I have to agree with the above comment, drinking lemon water alone will not help,while lemon water as benifits, you need a balanced diet and exercise program to lose weight,

I found this article
Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C. It also contains vitamins like vitamin B, riboflavin and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium as well as proteins and carbohydrates. Lemon is generally consumed in the form of lemon juice or lemon water. Lemon water makes a healthy drink, especially when taken in the morning. Daily consumption of lemon water provides a number of health benefits like:

The intake of lemon juice can cure constipation. It is even known to help relieve hiccups when consumed as a juice.

Hi there!

I have heard that before. I have also heard that citruses are good for "burning fat".
I don't know if there is any truth in these claims, I am no expert, but just drinking lemon water won't do you much good. To lose weight you must go on a proper diet and exercise. By a proper diet I mean a complete diet with all the nutrients your body needs, but without the bad stuff your body doesn't need, and most importantly a diet that gives you less calories than the ones your body burns during a day.

That is why I included an orange in my diet (after lunch), or orange juice at breakfast. Also when I feel like eating fruit, I tend to pick orange over things like apple or banana.

Maybe someone will help you better, I really am no expert and this is just my opinion. Soon someone who knows much more than me can help you further...
