    Step 2.

    Rinse the lemon thoroughly, rub with a brush. Then cut into thin slices. To make the drink not too bitter, choose lemons with a thin skin, so that the white layer between the yellow peel and the pulp is as thin as possible - it is she who gives bitterness. Or you can completely cut off the entire peel to the very pulp.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Wash the cucumber, dry it and cut it into thin circles. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, is not necessary to cut off.

    Step 8.

    Drink should be consumed half a glass at a time. In total, there can be from 4 to 6 meals a day in combination with proper nutrition. With unlimited consumption of high-calorie fatty and carbohydrate foods, the drink is unlikely to give the effect that we would like. Bon appetit!

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

IMPORTANT! Nutritionists do not recommend drinking the drink to people suffering from allergies to one or more components, as well as kidney failure, chronic diseases of internal organs, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. Any diet should be approached wisely.
