It’s a rumor that circulates both on social networks and in slimming “tips”, that of drinking lemon juice in lukewarm water to drink in the morning on an empty stomach. But is it really effective for weight loss? On the social network Instagram, Pauline Budynski, dietician-nutritionist, returned to this method “supposedly miraculous”.
The specialist is used to sharing tips on social networks, where she is known under the pseudonym @paulinebudynski_dieteticienne, to help eat better and learn about what we put on our plate. In particular, she shared a recipe for a delicious and satisfying sweet banana-chocolate omelette. This time, she is tackling a myth, that of lemon juice for weight loss.
Lemon juice in the morning does not help you lose weight, says this dietitian
Above all, Pauline Budynski recalls in her video the so-called miraculous method, namely: “A lemon juice in lukewarm water on an empty stomach apparently, it’s the best thing to do if you want to lose weight and break down your fat cells”. In her publication, the dietician decides: “know that this is simply not true”.
“So yes, drinking lemon juice in the morning can have benefits such as small contribution of vitamin C which is not negligible”, she specifies. As the specialist recalls, “weight loss is not magicthere is no food that allows you to lose weight miraculously”.
But then, what are the recommendations for healthy weight loss? “It is a balance between good Alimentation adapted to you, to your needs, to your pleasures, a physical activity regular, as science says to lose weight, you have to be in a calorie deficit,” insists Pauline Budynski before warning about the “quick fixes” and myths that we can hear on the subject.
