Does lemon water count as water? :drinker:
NO
Only the purest water counts - you know that. :laugh:0 -
I mean, maybe...The only truth I can see to this is if you're substituting lemon water in place of sugary sodas/juices/other high calorie drinks. I mean, just replacing one regular Coke (12 oz ) with the same volume of lemon water will save you about 120 calories. So...you might notice some weight loss with just that one change in diet.
*shrug* Is it the magic weight loss bullet? nope.0 -

Warm lemon water with cayenne, just makes it taste good, and it will boost your metabolism if you drink it every day. Don't knock it until you try it. There are also many health benefits that go along with it too.
knocking it....
so I can eat 1000 calories over maintenance and just drink lemon water and cayenne and I will keep losing weight?
LOL Wow, I never said that. I just said it was good for you. Way to start an argument for no reason. LOL0 -

you said it would boost my metabolism...so that means that the calorie surplus would be negated by the boost in metabolism, right?0 -
Adding lemon into your Plexus Slim pushes out toxins even more. It's a great cleanse for your body, and very natural!

Eek there are a lot of replies!!!
I think a lot of the replies are a little exaggerated. Yes, taking in lemon water will not make you burn off more fat or anything like that. . . so in that sense the people saying "NO" are right. BUT. IF you replace SODA with lemon water-- that is if you are a person who hates drinking plain water and therefore goes for soda or juice or other sweet drinks for most or all of your liquid intake-- then YES, lemon water will help you lose weight if you replace all the sodas and juices with it because then you are no longer consuming all the sugar, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, calories etc. contained in sodas and juices.0 -

This is what I've heard of lemon, adding lemon helps the water to be alkaline, which is great for losing weight.
◾Lemons are antiseptic
◾Lemon water has excellent digestive properties and can ease heartburn, bloating and other digestion problems
◾Lemon water cleanses and stimulates the liver and kidneys
◾Lemon juice contains calcium, magnesium and potassium
◾Lemon juice has been known to relieve asthma
◾Lemon water (hot) offers relief from cold and flu symptoms while providing some much needed Vitamin C
◾Lemon juice is a great skin cleanser
starting every single day with a glass of lovely lemon water, it ignites the metabolism early in the morning, so if you are on a weight loss journey this could be the most important of the lemon water benefits.

Lemon water is good for other benefits. Alkalizes the body, helps the immune system, helps rid your body of bloat as lemon is a natural diuretic and makes you have to use the bathroom, which is good..but not fat loss per se.
A cup of warm lemon water is a great way to start the day!!

WHY do people keep saying that lemon alkalises the body?!
a) lemon is acidic
b) we have BUFFERS in our body precisely to PREVENT alkalisation, because if your blood were too alkaline, you would be dead!!0 -
Meaning it helps level out the ph balance of our bodies. We have a lot of acid coming from other areas...pollution, cigarette smoke, etc... And this helps to balance it out.Lemon water is good for other benefits.

Assuming what you said about cigarette smoke was true, why would more acid help to level out the body's pH (surely adding more acid would just lower the pH further), and why do we need something to level it out when we already have these very handy buffer systems in place to do precisely that?0 -

I don't believe it does. I think it help make water taste better so you are more likely to drink more cups throughout the day but I dont think it provides any additional nutrition that would assist you in losing weight more rapidly.0

But citric acid is acidic, not alkaline.

No, no no, see, its the minerals! It has minerals that alkalize the blood! Magical minerals that, despite being alkaline, somehow do not dissociate in the lemon with the highly acidic lemon juice. Only in your body.

Minerals.
Of course, for that highly desirable & potentially fatal condition, alkalosis!0
