I tried both banana and lemon juice and I can say that the two of them are effective. Like them both.:)
