Weight Loss: Honey Water In The Morning

April 17, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 8 Comments

Experts say, the first thing you should do when you get up in the morning is to drink a glass of light honey water. You should pick  honey which is liquid without crystallization, the color should be light, and the flavor should not be too sweet.  By drinking honey water  you can both add moisture to the body and nourish the stomach, whilst promoting your  metabolism.

The vitamins and minerals in honey–including riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, zinc and magnesium–can help your body dissolve fat and cholesterol, according to the website Organic Facts. Honey also contains antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals that destroy cells. According to Oregon Health & Science University, 1 tablespoon of honey has 64 calories and no fat. It is also five times sweeter than sugar, so you need less of it to sweeten beverages and food items.

YOU WILL NEED

250ml warm water

1 tbsp of honey ( use less if too sweet for your liking )

the above contains a mere 64 calories alot less than sugary soft drinks.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING

If you’re diabetic, or have other blood-sugar control issues, be aware that honey has the same carbohydrates as white sugar  and can therefore affect your blood sugar the same way. Also, be careful not to eat too much honey. Honey is, after all, intended to be food for baby bees and to help them put on weight. As such, honey is a calorie-dense food. Measure the honey so you know how much you’re using so you don’t consume too much.

I WILL ALSO ADD THIS IS NOT A BREAKFAST SUBSTITUTE EAT BREAKFAST AS NORMAL

DIY Honey spoons are a great gift idea at Christmas time too. Perfect for gifting to someone who is feeling the flu or a cold as the honey soothes the throat and the lemon on the Honey spoon is antibacterial.

Finish this project off by wrapping them in cellophane and attaching a handmade tag or label.  You might like these Honey stickers we found on Amazon for adding to your bagged spoons.

    What experts? A well balanced breakfast would be far better than just honey in water….

    However, this would surely be better than soda, and if you’re skipping breakfast in the morning then definately go for it, at least it has some nutritional value.

    Thanks for pointing that out I sometimes assume that people are as clicked on as I am when it comes to these things. Honey water is to be drunk on an empty stomach followed by breakfast. You should ALWAYS have breakfast. And personally for me soda is BAD and should not be drunk at all. My mantra Water is the best, chuck out the rest!!!!!!!!

    I think it is a good idea in many ways, it promotes fluid comsumption. Honey has many good qualities, it was commonly used for medicinal purposed prior to the advent of modern medicine and antibiotics. It was often used for a sore throat. Even when I was young(I am only 28) if I got a cold or sore throat, I got tea with honey and lemon juice. It has been proven to fight antibiotic resistant MRSA skin sores and diabetic ulcers. There have been a few studies that those that regularly consume a certain form of honey have less allergies.(Which is probably due to small amounts being present which in a sense immunizes you body to the allergen.
    Sorry for such a long winded post, just thought I would share my thoughts.

    You’re right, before breakfast it’s a good idea, I might try it. I never drink soda anyway, I never liked the stuff. And count me in for loving warm honey drinks when I’ve got a cold 🙂

    if the honey is harvested locally, it can also help with allergies. thanks for the info!

    Question: Does it matter if the honey is unpasteurized or pasteurized?

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
