1, can you lose weight only by drinking honey water?
Conclusion: Drinking honey water only every day can reduce weight, but it is not recommended to drink honey water only for a long time.
One of the reasons why eating honey can reduce weight is because the calories are low, only 75% of the same amount of white sugar. 100g honey contains 294 calories. Even if you eat 200g a day, the calories absorbed are only 600 calories. Moreover, most of the sugar contained in honey is fructose and glucose, which can be directly digested and decomposed by the body and will not become fat and gain weight.
In addition, fatty acids contained in honey can promote intestinal peristalsis, while rich vitamins and minerals have the function of regulating the stomach, expelling toxins from the body and improving constipation. According to the above two points, drinking honey water does have the effect of losing weight.
2. Why can't you just drink honey for a long time?
Drinking honey water to lose weight usually defaults to three days, because it is easy to be malnourished for too long, and there is no food in the stomach, and the digestive function will gradually deteriorate, which is too harmful to health. It is ideal to drink only honey water for three days, and you can do it yourself 1 time every month regularly, which can not only lose weight, but also regulate the stomach and help detoxify.
3, only drink honey water for three days and lose a few pounds.
You can lose 3-6 pounds after three days, and there will be a small rebound after you resume your diet.
You can lose 3-6 pounds by drinking honey water for three days at a time, and your weight will rebound after you resume your diet, but as long as you don't overeat, you won't completely return to your original weight. Usually, you will lose 2 pounds after a small rebound.
4. Three-day honey water diet
During the three-day weight loss with honey water, don't eat other foods except honey, but you can drink water. 100 ml of honey water and 15 g of honey.
Breakfast at 8:00: Drink 200ml of honey water on an empty stomach to promote defecation.
Morning 1 1:00: Drink 200ml of honey water to relieve hunger.
Afternoon 13:00: Take a nap for half an hour after drinking 200ml of honey water.
In the afternoon16: 00: 20-30 grams of pure honey can not only relieve hunger, but also improve the brain.
Evening 18:00: Drink 200ml of honey water, then stop drinking honey, and only drink water when you are thirsty.
Attention! Honey water should not be soaked in hot water, and it is best to use warm water of about 50 degrees. Besides 65% to 80% glucose and fructose, honey is also rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, which will be destroyed at high temperature.
5, who avoid drinking honey water to lose weight?
Honey water can be eaten by most people, but the following three types of people should not try to lose weight by drinking only honey water.
1, honey is a food with high sugar content, which is not suitable for diabetics or people with high blood sugar.
2. Honey contains estrogen. Children under 12 water should not drink more honey water.
3. Honey has the function of relaxing bowels. Diarrhea patients should not try honey water to lose weight.
6. Precautions for drinking honey water
1, drink honey water before going to bed, and be careful of getting fat and decaying teeth.
Drinking boiled water before going to bed at night can make the body metabolize for water storage overnight, but if you drink honey water, the water contains a lot of solutes, and the density increases, which can not achieve the effect of drinking water before going to bed, and will increase blood sugar rapidly. The sugar contained in honey water is also easily converted into fat and accumulated in the body, which makes you gain weight quietly!
It's even worse if you brush your teeth and drink honey water. A lot of bacteria will corrode your teeth in your mouth, so it's really not cost-effective to drink honey water before going to bed at night!
2. Taking honey as the first glass of water in the morning is not healthy.
Many people think that drinking a cup of light honey water on an empty stomach in the morning is not only relaxing the bowels, but also causing fire. But in fact, this practice is not desirable. Honey water contains corresponding sugar, not in the form of pure water. After drinking, fructose in honey must be converted into glucose through human metabolism before it can be absorbed and utilized by human body, thus losing the function of cleaning the internal environment of the body with the first glass of water in the morning.
Moreover, honey, as the first glass of water, can't effectively replenish the water of body cells, and the urination time is relatively slower than that of boiled water, which reduces the efficacy of detoxification in the body. At this time, the body did not remove the waste, but came to accept new substances. When the new substances were mixed with the waste residue, the metabolic absorption process of new and old hybrid substances in the body was presented, and the nutrients of honey could not be obtained well, and the re-metabolism of the residue was even worse for health.
3. Drinking honey at high temperature damages nutrition.
Honey contains not only 65% to 80% glucose and fructose, but also abundant enzymes, vitamins and minerals. When eating honey, you should drink it with warm water, and the water temperature should not exceed 60℃. If high-temperature boiling water rushes into honey, it will not only destroy its rich nutrients, but also cause its natural color, fragrance and taste to change.
Experiments show that when honey is heated to 67℃ for a little longer, the amylase in honey will decompose and the color will darken; Vitamin C in honey destroys 1/5 to 1/2.
4, excessive consumption leads to diabetes+dental caries.
It is appropriate for normal adults to eat about 20~25 grams of honey every day. Because glucose and fructose in honey are monosaccharides, they can be directly absorbed into the blood by the human body. If you eat a large amount of honey at a time, you can make your blood sugar rise rapidly. Excessive consumption of honey for a long time will lead to insufficient insulin secretion and easily lead to diabetes.
Secondly, honey has a high sugar content, and the production is fine, and the finished product is sticky, so it has great caries-causing power. Therefore, sticky honey is not good for teeth.
5, drinking honey water on an empty stomach, easy to cause gastric ulcer.
Honey belongs to sweets, and sweets can increase the secretion of gastric acid, which is harmful to gastric mucosa.
Drinking honey water on an empty stomach for a long time is easy to increase the acidity in the body. After a long time, you will have too much stomach acid and get gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Therefore, it is best not to drink honey water on an empty stomach. It is recommended to drink it after meals.
6. Drinking honey water immediately after a meal is not good for digestion.
Drinking honey water immediately after a meal will dilute the gastric juice, so that the food you eat will enter the small intestine before it can be fully digested, which is not conducive to food digestion. Moreover, food tends to swell when it meets water, which puts more pressure on the stomach.
Drinking honey water after a long meal will increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases.
7. The nutrition of honey water washed with metal cups is destroyed.
Honey is acidic. When storing or brewing, it is best not to use metal containers to avoid chemical reactions.
Because honey is a liquid with weak acidity, it is easy to oxidize when it comes into contact with metals and precipitate free metal elements such as iron, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., which makes the color of honey black and the nutritional components are destroyed.
If someone eats such honey, there will be symptoms of poisoning such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
