Now, the weather is slowly warming up, it’s a good time to lose weight. With the improvement of living standards, there are more and more obese people, and there are countless methods for losing weight. However, the most commonly used methods are dieting or exercising. The effect of dieting in a short period of time is quite obvious, but it is not beneficial for the body. Long-term dieting may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, malnutrition, or even anorexia. Therefore, dieting for weight loss is not recommended.
If you want to lose weight, you can use some weight loss tips, such as using lemon water for weight loss. But some people may say, “I have drunk a lot of lemon water, but why am I not getting thinner?” Maybe you are doing these two things wrong. Take a look and see if you are making mistakes?
1. Avoid deliberate dieting but control calorie and fat intake
When choosing to drink lemon water for weight loss, do not deliberately diet, but control your calorie and fat intake. Deliberately dieting is not conducive to gastrointestinal health, and lemon’s acidity can also irritate the stomach. If you diet deliberately, it will further harm your gastrointestinal health.
2. Control food portions + exercise
When drinking lemon water for weight loss, you can eat normally, but you should control your food portions. Breakfast and lunch should be kept at 70% fullness, and dinner at 50% fullness. Then, combine with effective exercise. The citric acid in lemons can have a certain fat-burning effect, and when combined with effective exercise, fat burning will be more thorough.
We all know that lemons contain a lot of vitamin C and citric acid. When citric acid enters the body, it can accelerate the burning of body fat and enhance the feeling of fullness, reducing the intake of other calories. Regular consumption of lemon water also has whitening effects because the vitamin C and citric acid in lemons can reduce melanin deposition, so women often drink lemon water, achieving both weight loss and whitening effects.
First, wash the lemon clean, then put it in the refrigerator for about two hours to freeze. After 2 hours, take out the lemon, cut it with the peel into slices, put them in a dry, clean, sealable container, then pour in honey and cool boiled water until the lemon slices are submerged. Seal it well, refrigerate it, and it will be ready to drink after three days. For those with poor gastrointestinal health, you can put the lemon slices in a container, soak them only in honey, soak for three days, then take out 1-2 slices and put them in a cup, and steep in warm water.
