Weight loss happens by continous diet management and regular exercise. Lemon juice is a healthy drink but it has no role to play in weight loss. It is just a myth like many others like Green Tea. Aloe Vera. Etc. For exercise follow 40: 10:10 formula for max weight loss. # 40 min Cardio # 10 mins Abs & Stretches # 10 mins Strength and Toning For Diet. Cut down all sugar stuff. Colas. Juices. And fried foods. Focus more on fruits. Veggies. Salads. Soups etc. Consult a dietician for a detailed diet plan.
