Hi, could someone let me know about organic lemon and what to do.  I remember someone stating something about microwave but cannot remember.   Suggestions welcome and thank you in advance.

      Thank you David, I don't know about the honey as I am pre diabetic and am watching my sugar intake.  Well maybe a wee dollop would do.

    I think the advice is to microwave the lemon for one minute. It gives more juice this way. Divide the juice in 3 and take it 3xday, diluted with water. Someone else will confirm if correct.

      Well now that's handy I think I would use both as I cannot always get out. That brings me back many years as I think my mum and my granny (no longer here) used to use it as a slimming aid.  Memories memoriescheesygrin

    I leave a lemon out of the fridge and use half in a mug of warm water with a little Manuka honey. I did try to microwave one, but must have done it for too long, as the hot juice splashed out when I cut it, so be careful. I did it for 1 minute on high. Maybe you are meant to use defrost!

    Anyway, I find that leaving a lemon at room temperature gives plenty of juice. Also roll it on the worktop with the Palm of your hand helps.

    Also, if they are unwaxed lemons, I grate the peel into a small container I keep in the freezer. Then you can't add a pinch or two to cooking.

    There was also the tip of taking your first lemon drink first thing, before food. Sorts out the acid in your tummy before you start your day, apparently.

    i remember the PLJ as a slimming aid too. This fresh lemon juice does the same of course so I'm hoping it's going to help me with this excess..... fat as well!

      Judging by the amount of lemon juice I get through on a regular basis it will be a rather forlorn hope sad and I'm sure I did try the PLJ approach too!

      Did notice the claims on tinterweb but didn't read them. Maybe I should!
