Yes it is true.What you heard will really work out.But for that you need to control your diet.It is better you go for walking for one hour and then take lemon water with some honey. Ruhi replied. Hi Shals,
Having warm water with lemon and honey is good for health and many people will take this to burn their calories.And it really works also.Any one can try it and it must be taken with empty stomach only. Sangeta replied. Hi Shals,

Then did you try that one and did it got worked or not can you say about that because many people will also be ready to do or follow that one can you say what you have done about that because we will also come to know about that. Fareed replied. Hello Shals,
So you want to loose the weight and then did you try to do that and what was the result.But you should check the health status also then only you will get some good result if you try also.I hope you will get my point of view also. Kaira replied. Hello Shals,
Through warm water and lemon and honey you can loose the weight and there were many other ways also to do that but you need to follow them carefully and then you must be guided by some one other wise you will have problem. priyanka replied. is there any other way to loose weight except for diet..please reply twinkle replied. i dont like honey is there any substitute for honey?? naveen replied. The key ingredient here is the water- Recent research shows that
drinking 400 ml of water as soon as you wake up in the morning, raises
your metabolic level significantly. Water has significant health benefits-
see the health benefits of water (Metabolic Level is the rate at which
your body burns calories to maintain itself) Through the night, your
body is deprived of water, and since most of your body processes use
water as a medium, your body’s machinery slows down through the
night. When you drink water in the morning, it helps to rev the
machinery back into gear, so it kicks up the metabolic rate. The lemon has
Vitamin C, and honey has its health benefits , since they add vitamins,
minerals, and flavour.
So, assuming that your diet , exercise and activity level is the same, and
you start drinking lemon water as soon as you wake up, it will increase
your metabolic level. With an increase in your metabolic level, your body
will burn more calories for the same activity. Same number of calories
going on, more calories going out (from your raised metabolic rate). So
you will lose some weight from drinking lemon water in the short term.
But once your body gets used to lemon and hot water, the weight loss
will really slow down or stop.
So, drinking hot water and lemon is good for health. But, can you lose 5
lbs of weight, from drinking hot water, lemon and honey in the morning?
No. Will drinking hot water and lemon reduce any fat? No. neha12 replied. Hi,

I suggest you take more water in morning as much possible and Take a glass of hot water and add one spoon honey. Have it every day, weight will be reduced. i think its will be useful for you..

Thanks

laahirie replied. can we take honey and lemon after exercise or should i take it early in the morning??if i take it after exercise can i see the benefits of it?? rajesh replied. I definitely agree with the folks who said drinking Honey with warm water will help you in reducing weight.Thats absolutely right. Also, to share with drinking Green tea along with honey in warm/Hot water early morning is also a good solution which will help you in reducing your weight.Green tea is a hunger suppressant which will suppress your intake of food which is also harmless. You have to drink at least 5 to 6 cups of Green tea in hot water either mixing honey or Sugarfree daily.The way I used to have this is, morning I will have a cup of green tea with Honey in hot water and then 3 to 4 cups before my lunch with a sugarfree tablet. As of now I have reduced 1.5 kg since a week. meenu replied. Increase the protein intake in your diet...low calorie milk,eggs,green veggies,oats,wheat bran,drink at least 8 glasses of luke warm water.Do suryanamaskar(6 times or more),kapalbhati,anulom-vilom & stretching exercises,it will definetly lose your weight..... lalitha replied. Hi I don' t know about diets, but try to drink more water. eight 8oz glasses is recommended for a day and try to do that first. You will see the difference in a week. Initially u feel like visiting restroom often but once ur body gets used to it you will be alright. Try atleast drinking 2 glasses fo water in empty stomach.Eat heavy breakfast and lunch but eat very light dinner, that helped me a lot.
enjoy

archie replied. Well heres the thing..
From wat i can make out from ur post.. Skipping meals or reducing cals so drastically is definitely NOT the way to lose weight.. If you keep up this diet, your body will go into the starvation mode which means lesser calories get burned everyday. So this means u either put on more weight OR u will end up being exactly where u are. Not to mention this can lead to stuff like hair loss coz of less nutrition.
U need to eat lots more healthy stuff like veggies, milk (low fat if u like), fruits of course, bit more carbs (more for lunch and less for dinner since ur body needs more cals during the day) and the most important.. dont skip breakfast..
I dont know abt this lemon thing.. But cardio workout (like intensive aerobics) works wonders..(atleast in my case it has).. so i wud say stick to a healthy diet without starving urself and work out to increase ur metabolism.. In the long run starvation makes u put on weight but increasing ur metabolism makes u fit and helps u stay that way..
If u dont want to work out.. i would suggest GM diet which is considered healthy.. I havent tried it but its apparently good.. and gives fast results!
well that was a long post.. hope it helps :)
