Are female stars crazy about drinking lemon water to lose weight? Burn fat with vitamin C

Lemon water weight loss is quite popular among female stars in the entertainment industry, including American singer Beyonce, Korean actress Song Hye Kyo, Chinese actress Zhao Wei, etc., who are all fans. Lemon water can be used by adding maple syrup and chili to drink, or by drinking 2000cc of lemon water a day as water without dieting to eliminate excess fat from the body. However, nutritionists say that burning fat with lemon water alone has no medical basis, and drinking it the wrong way can cause stomach pain and tooth enamel erosion.

Lemon water does not have a fat-burning effect, but it is a natural beverage that can replace sugary drinks and reduce calorie intake.

Lemon water can whiten your skin and help you lose weight, but there is no evidence to support this

Nutritionist Yang Wenqing pointed out that in addition to sugar, the main ingredients of lemon are calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin C. It is rich in vitamins. Slicing lemons or squeezing lemon juice and soaking them in water to drink can prevent or lighten skin pigmentation and have a whitening and moisturizing effect. However, it is impossible to scrape oil and burn fat to achieve weight loss effects.

The key to successful weight loss is to spend less than you earn

To lose weight successfully, you must spend less than you earn, which means that the calories you consume should be lower than the calories you burn. But so far, no research has shown that drinking lemon water alone can metabolize calories or burn excess fat. Nutritionist Yang Wenqing said that it is impossible to lose weight if you drink lemon water with your normal three meals a day. The more accurate inference that users feel there is a weight loss effect is that lemon water replaces extra fattening food. It is also possible that they drink a lot of water unknowingly, which increases their sense of fullness and causes them to eat less, which naturally reduces their calorie intake, and of course they lose weight!

Taking vitamin C before exercise can help burn fat

The nutritionist further stated that when it comes to burning fat, vitamin C is essential to help burn excess fat. According to research, the amount of vitamin C in the blood is directly related to the body's energy for burning fat. The amount of vitamin C can affect the rate at which fat is oxidized and burned. People with higher vitamin C concentrations in their bodies consume 30% more calories during activities and burn fat faster than those with lower vitamin C concentrations.

Supplementing vitamin C before exercise can increase the amount of fat consumed during exercise.

Guava, cherry, kiwi are good fruits for weight loss

Lemons are not the highest in vitamin C among fruits, so drinking lemon water before exercise is unlikely to boost fat burning. Instead, you can eat guava, cherries, and kiwis before exercise. The vitamin C content of these fruits is much higher than that of lemons, and they can be used as an auxiliary method for body shaping during exercise. Although lemon water has limited or almost ineffective weight loss effect, it is still a healthy natural drink after all. Replacing the sugary drinks you drink every day with it to reduce calorie intake is also a good way to lose weight.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

When drinking lemon water, be careful to avoid drinking it directly and use a straw instead, because if the lemon juice is too sour it will corrode the tooth paint. If people with weak stomachs really want to drink lemon water, they can choose to drink it one hour after a meal. Women who want to use lemon water to achieve whitening effects can choose to drink it at night. Because lemon is photosensitive, drinking it at night can fully exert the whitening effect. However, it is easy to cause diarrhea. Especially women with gastric ulcers should not drink it at night to avoid increasing the chance of abdominal pain.
