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.

    YES! It's yummy, helps with bloat, and I feel like it helps my digestion.

    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?
