    Ive started doing this in the morning too but with half a lemon. You can drink from a straw to protect your teeth more I guess? But I always have something else to drink afterwards.

    The acid in lemon allows your body to absorb water better, it also creates an environment in the gut that is good flora friendly as bad flora don't like an acidic stomach. Your body will function better when properly hydrated, so yes it will have an effect on your metabolism. Adding ginger root to it will also help as it is an anti-fungal which will again reduce the amount of bad bacteria which in turn, will allow you to better absorb the nutrients from your food and reduce bloating.

    I don't know if it actually does but ages ago I did this every day without fail 3 times a day (replacing 2 coffees) and yes I did in fact loose weight. There was nothing extra or special that I did, that was it ....... I should do this again
