DOES HONEY AND LEMON HELP IN FAT LOSS? It is not exactly correct to say that “Lime Juice with Honey” on its own makes you lose weight. It is also a misconception, to say that it helps in burning, melting or mobilizing fat. Then why do most diet plans start with a drink of honey and lemon. Honey is an excellent natural remedy or adjunct to a weight loss regime and lowering of blood cholesterol levels. It helps in purifying the blood and acts as a natural antioxidant as a result helping the body perform its metabolic functions at an optimal level. Honey is also a better option of a sweetening agent/ sugar. As compared to sugar it provides many vitamins and minerals and is an energy booster which keeps us active throughout the day by enhancing our work performance. Also by substituting table sugar with honey is a healthier option which in turn helps us take in lesser amount of empty calories and thereby supporting weight loss. Lime juice is a very rich source of vitamin C, potassium and vitamin B1 which helps in boosting the immunity and is an excellent antioxidant. Having honey and lemon-juice early morning on an empty stomach is highly beneficial as a detoxifier for the body. For this, mix one teaspoon of honey with the juice of two teaspoons of lime or lemon juice in a glass of room temperature or lukewarm water. The honey and lemon concoction can also be taken after a heavy and fat rich meal, as this tonic is an effective digestive too. The honey lemon drink can be really refreshing and cooling for the summers. But, in every successful weight loss programme remember that principles such as making the right choices, forming healthy eating habits and diets, and keeping to a regular exercise regime throughout are extremely important for a healthy weight loss. So, jump start your day with a healthy drink of lime juice with warm water and honey in it and see how you move through your day totally energized.
