Hello has anyone heard about drinking hot water with lemon in the morning? I read you're supposed to drink it about an hour before breakfast. Just want to know if anyone's tried it and if they see any benefits.

    I tried it when i have stomach ache or flu. It is really great for stomach and relaxation.

    I do not drink every morning, just when i need some rest. I prefer to drink it after a meal or on evening. I do not think is good to drink lemon in empty stomach.

    I read this in a few places as well that its supose to wake up your digestive system and suposedly for diabetic it helps lower your blood sugar if drank prior to a meal.

    I do - every morning since starting my new routine...Ive found it helps start my water consumption for the day and Ive heard it helps get your metabolism started but Im not sure thats a fact. But I have been told to rinse staright after it as the acid is bad for your tooth enamel.

    I drink this as I have IBS, it is good for the digestive system, you can also buy Green Tea with loemon wich is full of anti-oxidants and is caffeine free

    I sometimes drink it in the morning but I have it with breakfast. Remember you're supposed to eat within 30 minutes of waking up to start your metabolism for the day :)

    While I don't like any advice that says "you're supposed to..." do anything....


    I drink a mug of hot water with lemon in it first thing every morning. I usually make it, go back to bed and sip it while listening to the news on the radio.

    so it only works if you drink it 30 minutes before you eat breakfast?

    I drink it probably every day either before of with my breakfast and have done for a long time.
    I need to pee about 10 mins after lol and if I dont have it I feel a bit blergh/sluggish.

    It is supposed to be good to 'flush you through' first thing, wake up your metabolism and obviously any extra flush your kidneys can get it good for you too :)

    I have been doing the 17 day diet and this is one of the things they suggest you doing. I personally haven't noticed a difference.
