Overusing honey, not losing weight has increased reversally

Hoàng Lộc (Theo Medical News Today) |

Honey can help with weight loss if used properly, but overusing it can be counterproductive to dietary plans.

Many people believe that drinking honey mixed with warm water in the morning will help reduce belly fat, purify the body and control weight. However, according to Medical News Today, if used incorrectly, this habit can lead to fat accumulation, instead of fat burning.

A common mistake is drinking too much honey during the day or completely replacing it with breakfast. Despite containing natural sugar, honey is still high in energy (about 60 calories per teaspoon). If you use it 2-3 times a day, you can take in the same amount of sugar as a can of soft drink.

Some people mix honey with hot water over 70 degrees Celsius or combine it with vinegar and lemon according to a recipe spread online. This method can reduce the beneficial active ingredients in honey, even causing stomach irritation if taken on an empty stomach.

In addition, many people consider honey as a "pharmotherapy" for weight loss and ignore the principle of portion balance. Honey is only effective when combined with a healthy diet rich in fiber and regular exercise.

Experts recommend only using 1 tablespoon of honey mixed with warm water in the morning after a snack. People with diabetes and overweight for a long time should consult a doctor before applying.
