Cynthia Stirs Up Sassy Water

We call it Sassy Water because it's a heck of a lot perkier than plain old water. But the ingredients in here arent just for flavor: The ginger also helps calm and soothe your GI tract.

Even more important: The simple act of making this Sassy Water every day will serve as a reminder during the Four-Day Jumpstart that life is a little bit different, that things are going to change. It will help you focus on the task ahead: Getting a flatter belly once and for all.

The Recipe:
2 liters water (about 8 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
12 small spearmint leaves
