Why Drink Detox Water?
For years I was obsessed with diet sodas, I figured “they’re zero calorie, so they must be good for me” but all along my beloved diet sodas were causing weight gain, migraines, breakouts, and chronic pain!
When I started my weight loss journey, the first thing I did was give up diet sodas. In one week (without changing anything else in my diet or exercise regimen) I lost 10 pounds. Simply by swapping diet sodas for water and homemade detox water recipes.
I lost 10 pounds, just by trading diet sodas for detox water!
As I continued on with my weight loss journey, I started adding metabolism boosting, bloat reducing ingredients to my water, and the detox water craze started right here at Lose Weight By Eating.
I created the Apple Cinnamon Water drink that started the craze. And I’ve been creating more detox water recipes since to help people drink more water, get more metabolism boosting ingredients into their bodies, and lose weight easily with detox water for weight loss recipes.
I even got to talk about my soda to water weight loss journey on the popular health TV show The Doctors! And the doctors themselves agreed, this is the healthiest way to lose weight!
So if you want to feel better, look amazing, and reduce pain, inflammation, headaches and migraines. Then try some of my doctor recommended detox water recipes. I know you’ll love them as much as I do!

What Is Detox Water?
Detox water is an infused water recipe that helps flush your system of toxins and improves your health. Some detox water recipes have added beneficial ingredients which help your body in some ways (like boost metabolism), but the main beneficial ingredient is water.
I like to add an array of metabolism boosting ingredients, as well as bloat reducing ingredients. This way you see results right away when on a healthy water diet.
Popular Ingredients in Detox Water:

- Melons – melons can add a boost of flavor and nutrition. Watermelon helps reduce inflammation and is great in workout drinks!
- Pineapple – all the vitamin C in pineapple creates a super metabolism boosting drink. Not to mention pineapple infused water is so yummy!

How Often and When Should you Drink Detox Waters?
Detox water recipes are meant to be enjoyed anytime of the day. They help you drink more water and cut out chemicals and artificial sweeteners by giving you a healthy alternative to diet sodas and sugary drinks.
With that said, there are times of that day you can maximize the benefits of detox water. Specifically, when drinking on an empty stomach.
For maximum benefits, drink detox water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
I also like recommend drink a glass of weight loss detox drinks before each meal. They fill you up a little and curb appetite, so you’re less hungry. This will help you save calories.
But remember, I created detox waters to help you drink more water. So there is no “wrong” time of the day to drink them. Simply enjoy them in place of other drinks and you’ll start seeing and feeling the benefits right away!
Special Tip: Detox water is great to bring along with you and sip all day as a delicious hydrating treat.
How to Make Detox Water
Most infused water for weight loss recipes are made the same way, however in this article, I do have some detox tea recipes, and other hot detox drinks. So be sure to read the directions for each of the top 25 detox water recipes below.
For every detox water recipe below, the preparation steps are pretty much the same:
- Drop ingredients in the bottom of a pitcher or fruit infuser bottle.
- Use a muddler to squish the ingredients a little bit.
- Cover with ice about 1/2 way through then fill to top with water. Place in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
- You can refill the container 2-3 times before it begins to lose flavor.
These ingredients are based on making in a 2 quart pitcher. If you plan on using a portable fruit infuser, you’ll want to scale down the ingredients by about half the amount or less for recipes with a lot of ingredients.
Special Tip: You want to add the ice in step #3, it holds down the fruit and other ingredients so you get more flavor and nutrients. If you skip this step, the ingredients will just float on top. If you want to drink it at room temperature, simply follow the directions and leave on the kitchen counter. The ice will melt and it will come to room temperature in a couple hours, and be perfectly infused too!
Most recipes for water infusion are made the same way, and it’s made extra simple when using a special bottle for infused water! If you use an infused water bottle, you can skip adding the ice.

- If you don't have a fruit infused pitcher, add 3 cups of ice to the top of the water. Do not mix, but instead add to the fridge. As the ice slowly melts it will keep the fruit submerged longer. This will intensify the flavor!

If a fast is what you’re looking for, this is the drink for you. Though we recommend a healthy diet as opposed to a fast, we felt this was an important drink to include.
This Lemon Water and Cayenne Pepper Detox Drink first became famous in 1976, in a book called “The Master Cleanser” and has been reintroduced in 2004 in a book called “Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days” and made famous by celebrities like Beyoncé and Jared Leto who use it to lose weight fast.
With this drink you skip all solid food for a week and only consume this drink, if you are looking for something this drastic (and you are under the care of a doctor) go ahead and try it, though a healthy diet will give you more long term results than a one week fast.
