In this Make It Nice episode, host Dorinda Medley welcomes health coach Jorge Cruise to discuss his "Zero Hunger Water" formula and its role in intermittent fasting and weight loss. Jorge explains the simple recipe—1/4 teaspoon of any salt mixed into 16 oz of water, with optional fresh lemon juice and zero‑calorie sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit—describing it as an electrolyte drink that raises blood volume, improves hydration, and "turns off" hunger. Dorinda shares her personal experience of better sleep, skin, and reduced cravings after using the water. Jorge claims the drink can help users lose up to two pounds of belly fat per day when combined with intermittent fasting, and he personally consumes about six servings daily. Live callers ask practical questions: whether the formula works in seltzer or tea, if lemon juice breaks a fast, and how to apply the ratio to other beverages. Jorge confirms the lemon does not break a fast and that the same 1/4‑teaspoon‑per‑16‑oz rule applies to any drink. The segment ends with Dorinda urging listeners to commit to two weeks of Zero Hunger Water and intermittent fasting, directing them to ZeroHungerWater.com for more information.

This is Make It Nice with Dorinda Medley. Well, we're back and I've got one of my favorite people on, Jorge Cruise. He's worked with everybody. Weight control, intermittent fasting. I am so proud. I just love him personally. He's one of my COVID friends. He's one of my many COVID homies during the time. So with no further ado, Jorge Cruise, welcome.
Hey gorgeous, how are you? God, Dorinda, so good to see you. I missed you.
I miss you so much. He now lives in LA. He used to live in New York, so I saw him all time, but now he's too far away from me. I'm really, really excited about this Zero— you know, I do and still do the chia seeds, you know, it's just part of my life. Um, I love the fact that you now have this Zero Water, and I want to talk about the difference now. Like, do you do them both? Is this something— yeah, like, what— give me a little background. So Jorge's really great about dropping belly fat.
I want to introduce you to Zero Hunger Water. It's a special water that turns off hunger during the— you can drink it all throughout the day, and, and what it is it raises blood volume levels. Plain water is not the same as Zero Hunger Water. Grab a 16-ounce container of water, and all you have to add to it, it's super simple, 2 simple ingredients to get the main thing down. First, any kind of salt, 1/4 of a teaspoon, that's all this is, 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt. You put it in your water just like that, right?
I was so amazed when I started drinking water with salt in it and how hydrating it is.
This is what we call, this is an electrolyte. This gives you incredible calm energy. But it quells hunger so you're not hungry all day and it gives you this lift. So 1/4 of a teaspoon in 16 ounces of water. And then I love just freshly squeezed lemon juice. And then if you want sweetener, stevia and monk fruit, keep it to zero sugar. So basically you have whatever kind of salt you like, 1/4 of a teaspoon, a little lemonade, you shake it. That's it. Isn't that easy, Joanna?
And how many of those should we drink a day?
I drink on average like 6 of these.
Wow. I have to force myself to drink water, so I have to really make sure I'm aware of it. But when I do drink water, I sleep better, my skin's better. It's just the best because I think we do. I think we all suffer from terrible dehydration. And I think dehydration, and correct me if I'm wrong, kind of makes you tend to feel like you're hungry.
Well, see, you got it. That's the whole science. If you hydrate, but not just with water, you need sodium, 1/4 of a teaspoon into water, 16 ounces. It has to be that ratio. Of 1/4 of a teaspoon to 16 ounces of water. You do that, add some lemon to it. It's simple. Can add stevia or whatever. That water will super hydrate and increase blood volume levels. When you have high blood volume levels, not only do you feel like better, Dorinda, but best of all, you don't feel hungry. Literally, it turns off hunger.
And do you suggest, which I'm sure you do, that you, you do this water with the intermittent fasting if you want to lose the belly fat?
Oh, 100%. Yes. The thing, if you want to get in the best shape of your life for this summer, guys, this is the key. I do intermittent fasting, right?
You know how powerful that is. You guys, I, I can't tell you, this is not a hoax. It's so powerful. And the amazing thing is, is how fast the weight comes off. Like, once you get through the first 2 or 3 days, it just drops.
It's so fast. You can drop up to 2 pounds of belly fat a day. A day.
Oh really?
And the key to it is having zero hunger. That's why I call it zero hunger, water.
Oh, we have— I think— do we have a call? It's Julie from Pennsylvania.
I love seltzer water, and I'm listening to you and I'm going, this is like genius. And I just wondered, you know, can I put it in like my sugar-free tea or seltzer water?
Whatever beverage you have, Julie, add 1/4 of a teaspoon. Make sure it's 16 ounces though, okay, Julie? 16 ounces, 1/4 of a teaspoon, and you're set. That's all you need, okay, Julie?
Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, you're a miracle.
I want to get Lori from Louisiana quickly.
Yes, thank you, Deronda, for taking my call.
I love you.
And my question is, if you're adding the lemon to the water, are you breaking your fast? Because lemons aren't necessarily calorie-free.
Does the lemon break the fast?
No, no, it does not. Lemon does not. You'll be safe, 100%.
And make sure you go to Jorge Cruise Cruise's, uh, website. Give it again.
ZeroHungerWater.com.
I'm going to tell you something. If you can commit, if you can commit to the Zero Water, this intermittent fasting for 2 weeks, you'll see such a change in your body and your energy level is off the charts. Anyway, believe it or not, Jorge, we're done. I love you, Jorge, and I'll see you. Thank you.
