Why lemon water can be a tool in fasting ? | Dr Pal

[@PPLVL1006]

Hi Dr, I weighed 115kgs back last year and started IF with your videos as a guide. i managed to lose approximately 40kgs within 1 year and now weigh 74 kgs. I strictly follow 20 hours of IF and now 18 hours. My eating habits changed drastically, and zero cravings. Thank you, Doc. From Malaysia

[@DrPal]

Wow, that's nice to hear

[@PPLVL1006]

@DrPal Thank you, Doc, for being such an inspiration ,guidance, and a wonderful dictionary. GBU AND YR FAMILY.

After watching your videos I am into time restricted feeding for 1 1/2 months. And have lost nearly around 2 kilos. And for the hospice patients your work and dedication in uploading videos is very inspiring. 100 year old Patti Amma is super. I have made a small contribution on my birthday.

[@sumantamangg2588]

Intermittent fasting has changed my life. I managed to lose 18kg in a few months. My routine includes 5 pm dinner and 11 am breakfast. No sugar during the eating window and occasional snacks once or twice a week. I am at a point where I feel confident enough that my body weight is within my control, if I push just a little, I can easily lose 1.5-2 kg in a week. Never have I ever thought that my weight would be within my control. 16 to 18 hours fasting, stay calorie deficit, no sugar, minimum oily and processed foods. That is the way to go.

Thanks for making videos such a nice way that anybody can understand what they are doing. I started IM for a couple of months now and enjoying it thoroughly. I'm very happy to found you during my journey and I'm so happy that I'm doing things right. I was doing 18/8 and now on 20/4 . Did some 24 hrs too in the mean time. Getting really good results. Thanks again..

You are absolutely right.When my husband was having food, I usually tend to sit along.However when I sit with pure unsweetened lemon water my craving dies off.Lemon water is sure assisting in keeping our weight loss journey and craving.

Lemon water is tasting good 😊. I was very apprehensive that it would be too sour. Tried for first time after listening to this video and enjoyed it.

[@arifa7975]

Is it okay to take lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning?

[@indraganesan9611]

Fasting time can we take lemon water without sugar?

[@vimalajoseph]

Dr.Pal, you have truly motivated and Inspired IF personally. I have started since September 2022 and your wife Priya too inspired a lot. I started gradually and have finally come to my eating window is 9am to 2pm and fasting window 2pm to 9am which means 19:5 and over a period have lost 15kg and I’m super happy. But occasionally when I go for functions due to unavoidable situations though I have portion control the eating window n fasting window changes, is that ok?

[@yogananda9742]

You are changing from my life and my closed ones ❤ thank you and keep inspiring and keep sharing information❤

@DrPal, your videos have been immensely helpful. Both to watch (entertaining) and to follow (healthy). How about adding little ginger to the lemon. Also is Ginger and or lemon not acidic by themselves still how do they neutralize the acidic effects in our stomach ?

Merci beaucoup Dr. Pal. Now that we are going to start the "Lenten season" this coming Wednesday with "fasting" obligatory for all Christians on "Ash Wednesday", your advice to drink lemon water comes in handy to help maintain the "fast" and perhaps lose some weight in the process. I always laugh with your videos, and this video was so funny..hehehe! Merci beaucoup/thanks a lot/muchas gracias/grazie mille. Je vous aime Dr Pal. ✌👍❤(USA)

Hello Dr Pal , in your above video you have told lemon or lime juice can be added to water and had during intermittent fasting window period, my question is , can I add lemon or lime juice to soda. Can a tiny bit of black salt be added to the above. I am messaging from Chennai, I have been following your video since starting of pandemic. I learnt and followed lots of advices given by you. All your videos are highly informative and explained in a way people like to hear. Your Rajni dialogue at appropriate places makes hearing very interesting .

[@vnraqrm]

But Sir. I have a question. How does citric acid in lemon help neutralize an already acidic stomach which causes head ache?

[@sriramnarayanan3552]

Dr Pal, I have read that lemon contains acid, which worsens when you eat in empty stomach as its like adding fuel to fire. I didn't understand the concept of acid becoming alkaline, can you please explain in your next videos? This helps us to drink without any fear. Thanks.

[@mohammedshafiq1919]

Same question+1

[@chetanchaudhari8231]

Lemon juice in its natural state is acidic with a pH of about 2, but once metabolized it actually becomes alkaline with a pH well above 7. So, outside the body, anyone can see that lemon juice is very acidic. However, once fully digested, its effect is proven to be alkalizing with many health benefits

Hi Pal Thanks for your IF videos. It was very helpful. As you said, for the first 15-20 days it was very difficult and slowly the body gets adjusted. From 12 hours ..I now moved to 14 hours 🙏 fasting period. Now I am doing some exercises as well...and seeing a lot of changes I am seeing in the Body. My blood sugar levels H1BAC dropped from 8.3 to 6.3 in 3months. Thanks a lot for your motivation and videos 😊😊. I have a query, hitting the gym during Fasting time is advisable. Trying to lift weights during that time is advisable? Can you please help me here. I stop eating by 7:30 pm and start my breakfast by 9:30am. Generally I go to the gym by morning 6am. Without eating anything and hitting the gym I somehow feel I am stretching too much.

Small advise if you are lifting weights donot go with empty stomach or change your pattern to go for gym when you are full. My friend did the same but suffered due to low BP. It's just a suggestion donot take me wrong.
