Forget Hot Water With Lemon! Three Drinks That Do Wonders For Weight Loss

You have probably heard about the magical weight loss properties of lemon water, but although many celebrities praise it, we don’t have enough evidence which can support their claims. And not only that – warm lemon water can have serious consequences if you consume it often!

Drinking lemon water more often can damage the enamel on your teeth, and without rinsing the mouth with water afterwards, acid can stick on your teeth and do further damage. The daily recommended amount of lemon water is a cup to two, and although it might help you lose weight, the following drinks are healthier and safer and can also help you lose weight.

Coffee

Coffee provides our body with energy and 2-3 cups a day can supposedly help us exercise longer and harder, effectively burning more calories. According to a study published in the “Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Health”, 2-3 cups a day can help you make up to 20% more repetition during workouts. However, before drowning yourself in the drink, make sure you drink it without sugar and milk, as this is the only way you can benefit from it.

Cold water

Instead of drinking lemon water in the morning, try drinking a tall glass of cold water, which will force the body to spend more energy, thus balancing your weight. 3 glasses of cold water throughout the day will help you burn an extra 100 calories, and doing this every day can help you lose up to 4.5 kg. a year!

Green tea

Green tea can help you get rid of excess weight and has no calories. According to a study, people who drank 4 cups of green tea daily for 2 months lost 3 kg. more than people who drank only water for the same period. However, you should always drink fresh tea instead of the bottled option as they are full of sugar and have no antioxidants. Avoid green tea supplements as well, as they can damage your liver.
