Lemon and Coffee for Weight Loss

Can a lemon coffee help you lose weight? Is this Lemon and Coffee for Weight Loss Viral TikTok challenge legit?

Is it really the magic potion that melts pounds away?

Adding lemon juice to a cup of coffee is all the rage online from a popular TikTok viral challage.

But the real question is, does it actually work? East on The TikTok challenge all you need to do is sit on the mixture and watch your unwanted pounds Melt Away.

 The lemon coffee for weight loss concept is generating quite the buzz around all social media platforms. 

Videos of dieting remedies have tens of millions of views and counting on Social Media. 

I think it’s safe to say that we are always looking for ways to shed unwanted pounds. 

So, is adding lemon to copy a secret just loving down? I did a little fact-checking to find out. 

What is Lemon Coffee? 

The most commonly used mixture in the TikTok challenge was just to squeeze one lemon into a standard cup of black coffee. Safe to say that lemon coffee is not the most flavorful probably why we have never seen it added to the menus at our local cafes.

Also important to note you should never add lemon to Lattes or any other drinks with milk in them as it will curdle (gag).

Lemon and Coffee Weight Loss Drink: Is it Fact or Crap?

The quick answer is that the lemon & coffee for weight loss drink is total crap. There are no findings of adding lemon to coffee has any effect on weight loss. 

You will want to keep reading till the end if natural, healthy, weight loss that will stay off for good is what led you to this post.

I will share with you how I lost over 50 pounds when nothing, and I do mean NOTHING was working to get the post-baby weight off. It was not until I understood the root of the problem that I was able to fix it for good!

There is however what is called the Placebo Effect. There is a great book, that is still one of my all-time favorite books, by Dr. Joe Dispenza called “You are the Placebo”. 

In short, the Placebo Effect is when we believe something so much we make it real. This term was coined in World War 1 when a nurse ran out of morphine and decided to inject saline (salt water) into patients and told them it was morphine and they would not feel any pain.

This was a complete hail mary because the nurse did not think it would work but hoped the men would feel better knowing they did receive some pain killer.

To her shock around 90% of the men acted as if they had been injected with morphine and said they felt no pain at all.

The placebo effect has since been studied in testing new prescription medications and treatments and has even been taken as far as doing fake knee surgery.

The placebo patient in the “fake” knee surgery went through the same process he would have if he was truly having the knee surgery performed. However, the doctor simply cut the knee (as he would if he was performing the surgy) then stitched him up and told the patient everything went perfectly and he would feel much better in a couple of days.

The man believing that he had a real knee surgery went through the 1-week rehab and reported back to the doctor in his follow-up appointment that he feels better than ever.

All his knee pain was gone.

This kind of story is tip of the ice berg as far as the miracles you will read in “You are the Placebo” by Dr. Dispenza.

My favorite mind-bending story in Dr. Dispenza’s book was about a man who had terminal cancer and was within weeks of dying. The man’s doctor knew of a medical study being done that was to treat this type of cancer and asked the doctors of the study if his patient could join.

The man was too close to death to get to formally enter the group trial but they let the man unofficially join.

The thing about double-blind clinical studies like this one is even the doctors performing and monitoring the studies cannot know which patients are receiving the real medication and who is receiving the placebo (sugar pills).

Only the pharmacy knows this information until the test trial is completed to ensure the doctors do not inadvertently mess with the results.

Long story short the man received the sugar pills. But he deeply believed that he was going to be healed because his doctor told him this medication was having amazing results in healing other patients and that within a few short weeks of taking the placebo (sugar pill) his cancer was 100% gone!

Weeks from dying and this man was completely healed!

By sugar pills?

No. Of course not.

He was healed because he believed that the pills he was taking would heal him. This is VERY common in medical studies somewhere along the lines of 50% or greater of placebo patients reporting the same or better results as those taking the actual real medications.

Quick Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. I am an everyday person just like you, who was frustrated and did not want to be on medication my whole life without ever actually fixing the problem. I call my posts I share how I used food as medicine, clean nontoxic living, and modern scientific tools and research to heal my autoimmune system and be free of all medication in hopes that you can find your own healing journey too.

Weight-Loss Drinks That Actually Do Work!

Ok now that we have debunked the whole lemon and coffee weight loss myth let’s talk about some weight loss drinks that do actually work. You did not think I would leave you hanging, did you?!?!

 Best Green Tea for Weight Loss Drink

Green Tea alone has many health benefits. The one we love is linked above.

Simply drinking a good quality organic green tea every day will help to boost and stimulate your metabolism and leave you satiated (feeling full)….. but you will not start seeing the pounds “melt away” by drinking green tea on its own.

The All Day Slimming Tea is a powerful tea for supporting healthy weight loss & detox, digestion, and better sleep.

Instead of a typical weight loss supplement that is full of dangerous ingredients and chemicals… All Day Slimming Tea contains Green Tea, Oolong Tea, Orange peel, Lemongrass, Ginger, Dandelion leaf, Ginseng Root, Garcinia Cambogia, Monk Fruit, and Natural Mint.

The Morning Tea is a morning drink for weight loss that will increase your metabolism and energy level, reduce your cravings and appetite, and even reduce fat production and fat storage in your body so you can lose weight naturally.

They also offer a night drink for weight loss called the All Day Slimming Tea Evening Detox Tea. The evening detox tea is made from Senna leaves, Licorice Root, Peppermint Leaves, Fennel fruit, Orange peel, Cinnamon bark, Dandelion Leaves, Lemongrass, Ginger, Monk Fruit for sweetness without the calories, and Natural Honey.

The tea is delicious and 100% natural, based on the traditional tea recipe that has made Nicoya peninsula in Costa Rica one of the healthiest places in the world, where people’s lifespan is almost 90!!

How to Lose Weight in 30 days

Ok friend here is where it gets juicy and I share my secret to losing over 50 pounds and keeping it off for good so listen up. I tried to lose weight for almost 2 years after having my youngest son before I figured out what the root of the weight problem was.

Odds are pretty good if you have read this far then you are serious about losing weight!

There is a good chance this is not your first go at losing weight, and you have most likely tried many things that either did not work, or the weight all came right back on plus some extra. (I see you nodding your head, I have been there too friend).

Here is the truth. Most people who struggle to lose weight have one big thing in common…. hormonal imbalance.

In the US alone 6 out of 10 women have a hormonal imbalance and around 3 out of 10 men in the US have hormonal imbalance.

What gives?

There is a link to many foods and hormonal imbalances. Which then leads to hormonal weight gain.

Without resetting our hormones to their natural balance we can pretty much kiss the hopes of weight loss goodbye. It feels near impossible with hormonal imbalances to be able to lose weight.

There are many foods in the SAD Diet, the Standard American Diet and no I did not make this stuff up (seriously).

The acronym for the way Americans eat is actually SAD.

Due to poor farming practices, the introduction of Frankin’ Foods which are chemically engineered foods cooked up in a lab to be hyper-palletable (taste good and be addicting), and the fast food/eating out/ convenience “food” movement we have the most obesity in the country than any other country in the world.

And sadly we are leading that race by a LOT!

Now, if certain foods are causing your hormones to be out of wack the only way to course correct them is to remove them.

The quickest and easiest way that was the first thing that worked for my body was Keto.

Thankfully for you now Keto has gained a lot of popularity and you can find some great recipes, premade foods, and so forth that were not around 7 years ago when I started Keto.

But allow me to help you avoid the first and second big pitfalls most people hit when starting keto.

1. They quit too soon
2. They are not doing Keto right

The Custome Keto Meal Plan is like the big red easy button, my friends. They start you with a quiz to see what foods you like and what your weight loss goals are, then they formulate weekly meal plans (with shopping lists) for you!!

OMG, this would have saved me SO MUCH TIME when I started Keto.

Starting anything new can be challenging. I had to do so much research to figure out what “keto” even looked like. So many times I would find something I thought was Keto that was not and have to take it out weeks into the process.

Tools like the Custome Keto Meal Planner eliminate having to figure it all out and having to meal plan all in one click of a button.

How Long Do You Stay Keto?

There is no one size fits all answer here. You should listen to your body. But I will say that 90-days is a great starting point for everyone. It takes at least 90-days to get the body into Ketosis (burning ketones vs insulin which causes fat storage).

After 90-days if you have hit your weight loss goals, which also most likely means that you have also succeeded in resetting your hormones to a happy healthy hormonal balance then maybe that is good for you.

At that point in my healing journey, I transitioned to eating Clean Keto (dairy-free & little processed foods) for breakfast and lunch and more of a Paleo-style dinner (higher clean carbs in the evening).

Eating clean carbs in the evening is a hack to also help you get better sleep.

Sleep plays a massive role in keeping a healthy hormonal balance as well as being able to maintain a healthy weight. If you struggle with sleep, be sure to search “sleep” in the search bar at the top of the blog to get more in-depth easy hacks to improve your sleep scores.

Hormonal Harmony For Weight loss

Ok so now we have our morning drink for weight loss & night drink for weight loss, you have a plan to eliminate foods that are the root cause of the problem, and lastly supplements. As I said above our farming practices in the US are broken. This has led to needing vitamins and supplements now more than ever.

I have a list of 11 of my top supplements that will help balance your hormones, but let’s start with a hormone-balancing multivitamin if you will.

Just starting 11 vitamins is a bit much. Plus the time it takes in separating morning vitamins from evening vitamins. Knowing which to take with food and which to take on an empty stomach.

It can be overwhelming and expensive.

So, for now, let me offer you a Happy Hormone Multivitamin option.

The amazing thing about this supplement is when you balance your hormones you give your body a chance to break down food, and send the “I am full” signal to your brain, essentially fixing your hormonal balance fixes your weight too!

If you click the link above you will see story after story of weight loss success and this is NOT a diet pill.

It is a 100% Natural supplement.

PS please do not use those nasty diet pills, even the ones your doctor might offer you as mine did me. They are FULL of the worst ingredients, often mess up our hormones even worse, and the moment you stop taking them the weight (plus some) will come right back on.

This painful cycle of weight loss most finds themselves stuck in is a direct result of what I call going from the fruit, not the root.

Think of it like trying to fix the outside problem without identifying the internal cause is like picking an orange off the tree and expecting the tree to die….. not going to work.

This is why in my wellness lifestyle coaching program I help friends reset their perspectives for a new normal.

If you go back to the old lifestyle your body will go back too as a result.

Conclusion

Weight loss can be so difficult and when don’t improperly or by trying to take shortcuts 9.999 times out of 10 the weight will boomerang right back on, and most likely bring some friends too. If you are serious about losing weight then ditch the yoyo dieting drama and give these 3 simple steps a go for the next 90-days.

Please come back and leave me a comment with your results. Also, find me on social @goingbacktoourroots, and let’s be friends there too.

I know this approach works if you stick to it because I went from 2 years of trying so many different approaches (some for more than 6 months) and NOTHING worked!!

When I started focusing on healing my hormones (the root of the problem) within 90 days I had lost over 40 pounds. The last 10+ pounds fell off as I went and began to incorporate some 10-minute home workouts.

Search “weight loss exercises at home” in the search bar for an in-depth post on the EASY quick 10-minute at-home workouts I do for weight loss using little to no equipment.

XOXO,
