If you want to lose weight, but if you cannot or you do not want to make significant changes in your diet, you should at least try this simple, but powerful diet with cucumbers. In just 7 to 10 days, you will notice significant drop in your weight. However, you have to be physically active on a daily basis to encourage the weight loss.

The Cucumber Diet

This diet is based on cucumber and you can eat is as much as you want, but you should consume it the most when you are really hungry. Cucumbers are known to stimulate weight loss because they speed up the metabolism, cleanse the whole body, aid the digestion, and detoxify the intestines.

Since they are mostly water, they will help your body remove the surplus amounts of water and trigger a complete detox, i.e. you will no longer have skin-related problems like acne. This is one of the main reasons why a lot of store-bought facial masks, as well as homemade ones, contain or are based on cucumber.
