I heard that drinking some water mixed with lemon juice first thing in the morning when you wake up would help "eat" the fat ... but I woudl not advise it especially if you got some liver problems because of the acidity of the lemon
And in any case don't do it for too long

Actually with both lemon and lime, when consumed, become alkaline. They are acidic on your teeth so mix with water 1 to 1 ratio. juicing for health is a great web site

How much water you drink does make a difference in how much fat your body is able to metabolize (burn off). If we do not drink enough water (which many people do not) the kidneys are unable to efficiently do their job. When this is the case they dump some of their work load on the liver. It's the liver's job to metabolize stored fat. So when the liver is doing part of the kidney's job they are not metbolizing as much stored fat.
Drinking aequate water also effects the body in many other ways that can contribute to fat loss. The reason for drinking lemon in water is that lemon can act as a diuretic, meaning it will help eliminate some of the water we store under the skin. It doesn't actually have anything to do with body fat.
Hope that helps.

drinking lime water was what i liked doing often,till i noticed that when i urinate, some white substance come out of my body. my aunt then adviced me that lime is not good for a womans body, that it slacks the womb. i dont know how true it is but i quit for some time and i was fine. i still want to resume cos i learnt it reduces weight.
