A Sour Way To Lose Weight?

Answer 1

Who would think that lemon water would aid in weight loss? There has been research done that suggests lemons and their acidity helps people lose weight, and if it is in water, the benefits are greater. Most people should drink between six and eight glasses of water a day, so if there is something that can be added to the water to speed the weight loss process, then why not do it?

Not everyone should try the lemon water diet. It is for people who have been exercising and can quickly eliminate water from their system. The lemon water diet is known as a cleansing diet. The colon is cleansed after the lemon water is consumed. Two tablespoons of lemon juice, two tablespoons of maple syrup, and one tenth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper are added to ten ounces of water in a glass. Everything is mixed together and is consumed. Each glass of the lemon water mixture is to be drunk as one meal for seven days. Results can be seen in as little as a couple days after beginning the diet, with maximum weight loss seen after two weeks. If the diet is followed along with exercise and a healthy diet, people can see up to twenty pounds or more of weight loss. For maximum benefits and to cleanse the digestive system, 60 ounces of water needs to be consumed every day. That is equal to six 10 ounce glasses of lemon water.

Because of the effects of the water, some people will wait until they are not leaving their home before starting the diet. The maple syrup in the water aids in positive sugars being introduced into the body. Iron is also found in maple syrup. Not only is the weight loss a positive effect of the lemon water, but there are essential vitamins introduced to the body. Cayenne pepper increases the metabolism, which increases weight loss as well. Some people who begin the lemon water diet will experience hunger pains and irritability as they are not eating as much as they were prior to beginning the diet.
