WARM LEMON WATER IN THE MORNING!! :)

I've heard of that as a tea with a tablespoon of honey. Same thing?

I drink lemon water throughout the day, but never warm. Do you know what makes it different? Is this a meal replacement for you?

Yes I have had this though not in the morning. Lemon with hot water or herbal tea. Lemon does contain vitamin C and makes great tea.

I would love to know the science behind this. The only link referenced above is a livestrong article that quotes another article in the Daily Mail (*cough*)

Vitamin C is found in abundance is most fruits.

Methinks this is a potent placebo effect at work here - unless someone can show me a study by a medical journal.

Well this is an age old thing from India all the supposed yoga gurus, those who live in the Himalayas a lot of Indians are aware of the honey water with honey in the am.
Technically lemon/ lime is a cleanse,r cleanses is the liver. though acidic becomes alkaline in the stomach and as for warm water according to Indian medicine warm water is used for detoxification. In the west cold water is good to burn calories but eastern thought is after a fatty meal fennel or warm water is good to burn fat.

I have tried that innumerable times honey and lemon definetely good all spas will do this and the new book 17 day diet recommends it.

I do it and I find I feel so much better on the days I do have it. I love lemon water and prefer my water warm so I actually enjoy it. Drinking it first thing in the morning also helps me eat less for breakfast. By the end of the morning I usually have anywhere between 1-3 cups of it (some before and after breakfast). Whether it has helped me lose weight, I don't know 'cause I've never considered it for that. I started doing it because of my brother, he swears by it to help cleanse his system.

I wonder if a hot tea with lemon in it would have the same effect? It would mask the taste better without adding a bunch of calories and completely taking away from the properties.

No offense...but the livestrong website is written by someone with a business degree, and the http://www.outofstress.com/lemon-water-lose-weight/ website is written by someone that does not say ANY credentials.

No offense to people...but you need to start looking at your sources. Anyone can say anything and it will get published in some "help yourself" type magazine or website. But...you need to find a registered dietician that has degrees to tell you legit info.

I warm up the water just a little past room temperature, as if i'm about to make tea, and I squeeze half of a lemon into a full glass of water, then I eat oatmeal or fresh fruit for breakfast. It definitely gets your bowels moving lol but I feel more refreshed!! It's definitely worth a try if you can get past the sour taste!! And I just drink the glass before I eat breakfast in the morning, and you can also do a glass before bed but I haven't started that yet, if at all!



Here is a link explaining it all!! http://www.outofstress.com/lemon-water-lose-weight/

i'm so doing this!! at night and in the morning! lol

In India only lime is mostly available, and if this cleansing started in the east then it is fresh lime. Use 1/2 lime , one tsp honey in 1 cup of warm water.
