I keep seeing posts on Facebook, Pinterest, etc. about these weight loss drinks that you are supposed to drink in the morning and sometimes at night that claim to aid in weight loss. They usually are a combination of lemon, honey, cinnamon or capsacin diluted in water.....and variations on this. Has anyone tried these drinks? Do they work?

    If they worked, no one would be on MFP, would they?

    I had a couple beers with lunch. I'm going to weigh less in the morning if I don't eat a good dinner too. Other than protein drinks to help fill in protein macros there's nothing special about any sort of drink. Except beer of course. That's special.

    Capsacin? Seriously?

    I mean don't get me wrong the other ingredients don't do a thing for weight loss either but I just wanted to highlight this one because...damn. Is the logic here that it causes severe agonizing pain so therefore it is good for you?

    I mean I admit if you put lots of capsacin on all your food you probably would eat less.

    Daily celebrations with beer are necessary.

    Deer urine, skunk scent, motor oil. Pretty much all of these would make you eat less.

    Yeah just to put that into perspective Bear spray....the extra-strength pepper spray used to ward off bear attack, yeah that is 2% capsacin.

    The pure stuff would pretty much just kill you.

    Also not sure what you are going to put it into because capsacin isn't water soluble, if you put it in water it wouldn't mix.
