Reply: Honey and lemon is an old well-known weight loss tip. Lemon juice when squeezed into a nice amount of water can assist in weight loss by creating a more alkaline environment in the body.

Question: Please tell me how much quantity of lemon and honey to take to lose weight?

Reply: You can find the following weight loss tip in: Honey and Lemon "mix one teaspoon of fresh honey with the juice of half a lime/lemon in a glass of lukewarm water first thing in the morning. It is very beneficial on an empty stomach. Take several times a day at regular intervals." Anything in the excess harms your body. If anyone really wants to go for this treatment, keep it up for at least a couple of months. However, please note that drinking water with lemon (or any particular food) alone (and nothing else) will not cause one to lose weight. It will help, but it is part of a bigger picture including our entire diet and exercise. A holistic approach involving diet and exercise is always necessary for healthy weight loss.

Question: I am on a diet. How many calories are there in honey?

Reply: One tablespoon of honey has 64 calories (whereas and one tablespoon of sugar has 46 calories.) However, because honey is sweeter, we only use half the amount, i.e. if 2 tablespoons of sugar are required, you only need 1 tablespoon of honey to make it as sweet.

Question: How much honey can you take per day, in order not to gain weight?

Reply: An average size adult when doing a full fasting could take up to 150cc or 200 cc honey mixed with water or tea every day. This could be an interesting article for you to read: Honey Fast

It's difficult to prescribe how much honey one should limit to because the type of diet varies from person to person, that is, one could be taking foods with very low sugar content every day, while another having a sweet tooth could be taking plentiful of high-sugar stuff. One excellent way to healthier eating is to use honey in your everyday food, e.g replace empty-calorie table sugar with nutritious honey in coffee, tea, juices, and use honey instead of jam on bread, etc.
