Especially if you'd had a wine or two the night before and not drunk enough water before going to bed.</p><br/><p /><br/><br/></p><br/><p>Also found that I like to sip another glass or two of the water with lemon during the day so I'm going through a lemon a day.  Good for my vitamin C [...] saxelby@foodwatch.com.au Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:00:00 +0100 weight loss water super foods hunger diet http://foodwatch.com.au/194-my-lemon-with-water-experiment-day-2.html <p>Started my morning with a chilled glass of water with lemon juice as yesterday.
