Green Tea Diet With Honey and Lemon

Hi, I drink brewed green tea with one spoon of honey with some lemon juice. I take it empty stomach in the morning to shred some weight. Is it correct to add honey and lemon and take it in the morning?

Answer:

Angelina, it is absolutely fine to drink green tea the way you do! In fact, I drink it first thing in the morning too - 3 to 6 cups (about 3 grams or 300 milligrams of catechins).

The only problem you have to be aware of drinking green tea empty stomach is that it may cause discomfort for some people. If you experience nausea or heartburn, then it is better to drink it between meals.

Taking green tea with honey and lemon juice is a great idea. In particular, the study belows that adding lemons actualy boost the antioxidant properties of green tea.

Green Tea With Lemon

Of course, if you are drinking a very high grade green tea, then it will make sense to drink it on its own as adding honey and lemons only will distract you from experiencing its rich, savoury taste.

I hope my answer helps. Please do consider signing to my newsletter as I will be publishing a series of articles on green tea diet plan soon.

Weight Loss

Honey contains significant calories so it could cause weight loss.

I think the key is to use a little.

But if you need to add something to your green tea to make it tastes better anyway, use honey rather than sugar for reasons stated below.

If you drink green tea without honey, that's even better for weight loss.

That's what I do. Drink quality. Green tea tastes better by itself.

Check out my top three recommendations.
