    Nothing wrong with lemon water if you like it, but as for magical health benefits, it's woo sorry. You can look that up too ;)

    One renowned dietician would disagree that it's woo.

    Is there a link to an article about lemon water?
    I don't know if she researched it or just has good results from clients doing it. I don't really care. She's successful at and educated enough at what she does I don't need to research all her recommendations myself just like I don't with my doctors or other trusted professionals. She is of course not the only expert to recommend it. If you choose not to trust her authority, that's fine, but "that's woo" from someone on the internet holds zero authority to me.

    It's not like they're suggesting people spin around three times and howl at the moon or send them $99 for a lemon water starter kit.

    I just meant I did a search on her site and couldn't find an article on the benefits of warm lemon water. I thought you could point me to it?

    Why would I say I don't know if she researched it and didn't care, if I could point you to a link of her research?

    Those balking at her rates.... How much does Alan Aragon charge for personal consultation, etc.? Lyle McDonald? They sell pdfs and all kinds of things. Does that mean they're not authorities?

    Clearly your body is lacking lemonosity. Try drinking some warm lemon water and the hidden portions of the website will become visible to you.

    Are there lemon flavored peeps, perhaps?

    I didn't say research - I said article. Like even an imagined example of the benefits as she sees them. I know there's no research, that much is clear.

    I had so much fun with this as a kid. This is a legitimate example of the magical benefits of lemons!

    Seems like she is pro water and thinks lemon in warm water might be a way to get people to drink it.

    https://dawnjacksonblatner.com/2015/07/you-arent-sick-youre-just-dehydrated/

    I think it's kind of weird to need a trick to drink enough to avoid dehydration (and I am another person who likes my water ice cold and without any mixers), but maybe that's what she's focusing on?

    Anyway, nothing about the alkaline balance or whatever.

    Despite the ONE RDN who advocates for it...I am doubtful of any health effects. And even if it's later proven that my doubts are wrong, this can be safely filed in "majoring in the minors".

    What makes you think there is only one?

    Good point....based on the follow up posts on this thread it sounds like zero is probably closer to the truth.

    Hydration will make you feel fuller? Who'da thunk?

    So the fact that she disagrees with the vast majority of authorities in her field yet offers no research or scientific basis for her stance doesn't raise a red flag to you? You blindly accept her advice simply because she had a title? Because she calls herself an expert you'll take her word over all the scientific evidence currently available even though she gives you no reason to believe what she says is true...and you're proud of it?
    Wow.

    As for Aragon and McDonald, yes, they get paid for researching and reviewing studies. And the people paying them for this? Experts in the fields of fitness and nutrition.
    They aren't making trumped up claims to get you to buy some product. They're applying themselves to science and getting paid to review and engage in legitimate scientific research.

    Hot liquids definitely help me to feel full. And I like lemon water too. I usually just have tea in the mornings though.

    Lemon water will also help neutralize any bad breath, lol!

    I never knew there was a correlation between warm liquids and satiety. But I have noticed that a cup of coffee will curb my appetite between meals.

    Barbara Rolls, PhD, did some work on the effect of water on satiety. I don't know if she studied hot water in isolation but she did find that soups were more filling to people than the identical foods served in non-soup with an identical serving of water on the side, to drink.

    From my own unsubstantiated research, n=1, I agree with this.

    A bowl of warm soup is far more filling than a small amount of chopped vegies and a tiny dollop of sour cream and a glass of cold water - despite fact that ingredients are same in each.

    There was a programme on the Beeb (I think) where they did this experiment with Army cadets or something, I think they took ultrasounds of their stomachs (or similar, watched it quite a while ago) and observed that the soup stayed in the stomach longer than the individual ingredients plus water. It was quite interesting but unfortunately I can't remember what it was called...

    Anyway this thread has made me really fancy a mug of lemon and ginger tea, because lemon is tasty. It has also made me want lemon slices (of the Mr Kipling variety).

    Oh, yum, ginger. That sounds good.

    I don't know if the temp of the soup or the fact you eat it slowly with a spoon matters, but I too am more filled by it.

    I think it's also pretty accepted that a smoothie is less filling than the identical ingredients eaten in non-blended form.
