    She definitely doesn't think it's magical but she recommends trying it. Her client won this reality show that pegged diets against each other. Which is neither here nor there, just adding the context.

    "Tip: Drink hot lemon water each morning & 16 ounces water before meals."

    I don't think critical thinking is magical, but I recommend everyone try it.

    So your definition of critical thinking is to ignore the recommendations of industry experts and ... listen to random internet forum posters with opinions?

    Her views do not reflect the majority of the industry.

    The fact that she uses the term "superfood" is enough reason to dismiss her claims out of hand

    Drinking *any* water, at any time of day, is going to make you feel satiated... because you're PUTTING SOMETHING IN YOUR STOMACH! Drink enough of *anything* and you'll get a "full" feeling. If anyone's claiming there's some magical ingredient in lemons that works better than plain Jane water, then I have a bridge to sell them...

    I'll stick to my own critical thinking, no offense intended. I prefer expert recommendations to random internet opinion. If I don't reply further it's not that I'm conceding anything or without further thoughts.

    If you like lemon in your water that's great..makes it taste nice ..tiny bit of vitamins

    Drinking 16oz water directly before eating will most probably help cut the calories you consume

    Tricks are fine if you like and need them..Woo is fine for personal use but when you wrap it up and try to sell it as a magical weight loss aid it becomes something less

    the thing is even people in the fitness industry,some of them believe what they have read or what they were taught. on that show that was linked. there were a few trainers that peddled woo and bs. especially the one who believed in detoxes.

    One renowned dietician would disagree that it's woo.

    I don't know if she researched it or just has good results from clients doing it. I don't really care. She's successful at and educated enough at what she does I don't need to research all her recommendations myself just like I don't with my doctors or other trusted professionals. She is of course not the only expert to recommend it. If you choose not to trust her authority, that's fine, but "that's woo" from someone on the internet holds zero authority to me.

    It's not like they're suggesting people spin around three times and howl at the moon or send them $99 for a lemon water starter kit.

    Dr. Oz is educated, too. Didn't help him any. ;)

    Exactly. "Superfood" is pure marketing woo. As soon as you see BS like that, there's no sense even reading any further if you're interested in evidence-based solutions. Nothing but magic pill/snake oil peddling will follow.

    Hot liquids definitely help me to feel full. And I like lemon water too. I usually just have tea in the mornings though.

    Lemon water will also help neutralize any bad breath, lol!

    I never knew there was a correlation between warm liquids and satiety. But I have noticed that a cup of coffee will curb my appetite between meals.

    Barbara Rolls, PhD, did some work on the effect of water on satiety. I don't know if she studied hot water in isolation but she did find that soups were more filling to people than the identical foods served in non-soup with an identical serving of water on the side, to drink.

    Because your stomach can tell the difference once it's in there? Bunk, I'm afraid. Sorry.

    Based on how much she apparently espouses the lemon water thing, I expected a $10 per day premade morning drink. Free shipping when purchasing a 90 day supply, of course.

    I've honestly felt the opposite. When I'm out and about with water but no snacks and I'm hungry, I'll drink water and it just ends up reminding me how hungry I am.

    No, but she is charging $497 for a 14 day program, $10 for a 30 day text challenge and charges for "superfood swaps". She is offering lemon water to entice you to buy the other programs she offers.

    Clearly your body is lacking lemonosity. Try drinking some warm lemon water and the hidden portions of the website will become visible to you.
