Lemon is a great nutritious fruit, rich in vitamin C and known as a beauty food. However, as everyone knows, although lemons are alkaline, they taste very sour, which many people find intolerable if eaten directly. Therefore, many people make lemon water to drink. The substances contained in lemons, when properly mixed, can not only whiten skin but also effectively aid in weight loss. However, if you make the following mistakes while drinking lemon water, it may not only fail to help you lose weight but could also lead to weight gain. Today, I’ll guide you through these mistakes.
1. Adding White Sugar
It’s well known that lemons are very sour, and even when infused in water, their strong sour taste cannot be removed. Many people cannot bear this, so they tend to add a bit of white sugar to alleviate the sourness while making lemon water. However, although drinking lemon water does have weight loss effects, white sugar can easily cause weight gain. After adding sugar, you may lose the weight loss benefits, and drinking lemon water with sugar can even lead to weight gain!
2. Peeling
Many people think lemon peels are unclean and feel reassured only after peeling them, so they often prefer to peel or shave the skin before eating. However, the peels of many fruits are actually more nutritious, and discarding the peel means losing many beneficial nutrients. Therefore, you must not remove the peel when making lemon water; otherwise, the benefits will not be as good, and it may adversely affect weight loss.
3. Drinking on an Empty Stomach
Many nutritious foods cannot be consumed on an empty stomach, as doing so may harm the body. Lemons are also fruits that should not be eaten on an empty stomach. Drinking lemon water on an empty stomach can be very damaging to the stomach, especially since it is quite acidic and can be quite irritating. Thus, it is best to eat something first before drinking lemon water, generally after lunch. Otherwise, drinking on an empty stomach can easily harm the stomach and won’t help with weight loss.
Have you remembered the three mistakes about drinking lemon water, friends? If you want to use lemon water for weight loss, avoid making these mistakes! Otherwise, not only will you struggle to achieve weight loss benefits, but you might also gain weight and even harm your health. Everyone must be careful!
