To diversify the taste, citruses, apples or mint leaves are added to it. Compote with ginger and lemon has a yellowish-beige tint, as in the photo. In hot summers, such a drink perfectly quenches thirst, replenishes the supply of strength and energy, and in winter it warms the body from the inside, boosts immunity and gives vigor.

    Peel the root. Cut into thin slices with a sharp knife.

    Put the ginger into the pot. Fill with clean water and put on the stove. After boiling the compote, make the fire quieter and simmer for another 7 minutes.

    Wash the lemons, remove the pits and chop them randomly.

    Add lemon slices and sugar to the pan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Switch off.

    Let stand and cool.

    Instead of sugar, you can sweeten with natural honey. Then the compote will bring more benefits and become a full-fledged source of nutrients and vitamins.

    Important: add honey when the drink is at room temperature. During cooking, all the useful substances in it are destroyed.

    Adding apples to a classic recipe

    In the traditional way of making compote, you can add notes of sweetness and fruit. A great friend of ginger and lemon is apples. Fruits are boiled in a saucepan along with the root. Then lemon is added to them. For a more spicy aroma, the housewives introduce a few grams of cinnamon into the drink.


    If you cook compote for weight loss, you can use sour lime instead of lemon. You will get an excellent fat-burning and thirst-quenching compote with a citrus aroma. In addition, along with apples, you can send fresh pears or a small handful of rose hips to the pan.

    The drink is served in a carafe, having previously dropped ice cubes into it, and garnished with an orange slice or a sprig of mint.

Healthy food should be complemented by the right drinks. In addition to priceless water, these are juices, fruit drinks, smoothies, teas and, of course, homemade compotes. They can be very diverse, but with the addition of spices they become unique in taste and degree of usefulness for the body.

The fashion for ginger and lemon for weight loss came to us from the USA, and not from China, as the advertisement claims. There, in fact, it appeared as a way to attract customers to health food stores, where organic ginger was sold. A drink with this spicy root, as well as "natural" lemon and honey, has become a kind of way to lure the fattest nation in the world anywhere except supermarkets with discounted prices and not the healthiest products. Housewife magazines such as OK and Hello published articles about miracle ginger, and it was all presented as "news from the life of Hollywood stars." In fact, the ginger drink has a much more ancient history, and a completely different set of useful qualities.

Can ginger with lemon for weight loss burn fat

Unlucky lovers of a lot and tasty food hunt for "compote" from ginger for one reason - almost every thematic blog pours a "song" about the fact that ginger is a thermogenic and burns fat.

A thermogenic is a substance that can raise body temperature and increase calorie expenditure. Something like “no diet and exercise” is usually screwed in here, but this is not entirely true. Even the strongest thermogenic mixtures with caffeine, ephedra and HEGT raise the temperature by no more than a few tenths of a degree, which increases calorie consumption by no more than 2-4%. Similar studies for ginger with lemon, by the way, have not yet been conducted. But the mild thermogenic effect of gingerol is a fact. And now to the notorious percentages - even if we take the most “promoted” metabolism and a person with a basal metabolism of 1600 kcal, the indicated percentages will increase the daily consumption by no more than tens of calories. Which will happily return to your diet with a spoonful of healthy organic honey, because you season your miracle drink with it.

Conclusion: relying on thermogenic fat burners, at least if we are not talking about a strict pre-competitive diet of an athlete-bodybuilder, is not particularly worth it. It will not be possible to create a deficit with them. Then why do we need a ginger drink with lemon.

Ginger with lemon for weight loss as a source of antioxidants

Standard drink recipe:

  • 50 g of grated root, juice of 1 lemon, 1.5 liters of boiling water, 1 tablespoon of honey, insist in a thermos, take 150 ml before meals.

In the notorious Chinese medicine, by the way, it is taken as a folk remedy for colds and to strengthen the immune system. Ginger is considered a warming product, and properties are prescribed for it to "distill" excess fluid and mucus from the body. The latter, in the terminology of traditional medicine, are the cause of colds. Classical medicine, on the other hand, sees other reasons - weakened immunity and exposure to the corresponding viruses. By the way, doctors with a diploma also do not think that the drink is useless - you can drink it in autumn and spring, because it really has immunomodulatory properties.

In the beauty industry, a completely different legend is common. Allegedly, vitamin C from lemon is the strongest antioxidant that can affect the rate of fat burning. In principle, there are several studies demonstrating in practice that athletes whose diet is rich in vitamin C have better anabolic processes and faster fat oxidation. But it is worth emphasizing that ordinary consumers of compotes for weight loss to athletes, approximately, like to the moon - not the level of physical activity, and a very mediocre rate of metabolic processes. And with discipline, athletes usually have a completely different relationship.

On “just overweight women,” the antioxidant properties of ginger drink have not been tested. And no one knows exactly how much and how exactly the drink affects the rate of lipolysis, even if it is running in the body.

How Ginger and Lemon Actually Works for Weight Loss

Everything written below applies to people without allergies to citrus fruits, gingerol and honey. But it doesn't apply to them either. Some have an individual reaction to the drink, and it, on the contrary to the expected effect, increases appetite.

A hot drink with a burning, and at the same time, fresh taste simply "stuns" the taste buds. And the light sweetness of honey does not allow you to want some more biscuits and jams. You drink a cup and your sugar cravings are satisfied. In addition, the blood sugar level is slightly elevated, due to the same honey. As a result, you sit down to dinner without much feeling of hunger, and you can calmly chew your dietary chicken breasts with broccoli without looking back at your comrades with potatoes and meat at the next table. By the way, about the diet. If you precede a cup of tea with eating starchy foods, or sweets containing a lot of simple carbohydrates, acid reflux and pain in the gastrointestinal tract may occur even in a healthy person. True, “educating” yourself in such ways is a bit “harsh”, right?

That's the whole secret of ginger "compote" or "tea". By the way, if you add various ingredients such as green tea, hibiscus, rose hips, maple syrup and other things to it, it will not get better or worse in terms of weight loss. It just takes on a different flavor.

By the way, the development of latent intolerance to the miracle drink is also possible after some time of systematic drinking. This may be due to the fact that you, for example, have gastritis, but you do not know about it. Any discomfort such as heartburn, therefore, should be a reason to stop the drug, and a reason to see a doctor. Well, the banal allergy caused by an “overdose” of citrus in the diet seems to have obvious reasons - lemon, grapefruit, suites, what else do weight loss lovers eat with food?

As for the numerous dietary supplements with ginger and lemon, the result of their use will depend on the conscientiousness of the manufacturer, the individual tolerance of the product, and your honesty with yourself. You still have to follow the diet, and the skin with muscles themselves does not tighten from ginger either.
