First Time Mom and Losing It

**I received the product below free for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be a good fit for my readers. All opinions are 100% my own.

Whenever I have a bad weight loss week, where I eat things I'm not supposed to and don't exercise as much as I should, I turn to my Weight Loss Detox water. I first heard about this detox recipe on Pinterest and when I found out it came from Jillian Michaels I had to try it. I wanted to make sure the recipe was 100% hers so I did some research and found this video:


One of the main ingredients of the Weight Loss Detox Water is the Dandelion Root Tea. This tea has tons of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It is rich in Vitamins A, C, D, B-complex, iron, potassium and zinc. Dandelion Root Tea helps the body detox by helping remove excess water that causes bloating. This is especially helpful when you eat lots of foods that are high in sodium .

To make the tea, mix the following ingredients in a pitcher:

• 1/2 gallon of distilled water
• 2 tblsp lemon juice
• 1 tblsp pure cranberry juice
• 1 tea bag of Dandelion Root Tea

Allow the ingredients to seep and meld together for about one hour. Then sip it throughout the day. I do this for one week and usually lose at least 5 pounds with the help of eating right and exercising.


I love that the Dandelion Root Tea from KissMe Organics is raw which helps maintain more of it's nutrients as compared to the roasted kind. The KissMe Organics brand is also organic, naturally caffeine-free and extremely affordable when compared to buying it by the box in stores. It also has the added flavorings of hibiscus and cinnamon. Though they are very subtle it does help keep the natural bitterness of the Dandelion Root Tea away.

You can purchase a carton of the KissMe Organics Dandelion Root Tea on Amazon.

I love using essential oils because just a few drops works to help you clean naturally or just relax in bed. I love using essential oils in my mopping water or in a jar with baking soda to deodorize a room instantly. Since I was given the opportunity to review the Lavender and Peppermint essential oils from InstaNatural I got my creative juices flowing and mixed in a few drops of the peppermint in my foot cream to energize my feet and the lavender in my Weight Loss Detox Bath Soak below.



Last year I discovered that Dr. Oz Two Week Rapid Weight Loss Plan and was successful at losing a good amount of weight when I followed it. One part is eating a natural diet full of low glycemic vegetables and lean meats. The other part is doing the detox baths at the end of the day. At first it was hard for me to sit in a tub for that long because I am more of a shower person but then I took the time as my "me" time. I also made a 45 minute play list of my favorite songs and the time went by quickly.



I really don't know how it works but I know that when I consistently do my detox baths and eat the foods on the list I lose at least 5 pounds in one week. The plan and the detox bath are not easy to do so I tend to do it at least for a week a month or alternate back to back days of doing the plan and a low carb diet.
