i wanna know i wanna know i wanna know 2..:D
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
The hot water and lemon juice combination has more of a detoxing effect more than anything else, especially when taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It does help flush all the toxins from your body which, if you suffer from fluid retention, will ease any bloatiness and hence that's why people think it aids weightloss.
It's still good for you though.
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
So, you're not worrying about what you eat in your meal, but the lemon-water helps lose weight? How about just drinking water with your meal, a very sensible meal, it'll fill you up faster.
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
doesn;t the lemon harm ur stomach if taken consistantly? or does diluting it take care of that?
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
Good point Femme.........I would have thought that having something so acidic especially on an empty stomach would be harmful, but perhaps the warm water helps?
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
I have started putting lemon in my hot tea and it has really helped me with all the extra eating that is going on. I am not used to eating 2 full meals a day so it is killing my tummy and I threw up one day for some reason too so I started on the lemon/tea thingee and so far so good.
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
I know of a friend who tried it and she totally lost weight. I started it today but when I used the bathroom its neon yellow.. just like the lemon..
Shaz: is that wierd?
btw
long time no see
for my lil boyfriend harris. ![]()
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
What's neon yellow? Your bathroom or the colour of your urine? Drinking lemon should change the colour of your urine, but they do say that the lighter in colour your urine is the better as it means you're drinking enough water.
Now don't all be rushing off the the loo to check though!

Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
i've never tried this lemon water thingie but i know it shouldnt be done on an empty stomach....acidity factor
it should be done after/between meals....
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
it gets hamrful if ur having it constantly (and like me squeezing the biggest lemon u can find into a tiny glass of hot water)
after bout 3 months of having it constantly my hands all went funny for two days… not very good… but yeah, it did help to maintain weight :k:
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
sadz
what do u mean your hands went funny????
And girls how about adding honey to that lemon water???
Which works better? Just lemon and water or lemon + honey + water??
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
can u substitute limes for lemon?
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
oh its really good. add 2 tea spoons of honey along with half a lemon juice ( the small size) with half a glass of warm water. drink every day in the morning or at night. keeps ur tummy clean n yes u do lose weight.
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
doesn’t honey make u fat too? And no one answered my question about substituting limes for lemons. ![]()
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
Neera
I asked the same question months ago,
noone answered me either.
I have come to the conclusion they don't know either.
Re: Hot Lemon Water Diet
Yes, we do that all the time in my house…my Mum says limes have more juice in them…to me they’re the same almost, tastewise.
I used to drink lemon/lime juice with cold water as this is very good for ur body…but my problem was my throat wud always get really dry and sore…my Mum told me it’s just cos u have just started and after a few weeks it will get better…well it didn’t, so i tried drinking it with hot water instead, and added a lil’ bit of salt (which is good for sore throats) and now i have no problems…
Honey is also good but i can’t have it cos it’s garam…so u can add it for taste if u like it, but like all sweet things, it mite be fattening not sure.
