If you want to lose weight but haven’t found any success, this remedy is for you — honey, lemon and cinnamon mix.
How it works:
Honey, lemon and warm water are known to help improve digestion, cleanse your body of toxins and aid in weight loss. This is largely due to the pectin present in lemons that help you feel full for longer and keep cravings at bay. Apart from that, the lemon, honey and water mixture creates an alkaline[1] atmosphere in your stomach, which aids in the better breakdown of fat.

Cinnamon, on the other hand, improves digestion and helps regulate the production of insulin and the breakdown of carbohydrates. It also improves the assimilation of nutrients from the food you eat which helps feel full and reduces your hunger pangs, thus helping you lose weight.
How to use it
What you’ll need
- One teaspoon of cinnamon powder — freshly ground
- Juice of half a lemon
- One tablespoon of honey
- One glass of warm water
Method
Take one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and put it in a glass. Now add the lemon juice and honey. Mix this well to make a paste. Add the warm water and mix well.
When and how much
Make sure you have this mixture once a day (preferably in the morning) on an empty stomach.
