About the recipe

Sharing the recent trending recipe using coffee and lemon but with a slight variation to help and support your weight loss goals and add it to healthy diets, but do not consume it with any underlying health conditions.

The recipe here uses coffee, lemon, cinnamon, and ginger, which is not similar to TikTok's viral video.

Some variations are made to the recipe to boost weight loss properties, but no evidence-based research exists that mixing coffee and lemon and drinking can work with weight loss.

Why this recipe?

This low-calorie drink uses lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger to help with better digestion.

The liquid juice from lemon and cinnamon is mixed with instant black coffee powder to add flavor and help consume the drink.

If used individually, lemon, ginger, and cinnamon have specific medicinal properties that aid digestion, boost metabolism, and result in fat loss.

Coffee is a low-calorie food that keeps you mentally alert and lifts the mood to continue your daily activities.

Staying active throughout the day and carrying on physical tasks can help burn calories, aiding in weight loss.

Adding or combining all the ingredients makes it easy to consume all these health-beneficial ingredients, but limiting its intake is a wise decision, as too much coffee can prove harmful and have drawbacks.

Does Coffee help in losing weight?

A teaspoon of coffee has 2 to 5 calories, making it a perfect stimulant to add to water and consume. However, adding ingredients to the coffee and water can increase the calories.

Drinking only black coffee with water is an effective way to stay alert and help continue daily activities.

Drinking coffee without sugar twice a day can help you stay physically active, as black coffee contains caffeine, which helps improve the metabolism rate, which results in burning calories and fat.

Caffeine in coffee keeps you active and helps you move during daily work, which helps burn calories and fat.

Adding sugars, high-calorie sweeteners, syrups, or creamers to the coffee drink can increase their calories from 2 to 500 depending on the sweeteners and sugars we add.

Therefore, plain black coffee without sugars is slightly effective in weight loss.

One may not see miraculous results, as losing weight with just a drink is impossible, and many other factors, such as diet and exercise, need to be followed.

Drinking coffee in moderation is a good choice if you work all day and must be alert and active.

Drinking coffee throughout the day and more than recommended can negatively impact your sleep and health.

Therefore, limiting intake is beneficial, and exceeding the coffee intake can cause severe effects on health.

Sweetener

Adding honey as a sweetener is optional, and you can skip it if you prefer to be low on sugars, but honey is another effective weight-loss ingredient.

This is the direct and quick way of making the drink and adding coffee and lemon to your diet occasionally.

Drawbacks of coffee

Limiting the number of black coffee drinks in plain form or adding lemon juice only twice a day can be beneficial, but increasing the cups per day can cause insomnia and sleep disruption.

It(black coffee) contains acid, and too much caffeine from coffee causes heartburn due to acid reflux.

Therefore, any drink containing black coffee should be consumed with caution, as it can have a positive or negative impact.

Having only Black coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant that is considered to work on reducing fat, according to research by Harvard, but excess consumption gets you in trouble.

Another way is to add ice to the prepared drink and have it chilled.

Can I add sweetener to the weight-loss coffee?

Adding sweetener is a big no if it contains high calories such as regular sugar or sugar, as we aim to make a low-calorie weight loss drink.

If you like to add a sweetener without any calories, stevia extract or monk fruit extract works well, as both contain zero calories and are safe to add to the drink.

Other sweeteners to add are honey, but a tablespoon of honey has many calories, and it is better to avoid adding honey.

If you like to add honey to this coffee and lemon juice weight loss drink, add a drop of this natural sweetener to give slight sweetness.

Honey is an effective weight-loss ingredient but watch out if you are calorie conscious and want to limit your calorie intake.
