A member asked:
Is it true you can lose weight if you have a tad of fresh lemon juice with a pinch of salt on a empty stomach, daily?

No: I wish it were that easy. The only way to lose weight is to reduce the number of calories you eat.

If only that easy!!!: Don't waste your money on 'fat burners', laxatives, 'cleansers', or anything else that promises an easy way to lose weight. Short of surgery, drop & keep fat off by regular exercise & making healthy food choices (avoid junk food & sugary drinks, watch portion size, moderate alcohol). If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't (like your "tad of fresh lemon juice with a pinch of salt).
