can lemon make you thinner?

Question

I LOVE to drink lemon.. and I don't mean lemon juice (lemonade) but drink right from the lemon.. and eat it too.. could this make me thinner? I'm on a diet..

Answer 1

Actually, yes it will. Lemons and limes are alkalizing in the body. You see, the human body has an pH level that's slightly alkaline (between 7.1-7.4). When the body gets on the acidic side (pH less than 7), one of the ways the body protects itself is to wrap the acids and toxins in fat. Lemons have an alkalizing affect and neutralizes the acids that form (which the standard American diet is very acidifiying). As the lemons neutralize the acids they are flushed out of the body and the fat that encased them are removed also.

Answer 2

Technically no. There's nothing special about lemon that would speed up weight loss but lemons are good for you (except sucking fresh lemons often WILL wear away the enamel on your teeth which comes with a host of possible problems), and they contain few calories and lots of fiber if you are eating the fruit, and not just drinking the juice.

That fiber may make help make you more full and reduce your temptation to eat things that won't help your effort.

Answer 3

Will lemon juice by itself cause you to lose weight? No. Even if that was all you ate, you'd be doing your body a disservice. It's about EVERYTHING you eat, not just certain items. Increase your vegetables and fruits, eat lean meats, drink loads of water, and if you like your lemon juice, fine, drink that too. Exercise. Stay away from sugar, fried foods, breads and pastas, as these things are all nutritionally barren. Watch your portions and your calories, and you'll be fine.

Answer 4

yes, and also clean you and your intestines.

The best is Master Cleanse or other people call it Lemon diet, if fact everyone is talking about it.

The diet is:

Recipe:
The below recipe make 60 oz of "lemonade", enough for 6 to 10 oz glasses. Although your requirements may be different than mine. Please read the book to determine your needs. 60 oz is sufficient for a reduction cleanse.

60 oz water per day (or 10 oz per glass)
12 tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
12 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
a little over half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or 1/10 tsp. per glass) or to taste

You can add a bit more of the Maple syrop or less (to loose weight quicker) but never forget the cayenne pepper, it is good for you.

Enjoy...

Answer 6

I don't think only drink lemon will make thinner

Answer 7

Sure, it'll thin you--if that's all you eat (drink). But of course your body has certain nutritional requirements, so you can't live on lemons.
The most important things to be mindful of (when dealing with weight loss) are: plenty of regular exercise and avoiding sugary and highly-processed foods. Eating simply--whole foods--is key: whole grains, greens and veggies, with some meat. Don't avoid fats altogether. People are mostly killing themselves with refined sugars. The human body was not created for heavy intake of sugars.
