I have 19 days left to lose 4.5 lbs... This is to help me hit my dietbet challenge weigh in goal and win some $$$! I did the Fat Flush diet about a month ago and lost 12 pounds in two weeks.

In 8 ounces of the cranberry water, add either 1 full teaspoon of powdered psyllium husks or 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds. Be sure to mix the psyllium quickly and drink it immediately to prevent clumping. Also, this goes down best with a straw.
