Dietitian shares soup recipe for quick weight loss; find out if it actually works Drink lemon water before your meal Alongside a recent video of herself explaining her hack to eating out, Deepsikha wrote, “Save this restaurant tip for next time. Eating mindfully, even in restaurants, is equally important, but this tip will surely save you from causing more damage or sugar spikes. Lemon can reduce sugar spike by 30 percent and consuming water before meals will also stop you from overeating and keep you slightly full.
” In a post titled 'restaurant tip to lose weight ', she said, “Do this one thing when you are eating out if you want to cause less damage. Just add some lemon slices to your water and drink this before you eat out or before your meal because lemon will actually reduce the conversion of starch to sugar in foods that are rich in high glycemic, especially when you are eating out. And that will cause a slower spike in your blood sugar; hence creating lesser damage to you.
Therefore, drink the lemon water prior to consuming your meal out in a restaurant.” A post shared by Deepsik.
