I have heard about this, but cringed at the thought of it, but I finally kicked myself in the behind and decided to try it out. I've been doing it for a week now and have lost almost 4 pounds! After doing my research I found out that it regulates the bodies digestive system and gives you vitamin C. It also helps the body break down sugars better, and more. The catch though, is that you should drink it warm, which makes it much less tasty, but I just plug my nose and gulp it down like Theraflu :laugh: Has anyone MFP's tried this yet or contemplated trying it?

    I haven't tried it, but maybe the water isn't what's making you lose weight. Maybe you've just been eating better/ working out more. Could that be the case?

    I haven't heard of this. Is it a replacement of breakfast or just start your day off with warm lemon water? How much do you drink?

    I tried this and could not stomach it! I found it revolting :( I would have loved that type of loss though! Very glad it's working for you :)

    I do this quite a lot- but not to replace breakfast! (I don't think that's what she's saying).

    Hot water in lemon is an amazing tonic- it goes right through you and gets your system moving, so to speak, in the morning.

    I have it before I eat anything. It also works well as a diuretic so it helps to banish excess water weight :)

    It sounds like the warm lemon water may just be filling you up so you don't eat as much. I know if I drink anything hot, it makes me feel full. If it's the vitamin C...why not just take a vitamin C pill? If it's in excess...it's a water soluble vitamin so you'll pee out the excess.

    My friend swears by this. I tried it last year along with dieting and it worked, just not sure how well.

    ya know - my brother does this to help with constipation.....do you think it has made you more 'regular'.......which of course is great for you and would help with weight loss!

    whatever - keep doing it!

    I was told by a nutritionist that it also purges the liver of toxins and I noticed my bowel movements were yellowish for a couple of days after which they were normal. My migraines, which I had been suffering for months cleared, so something worked!

    Actually I just had a baby three weeks ago and I had such HORRIBLE water swelling in my limbs and it was painful. My aunt told me about the water with lemon and it's all I drank for almost two weeks and the weight just FELL off and within days the swelling was gone!

    Lemon is a natural diuretic and I do drink my water with lemon juice in it. I think even cold it still works the same, maybe just a little better warm though!
