Default 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?

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.

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.

What is the theory behind this idea? 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.

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.

Some people are just not open to others' ways. Even (especially) in North
America. I'm not surprised about the resistance in this thread.
Lots of cultures do this too: japanese, chinese, even greeks know and
practice this on occasion. Not necessarily the method you described, but
drinking hot water yes, and/or with a dash of lemon as a bonus. 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. But it certainly isn't something that would hurt anyhow.
There is usually a good reason behind the customs/methods of "old wives
tales" in every culture.

Sure they do. 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.
