Hot water and lemon

[louiselouise]

Does anyone else start their day with hot water and lemon? I was recommended this by my doctor and have been drinking it for about 10 days now instead of coffee and have been amazed that I have lost weight and feel great!!!!!

no citrus can burn fat although having something very sharp can suppress the need for sweet things for a while getting you through the high risk sweeter breakfast options. as it takes a while to drink it may also start to trigger the appetite control cells in your brain making it register something eaten rather than something to drink making you less hungry.

there is some suggestion that ginger may have a slight metabolic stimulus effect but nothing convincing science wise yet...what there is seems to be a side note from the investigations into its anti inflammatory potential. Ginger tea with lemon is nice any time though

I can't believe I have now gone two weeks without coffee and much prefer my lemon and hot water! My heart has stopped racing and BP has lowered and have lost 7lb which I presume was just excess water but the lemon water has flushed out my system and I feel fantastic

have you lost that weight JUST from having the hot water and lemon??

I started Slimming World on Thursday and thought I would give the old lemon and hot water a go. Weigh in isn't till this thursday but I have certainly cut down on my coffee intake. So fingers crossed it works for me.

Ann86, As far as I know the stomach acids neutralize lemon juice so I don't think it is acidic once in the stomach.

You'll be quite safe taking l/ juice with lanzoprazole. Take both first thing in the morning (when you get up I mean!)

What about PLJ as opposed to Jif?

[mojay]

I hadn't realised PLJ was still available - very tempted to try lemon+ hot water

Let's all have a month on lemon and hot water and report back. I'd so love it if it worked for me weight wise.
Diverticulitis is not serious but it gives one a MOST unattractive stomach!!
