Sassy Water Recipe for the Flat Belly Diet

BTW, it's not as though the Daily Mail has a monopoly on sassy water and 4-day Flat Belly diets: Prevention magazine has one as well. In fact, that's where this diet came from, a book that Prevention sells when you click through.

In fact, sassy water is named for Prevention magazine editor Cynthia Sass, and also because it's "a heck of a lot perkier than plain old water." See the Flat Belly Diet Cookbook info at REIZIT.

Anyway, the idea of this diet is to de-bloat you. And sassy water will do that, in a "cleansing" way, if you get my drift. The recipe is:

• 2 litres/3½ pints water
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
• 12 mint leaves

Too bad for me: I am allergic to cucumber. Ah well. Readers, try it and let us know. Most say it is refreshing, and cleansing.

Want the whole diet? Here's the book.
