Myth #4: I can lose weight by following the celebrity lemon diet. Truth: People who have observed the diet tend to swear by it as it leads to instant weight loss, fewer junk food cravings and glowing skin (we seriously doubt this skin glow). The diet comes with side effects too. One may experience recurring headaches as the extreme fasting takes a toll on the body. And in order to maintain the lost weight, one has to continue measuring their calorie intake closely. Regular exercise becomes a must in order to maintain the lost water weight. Also, one needs to check their salt intake as high levels of sodium, if consumed after following this diet, can lead to instant weight gain.
