Posts: 8
Ok, so I know this is a "crash diet" but it's not made me hungry, I'm losing weight and I have energy and I'm happy. Been drinking lemon in boiling water throughout the working day and fruit and veg when hungry - I have my evening meal, something small and healthy.
My question IS - is it ok for your metabolism for you to drink mainly lemon water without much food at all - I KNOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS SO NO PREACHERS PLEASE! just an answer
Thanks guys x

You need to make sure you are gettitng your daily nutritional requirements to avoid any health problems.
I doubt lemon and a bit of fruit & veg does that.0 -
where's the protein? or do you dislike your muscles? (your heart being one of them)0

thanks for the preaching (see earlier comment!!!)
it was a straightforward question regarding metabolism. it is not a long term thing!0 -
if anyone can give me a straight answer please do0

no, in the short term it wont do any harm, but when you start eating properly again you will probably gain the weight back... therefor it was pointless doing it in the first place.... plus if you starve yourself you are more likely to binge... sounds fun!0

Simple, no preaching answer?
*NO*0 -
When you put lemon in "boiling water" you lose the vitamin C and other nutrients.0

Preachers no preaching!
In all seriousness. This sounds miserable and no amount of lemon water, even if it benefitted will make up for a crap diet. Eat at a moderate deficit and lose weight the right way. You knew what response you'd get♡0 -

They did give you a straight answer. No, it is not advised. You kinda answered your own question with all the shouty caps; I don't think you really need us to back up your suspicions.0 -

stop it with your common sense... it isnt wanted in here!0 -
Messing up everything from a nutritional point of view but you are concerned of your metabolism?
-not preaching - just stating a fact... Can we still be friends and share water and lemon recipes?0 -
By "no preaching," you seem to mean that you don't want anybody to disagree with you in any way.
Ain't gonna happen.
What you're doing is unhealthy. Stop it.
Eat at a reasonable calorie deficit and call it a day.
Nothing else is necessary for weight loss.

the answer is no.0 -
You know bouts of malnutrition show up in later life as osteoperosis and advanced aging, right?0

if anyone can give me a straight answer please do
YES - after 3 days your metabolism will start to adapt to a very low calorie diet.0 -
How about stop starving yourself and do things in the manner in which you know is the right way. Serious.0

I have a weird feeling you just called upon yourself a shistorm of preaching and loads of common sense from anyone passing by!
Still not preaching - can we be friends (pretty pretty please) and share recipes of lemon water?0 -

why even post a thread if you only want answers that conform to what you are doing?
but if it makes you happy ..yes, this is very healthy and there will be no long term side effects....good luck!0 -
