Many people might not connect eating something sweet with weight loss, but honey may be useful trick to help you shed some pounds. Honey is a simple sugar, but unlike white processed sugar it contains vitamins, minerals and nutrients. When the body digests processed sugar it uses vitamins and minerals in the digestion process, rendering the sugar empty of any nutritional value. Honey helps speed up metabolism, which in turn helps the body burn more fat.
Step 1
Sweeten your desserts, foods and drinks with honey instead of white sugar. Cutting back on processed sugary products insures that your body is absorbing more nutrients and consuming less calories. If you do have a craving for something sweet, use honey in place of sugar.
Step 2
Drink 1 tsp. of honey in warm water after meals to aid digestion. Proper digestion allows the body to store vital, fat-busting minerals and vitamins and get rid of accumulated fats and waste products.
Step 3
Combine honey and lemon in a glass of warm or boiling water and drink in the morning before breakfast. The combination of honey and lemon is a potent detoxifier and will kick-start the metabolism first thing in the morning.
Step 4
Mix together 1 tbsp. of cinnamon and 1 tbsp. of honey in a glass of warm or boiling water. Anecdotal evidence supports the use of cinnamon and honey as a weight loss option, but there is no scientific research to back up this claim. Drink the cinnamon and honey mixture in the morning upon waking and in the evening before bed.
