At this very moment, it is snowing... and I am freezing! But, that doesn't mean that my mind isn't focused on getting a beach-ready body! Starting a healthy eating and exercise regimen well before the summer months gives me a little breathing room - which I love! I hate the "pressure" that swim suit season brings, and I certainly don't want to embrace crash dieting just to shed a couple of pounds before a day by the pool. So, I'm starting now - you should too!

| Dr. Oz Swimsuit Slimdown Drink |
Your Secret Swimsuit Weapon
I don't know about you guys, but I love Dr. Oz. His show is so informative, and is always packed with healthy little tips and tricks! I feel like his advice is my secret fitness weapon - I take it and run with it!
Unlike other "detox" drinks, the Dr. Oz Swimsuit Slimdown Drink is tasty, awesome, and actually works. Plus, you can whip it up using ingredients that you probably already have laying around your kitchen!
Here's What You'll Need:
- 1 Cup Grapefruit Juice
- 2 Tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 Tsp. honey
Apple cider vinegar is a known fat-burner - it helps to break down fat cells, and encourages proper digestion. Just drink it three times per day before every meal, and watch as the fat melts off!

Would this work with any other juice? I can't drink grapefruit, but would love to try this out. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey There!
DeleteSince this is a Dr. Oz recipe, and now my own, I really don't know if it would work with another juice. However, I don't see why it couldn't! Perhaps if you tried it with blueberry juice, pomegranate juice, or another high-oxidizing juice, the results would be the same. Give it a try and let me know how it goes! I'm curious too :)
Thanks!
It says on the front page with the picture grapefruit or orange juice. I bought oj today and am going to try it with that because I cannot drink grapefruit juice as well , will let you know if any weight drops off.
DeleteIt will work with Orange juice or pineapple juice but it need to be natural what makes u lose weight is the citrus that this fruits contains that there are grapefruit , pineapple , and Orange
ReplyDeleteGreat to know! I love pineapple juice :)
DeleteThanks so much for sharing!

Is concentrated ruby red grapefruit juice ok?
ReplyDeleteYep, it should work the same! I'd try to find a low-sugar version, if you can though. Good luck!
DeleteWhat does the honey work for
DeleteHey There!
DeleteHoney has a TON of health benefits, and is a natural energy booster, so it works as a great additive to this drink. You can read more about the health benefits of honey here: http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/health-benefits-of-honey.html
Honey will help with allergies, if you get local grown honey. You want to get it from the whoever is closest to you.
DeleteThe juice you use should be fresh squeezed only, not from concentrate.
DeleteNot having much luck getting the honey to mix in well. Wonder if it will work without the honey?
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it without the honey, but it is worth a shot! Let me know how it works out!
DeleteI would think you could just take the honey, and drink the vinegar and juice. However, I have a feeling the honey might make the mixture taste better. My problem is stopping with just 1 tsp of honey. Love it!
DeleteI don't see why you couldn't just take the honey right before/after you begin drinking, it shouldn't make a difference at all! Go for it! I totally know what you mean about loving honey... I drizzle it on everything! Hey, it's got numerous health benefits, and it tastes like pure bliss, so why not?! ;)
Deletetry desolving the honey in just the vinegar than add the juice.
DeleteI'm also having trouble getting the honey to dissolve...if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!!
DeleteI actually used a whole Tablespoon of honey. Mixed only the juice and vinegar together and took a nibble of honey before each gulp of juice!
DeleteIf everything is room temperature and you let it sit a minute, the honey will dissolve
Deletetry to put it all into the blender,it will work for sure,this is how I make my sons morning shake,which consists honey :)
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI use a magic bullet and drink it straight from the container ~ works great!
Deletethe actual recipe found on Dr's OZ's site doesn't even call for honey-you are MORE than ok with not adding it!
Deletehttp://www.doctoroz.com/videos/swimsuit-slimdown-plan
It has to be warm for the honey to dissolve. Mix it warm then chill it.
DeleteTry agave? Or Grade B Maple?
DeleteMicrowaving the honey it will warm up and it is easier to mix in the drink.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Thanks!
Deletemicrowaving honey will kill all the beneficial vitamins in it.
DeleteOh really? I had no idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
DeleteRun it under some warm/hot water for 30 seconds or so instead of microwaving.
DeleteOoh, I like that idea! Thanks! :)
DeleteTry a blender, it works great!
DeleteDo not heat the honey in the microwave or in boiling water. Its like breast milk and the microwave destroys all the good stuff.
DeleteI mix the vinegar and the honey before putting it into the juice. This helps it mix a tad bit better!
DeleteI talked to a guy who makes honey and he says to set the honey in sunlight for abt. 30 minutes, never heat in microwave or put in hot water this will kill all the benefits of the honey, also your store bought honey is pasteurized so it has no benefits, need to buy raw unpasteurized.
DeleteWould this be safe to drink while breastfeeding?
ReplyDeleteHello! I don't see why it wouldn't be, but to be sure, you might want to run it past your doctor. Everything in it is natural, so there shouldn't be any issues! But, when it comes to breastfeeding, better to be safe than sorry! Good luck :)
DeleteI'm a grapefruit juice addict, but had to stop drinking it while nursing because it irritated my babies tummies. Not sure if they were just super sensitive, but be aware just in case!
DeleteDefinitely run it by your doctor, because on most honey containers it says right on there that infants and children under the age of 2 (fairly certain it's two) should not consume honey.
DeleteToday I tried it for the first time! How is this drink going for you now?
ReplyDeleteI love this drink! It makes me feel "full" before I start eating so that I don't end up over-indulging, and I've noticed a huge boost in my energy since I've started drinking it. I think this will be something I do all year round :)
DeleteAfter the holidays, I got a little off track (like everyone else!), so to get back on the healthy bandwagon, I am doing my 5-Day Turkey, Berry & Yogurt Diet (http://thekatechroniclesblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/5-day-turkey-berry-yogurt-diet.html) to cleanse my body of all of those gross toxins. That, combined with this drink, is making me feel incredible!
How did you like the drink for the first time? I love how easy it is to whip up, don't you?!
I could barely taste the vinegar! I'm also doing The Insanity workouts (Never been so sore in my life lol) But so far so good! I was just hoping this drink actually did work on people before I started on it! Thanks for all the great info :)
DeleteI'm so glad you liked it! I don't even think it tastes bad... maybe I'm nuts, but I kinda like it! :)
DeleteYes, the insanity workouts are, well... insane! Ha! I've done them before, and I was left panting for air on the floor, lol. Guess that's how you know they work, right?! ;)
I just read over your 5 day Turkey detox. If I read correctly, it stated no juices. By reading your comments here, it seems you are drinking this mixture with the turkey diet.....if that correct? Is this fine to drink with the turkey diet?
ReplyDeleteHi There!
DeleteThanks for checking our the 5-Day Turkey, Berry & Yogurt diet! Yes, I do state that no juice is to be consumed while following that diet. By that I mean, that the only thing you are to be drinking is water with your meals. Since this is a separate detox diet, I am combining the two. However, I am continuing to drink ONLY water with every meal. Sorry for the confusion! :)
Can you drink grapefruit juice while taking a statin drug?? Thanks. MM
ReplyDeleteHi MM,
DeleteI'm not sure if grapefruit juice is safe to consume while taking a statin drug. To be sure, I'd ask your physician - he or she should be able to give you the best answer!
Grapefruit juice contains enzymes that can interact with certain medications like simvastatin by slowing down your body’s ability to metabolize them.
DeleteThis means it will take longer for your body to get rid of the simvastatin when you drink grapefruit juice, which can potentially lead to having too much simvastatin in your body. This can lead to more side effects, like muscle pains.
This interaction does not happen with all the statins. For instance, there is no interaction between grapefruit juice and pravastatin, found in Pravachol.
One has to consume 5 liters per day for the grapefruit to interact with statins. It's in the package insert.
DeleteHave you seen any results with the Dr. Oz Slim down drink?
ReplyDeleteWhen I drink it, I feel very "full" so, I don't eat as much as I normally would. Plus, it greatly reduces belly bloat and makes me feel all-around "better." So, yes, I'd say that I've seen awesome results :)
DeleteKate-How much have you actually lost?
DeleteBe careful drinking grapefruit juice when your taking cholesterol medicine! Drinking grapefruit juice with some statins can be dangerous. Check with your Dr. first!!!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteNo one has posted about any actual results. Who has done this and actually lost weight? Just wondering if it really works.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Yes has anyone lost any weight
DeleteI was wondering the same thing.......
DeleteYou can't just drink this and lose weight people. You want to lose weight, exercise, eat right, and stay active.
DeleteThen what's the point of drinking this? Why not just exercise, eat right and stay active?
DeleteI have been loving it. The main thing is that it's speeding up my metabolism. I'm not sure on the whole breaking down fat thing, I know the cider/vinegar does but to a point. The main thing is it's helping my digestion process. I'm hungry all of the time now. It's flushing water out of me like crazy. It's a supplement for me, not a crazy diet thing.
DeleteActually apple cider vinegar doesn't break down fat cells. Nothing does that except good old fashion exercise. Vinegar has been shown to make people feel fuller thus causing them to eat less.
ReplyDeleteHow long do you drink this for?
ReplyDeleteTrying this for the first time today in water and cherry pomegranate crystal lite not too bad
ReplyDeleteDo you drink the whole mixture 3 x per day or 1/3 of the mixture 3 times?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Will the effects change if I drink half of grapefruit juice with the 2 tablesppins of apple cider vinegar and the honey?
ReplyDeleteIt is 2 tablespoons of the Apple cider vinegar, & not 2 teaspoons. I looked it up on the Dr. Oz website. & you drink the mixture 3x a day.
ReplyDeleteOkay here's my dilemma-- I've been doing this for a few days now, and staying VERY full. I'm on a strict 1200 calorie diet with lots of exercise, trying to lose weight. This drink is supposed to be helping to BURN calories, BURN fat... should I be counting the calories of the drink into my 1200? I feel like it should pretty much cancel out, however I don't want to go over my 1200 calorie goal.
ReplyDeleteHELP!!
if you're counting calories, then every calorie should be counted. thinking it will "cancel out" is the first step on a slippery slope of "it was just a bite, probably only like 10 calories, so it doesn't count", etc etc.
Deletealso: everyone drinking this, please remember that the only thing this drink is good for is to make you feel fuller so you don't over-eat, therefore less caloric intake, therefore lose weight. the mix itself doesn't actually burn anything.
Make sure y'all are putting in two TBS not TSP of apple cider vinegar, the blog post is not the same as the actual Dr.Oz website
ReplyDeleteThe Dr. Oz website says 2 tbs but it is def 2 tsp. It's absolutely disgusting with 2 tbs - made me sick! The clip from the episode says 2 tsp so 2 tsp is right!
Deletehttp://www.doctoroz.com/episode/dr-ozs-ultimate-swimsuit-slimdown
I have been doing this n my belly has been going down. I like vinger I can take it straight so I have no problem on doing this drink. Yes I do work out n yes eat less. As far as energy goes I haven't found it to help out as of yet
ReplyDeleteThe Dr. Oz website says 2 tbs but it is def 2 tsp. It's absolutely disgusting with 2 tbs - made me sick! The clip from the episode says 2 tsp so 2 tsp is right!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.doctoroz.com/episode/dr-ozs-ultimate-swimsuit-slimdown
The instructions on the side says 2 tsp but he actually says 2 tbsps. Based off of how much was inside of the little dish that she poured into the grapefruit... it really is 2 tbsps :( lol
DeleteI really want to try this but hate vinegar and grapefruit....haha. maybe I can try a different juice?
ReplyDeleteCan you taste the vinegar in the drink?
I heard there was some side effects for this as well? Have you had any side effects when drinking it?
ReplyDeleteDoes any one know if you do it 7 days a week or twice a week today is my first day .
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take until you start to see results from drinking this along with dieting and exercising and does anyone know if this actually works or it's just fluff?
ReplyDeleteThe infection has become too strong for the medications. If you wish to know how to tell if
ReplyDeleteyou have a yeast infection, then it is essential to have a knowledge of the identifying
signs and symptoms of yeast infection. Try to eat several fresh cloves a day in your
cooking.

Do you 8 oz. before each meal-the website says a shot before each meal.
ReplyDeleteI am very sensitive to sugar and find maple syrup more energizing and tends to have little or no spike in my sugar levels. I've tried this with lemons and it gives me energy all day long. Oranges would be way too sweet for me. I get the maple syrup online where one can read the reviews.
ReplyDeleteBe careful where you get your honey. The honey sold in most stores are ultra-filtered, heated, contains no pollen, and worse yet, may be diluted with inexpensive high fructose corn syrup, which if you don't know by now, will make you gain weight and is poisonous to your body!
Internet selling for beginners is somewhat of associate degree figure
