How to make coconut lemon water properly to lose weight:
Not every lemon mixed with coconut water is effective. Here is a standard formula recommended by a nutritionist from the Mayo Clinic:
Ingredients:
200ml fresh coconut water (no sugar)
1⁄2 fresh lemon squeezed for water
You can add a few slices of fresh ginger or mint leaves to increase antioxidant effectiveness
How to use:
Drink in the early morning, after waking up 15-20 minutes
Or drink before lunch, don't drink when you're too hungry to avoid stomach irritation
Note, do not add sugar or honey if your goal is to lose weight. People with stomach problems need to be careful when drinking on an empty stomach.
Although coconut lemon water has many benefits, it cannot replace a scientific diet or exercise regimen. According to the WHO, losing 0.5-1 kg per week is a safe weight loss.
Coconut lemon water can partly support by reducing hunger, increasing hydration and supporting metabolism.
