Detox Diet - Day 3: Drink
If you're a heavy soda drinker and missing the fizz, sparkling water flavored with fruit is a delicious, calorie-free solution. (If carbonation triggers bloat in your belly, swap out the sparkling water for tap.)

Sparkling or Still Water With Fresh Lime or Lemon

Ingredients
1 cup sparkling or still water
1-2 slices (or a good squeeze) of lemon or lime

Directions
Place 1-2 thinly sliced lemons in a cup of sparkling or still water.
