How to Lose Weight With Lemon Water

The citric acid in lemons encourages healthy digestion and stimulates stomach juices. Water flushes the body of toxins. Put the two together and you have what Theresa Cheung, author of "The Lemon Juice Diet," calls "...a natural powerhouse with an energizing, tangy flavor." The boost to your body's digestive and detox systems can actually stimulate and speed your weight loss effort. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass of warm water and drink it when you wake up in the morning. Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning activates the digestive system.

2

Sip on lemon juice throughout the day by adding it to water and other beverages such as green tea. This will increase the detoxification process. Add raw honey to your lemon water if you prefer a sweeter taste.

3

Add lemon peel to your water by grating it or finely chopping it in a coffee grinder. Lemon peel contains pectin and is high in fiber. The pectin will reduce cravings and make you feel full.
