Its a very common belief that to lose weight, you should drink hot water and lemon first thing in the morning. Maybe put a pinch of honey it. There are plenty of people who swear by it and practice it too. Have you ever wondered why this would work? Read below to find out..

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- check out our article on it (Metabolic Levelis 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 and honey couldn't hurt, since they add vitamins, minerals, and flavour.

So, assuming that your diet, exercise and activity level is the same, and you start drinking 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 weight in the short term. But once your body gets used to it, the weight loss will stop.

So, the lemon water is good for you, but you'll probably need to some exercise and watch your diet to really lose those extra kilos! Try running, working out, Bikram yoga. Focus on losing fat than weight- read here.  Have questions about weight loss, healthy recipes, obesity, diabetes, etc.. go to our discussion forums- here.
