Have been told that to aid weight loss it is advisable to have a fresh lemon juice mixed in a cup of warm water and take it in the morning well before breakfast.
Has anyone tried this and if so does it work?

Ive not tried that my-self, but have heard that eating red peppers and celery help to lose weight as they speed up your metabolism.
Suppose you could make a salad with low fat yoghurt (mixed with lemon). If you could eat that in the mornings.I know my spelling is shocking :eek: It is alot better than it used to be though :rotfl:0 -
probably just makes you feel full, and quickly absorbed..?Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..

lemon in warm water (can be from a bottle of lemon juice) is meant to get rid of the mucus in your system(:shocked: ) or so Gillian McKeith used to say. Don't have the water too cold or hot, just a bit warm, for it to work best.
It worked for me when I did it, but I also think it was the healthy food (porridge, no processed, lots of veggies) I had ater in the day that made me feel healthier and lose weight.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19

There was a fad diet in the 70's, "start the day with PLJ" (pure lemon juice)
But I think that since then the benefits of a glass of warm water with a squeeze of lemon have been proved. I dont know about weightloss but but it is supposed to do you good in terms of skin, digestion etc0 -
I'm not sure but it can't do any harm so I guess it's worth a try0

is it not meant to kickstart bile flow which I think ( and correct me if I'm wrong!) helps to break down fat in the liver or body or something like that?0

I've heard that it's very bad for your teeth if it's too concentrated - so make sure it's more water than lemon juice.0
