Diet TIP of the DAY!

I know some of you are trying to lose weight to start the new year. One easy thing you can do is add a squeeze of lemon or lime to your water. This will help you burn 30% more calories.

Here's more:

Do you want an easy way to burn more calories and lose weight fast? How about squeezing a quarter to a half of lemon in your water (preferrably distilled if you can do it).
I didn’t realize it until recently, but putting lemon in your water has many benefits and it tastes great too !
One of the main benefits is improved digestion due to the active enzyme like action it does inside your body. With today’s food quality being so poor (processed, high in sugar) many of the foods lack proper enzymes meaning they may stay in your body longer which can cause a whole host of other problems, and can lead to major diseases (cancer included).
Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms like indigestion, heartburn, bloating and belching are cured. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhea.
If you’ve got any of the above symptoms why wouldn’t you use a “natural” substance like a lemon to cure them? No pharmaceuticals needed here !!
The best, most efficient time to dream you lemon water is 30 minutes BEFORE each meal. Try not to drink during your meal, as this conflicts with your enzymes and makes your digestion less efficient. Hint! If you want to burn and utilize what you eat, you’ll not drink during your meal. It’s a small habit to break… and I know you can do it!
