I swear, that stuff is AWESOME. Not only is it yummy (I like sour stuff) but its cheap too! I thought all the health benefits, weight loss benefits and energy benefits were a load of crap but I can see the world of difference and really feel amazing in the AM before my workouts when I drink it! Anyone else a lemon water lover? Just wondering if those who are have noticed any difference as well? I can definitely notice the most difference in my energy levels!

    It seems to help my stomach...which I would think it being acidic it would not but, it helps and yes, love the taste.

    I have read that although lemon tastes acidic to us, it is actually very alkaline in our bodies.

    yep, I drink filtered water with fresh lemon slices all day... and love it. I'm a coffeeaholic down to 1-2 cups a day and hardly miss it. I also never realized that water curbs your appetite.

    I have a glass of water with lemon in it every morning. I also put in 2T of ground flaxseed meal and gulp it real quick. I do it on faith-- I don't notice any difference in any part of my being.

    I thought I would give this a try, love lemons on some things but never was big on lemon in my water.

    Just wondering for 64 oz of water, how many lemons should I add?

    Probably depends on whether you're infusing, or squeezing.

    I like mine infused in a glass gallon jar, cold from the fridge (1-2 lemons thinly sliced is plenty enough for me). Heavenly when it's hot out, plus the extra vitamin C doesn't hurt. Infused water with frozen berries is something I haven't tried, but hear it's wonderful.

    Do it to taste, basically, And if you're infusing, just understand that the longer it infuses, the more intense the flavor gets.

    I drink soda water with lime/lemon every day, suualy at least 2 litres. I have a soda stream, just fizz my water and add a squeen of juice.

    I dont do it for any health reasons, I just like the tatse. Funnily, I like still water plain but don't like it with lemon.

    I love lemon water, but since it isn't really easy to carry lemons around with me, I've been using True Lemon. I also use True Lime when I need to mix it up. Anyone else try these? It's so handy to be able to throw a handful in my purse and take them along wherever I go! Especially considering the water at my work has a funny taste by itself, and I can't have lemons with me there either.

    Drink it daily. Love the flavor and it is supposed to help with my tendency to develop kidney stones. I had one blasted last year that was 12mm. His name was "Calvin"

    I drink a lemon water to start my day before i eat anything. "Supposedly" it helps the digestive system, but i don't know whether it really makes a difference. But i've been doing it for the past year. I haven't found a reason to stop. Lemons aren't that expensive.

    Maybe a dumb question but to people add the lemon into MFP calories?

    Also, I'm reading up on this and it seems to be a consensus that folks are using one half of a squeezed lemon per cup of warm water. Is that the case for most folks?
