Wanna try an experiment?
Okay, yesterday morning and this morning, I tried a Hot Water Therapy
that my East Indian friend told me about. And last night, the whoosh fairy took 3 lbs, breaking a week-long stall and putting me in the 50 club! It would be great if some of the posters here would give this therapy a try with me, to see if it can be used as a stall-buster. The purpose of the therapy is to cleanse your insides and drop a few pounds. Here is what you do: Every morning, for a week, drink 4-5 glasses of water *as hot as you can stand it* in as short a time as you can. Then, go for a 15-20 minute power walk. Then continue with your breakfast and normal daily routine. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to the water if you like, and you can take some cayenne capsules for added burn. I took two yesterday, but skipped them today. I like the lime juice, though - it makes the hot water much easier to drink. What do you think? -- Regards, Deb 260/209.5/135 |

Could be... but it's just water (and lime + cayenne if one chooses).
East Indians have a lot of beauty secrets, and my friend says this is one of them. She is not the type of person to spout "hooey". But, it may not work for everyone. That's why I suggested an experiment.

East Indians also have a lot of snake charmers and other assorted flim flam
artists. -- You take stupid to a new level. -- MFW "barrdbarrbarr" wrote in message news:9N5uc.609$pX3.399@clgrps12... Could be... but it's just water (and lime + cayenne if one chooses).

I asked her when she told me about it. She says that the infusion of
heat followed by the walk kickstarts your metabolism. She also didn't force the issue - she said it works for her and her family, and that is something they do regularly. I did some google research, and I found quite a few references to similar East Indian cleansing techniques. I don't suggest it's hard science. But, I take her word that it works for her. I felt very good after I tried it, so I thought I would share it with the group. With all things, YMMV.

How would it help your body for hot water to hit your stomach in a large quantity? And, so it gets in the stomach....so what? Ask her for the theory behind this plan, please. Pat in TX |

Fair enough.

Regards, Deb I am generally wary when people use the phrase "cleans the inside of your body" or something similar. I don't believe our bodies NEED the insides cleaned! As for "kickstarting your metabolism" , is she using that phrase to suggest your bowels will move shortly after doing this? That doesn't "cleanse" anything---it is just a normal body function. So, for these reasons, I don't think it amounts to anything suitable to do. Pat in TX |

I've heard reasons behind this as being - it helps digestion and aids in dissolving fat, or as you say, gives you a good cleanse. Whether it's true or not, who knows.

Even low carbing one still gets plenty of toxins in their bodies. It builds up. If you don't "cleanse" every so often your body will simply go into dis-ease.
