Lemon Nutritional Facts

Lemon Nutritional Facts

Lemon is a fruit that is teeming with vitamin C. One cup or 244 grams of lemon equals just 61 calories and 21 carbohydrates with 187% of the daily value recommended for vitamin C. For this cayenne pepper water lemon maple syrup drink, one or two ounces of lemon juice freshly squeezed would be used. Here is how that nutrional profile breaks down.

Notice that only one ounce is just seven calories. Now that we know the caloric and fat content of lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and maple syrup, let's see the totals:

* Cayenne pepper calories: 1 to 3 (prorated)
* Lemon juice: 7
* Maple syrup: 52
* Water: 0
* Total Calories: 60 to 63

While you would be getting some complement of vital nutrients, you would not be getting your full, daily requirment. That is ill advised. With this information at hand, I find it very unlikely that those who drink this concoction on a daily basis are completely healthy. Now if they combine it with perhaps one large vegetable salad meal and another high-fiber, nutritious, non-processed meal, I can see why weight loss would occur. Such a salad would have to have many vegetables in order to give the necessary vitamins, enzymes, minerals and carbohydrates needed for daily energy.

Just drinking this cayenne pepper water lemon maple syrup concoction a couple of times a day would still be insufficient and hunger would result. The psychological factor of a diet for hoped-for weight loss is a critical factor to consider as well.

Still, that all said, two fruit or vegetable meals, combined with this drink would most definitely result in weight loss due to the intense caloric deficit. Add that diet and supplement regime to aerobic and a weight training program and weight loss is sure to happen.

Some are advocating that this drink should be used on a liquid fast to facilitate cleansing. That is an intriguing idea as I've been on many three-day pure fruit juice fasts in my life. If that is the case, this drink's stock has just risen in my book.

It's easier to believe in this drink as a cleanse facilitator than as an instant weight-loss potion.

Let me add a wrinkle here. Bee pollen is an incredible natural supplement. According to Carlson Wade in his book about bee pollen, one can live on only 30 or so grams of bee pollen a day as it has every vitamin, mineral, amino acid, enzyme and trace nutrient necessary to sustain life. If you were taking this cayenne pepper water lemon maple syrup drink with one good vegetable meal a day AND a good bee pollen supplement or bee pollen granules in a drink, weight loss would occur with one's daily nutrient requirements being met.

Cayenne is one of the greatest health secrets in the world, but so is bee pollen. It's amazing.I've been using bee pollen since 1981 and can attest to its incredible health benefits.
