    if you google, every link says it helps!!
    ps: sorry if am being stubborn, just clearing a doubt i had!!:)

    The problem with Google, is it doesn't distinguish science from ideology.

    If you enjoy this concoction, drink away.. but don't expect it to replace the tried and true balanced diet, excersize, and calorie deficit.

    It won't hurt you, but there is absolutely no evidence that it is going to help you lose weight. A calorie deficit and regular exercise will accomplish that.

    This is a forum post in a random weight loss website. There is absolutely nothing fact-based (or should I say scientifically supported) in this link.

    You need to be very careful when you randomly pick a blog to follow for weight loss advice. There are plenty of them that are full of terrible information.

    In an effort to help you, I would very highly regard the following locations for information for you:
    www.body-improvements.com
    www.weightology.net
    www.alanaragon.com
    www.leangains.com
    www.bodyrecomposition.com

    The above websites have free resources and many of the articles are supported by peer-reviewed research.

    leangains is a great site.

    I drink the juice of one lemon and hot water w/o honey to cleanse the liver but not sure about the losing weight weight part. I read this in Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet Recharged.

    ^ Check the other ones if you haven't. All of those are incredible in my opinion. The amount of quality information on that list is ridiculous.

    Lemon water helps me (I don't add honey). Sadly, I workout on an empty stomach most mornings, because I take an AM medication and can't eat for 30-60 minutes.

    Only thing lemon and honey (and hot water) does is soothe a sore throat.

    Honey and lemon in warm water will tend to get your bowels moving, but I don't know what it would do for a workout....

    And methinks that's the only way it's going to aid weightloss. it certainly doesn't "melt away the fat" otherwise we'd all be drinking gallons of the stuff and looking as buff as Sidesteal :wink:

    Radhika,

    You look great. So obviously drinking warm water with honey helps. I will also start having the same now. Thanks for the tip.

    I take it every morning on an empty stomach. Heard it helps in weight loss and also good for health, as honey has good nutrients.

    I take a teaspoon of honey+ few drops of lemon and 8oz water.

    I haven't witnessed weight loss just with the liquid..but exercise and diet control.

    I don't understand why you wouldn't just have tea with lemon and honey. So much yummier. I'm sorry I have nothing to add to this but my love for tea.

    ok well if your doing cardio as your workout in the morning on an empty stomach then its ok, but if your doing weights and stuff as well for strength training you should be eating about an hour before you workout cause it gives your body fuel.
