Why would you believe that sugar and water will make you lose weight?
The only way to "loose calories" is to use them in physical activity. Keep up the workouts, dump the silly drink, k?
Here are some of the benefits of honey... It includes a weight loss regimen...
Sweetie, if that were true America would not be facing the obesity crisis we are today, every doctor in the country would have their patients doing it... if only! ;0)
Yeah I think it might be able to, but do you think the drug companies would want you to know that? I don't think they would ever bring that topic up. Try it and if you still are the same weight or gain then you know for sure if it is a sham or not.
yes it is not a belief, it is cure for weight loss.
Honey and water alone will not help. Here is a proven formula for you.
Take 2 cups of organic apple cider vinegar, 8 garlic cloves, and a cup of honey. Blend in a mixer until the garlic is chopped. Store in the fridge for 1 day. Then, take 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a large glass of hot water every day.
A study done in China reports that people have lost up to 10 lbs a week but I don't know if that is every week or only the first week.
The following details which help you and also answers your question. Hope you will satisfy with it.. . . . .
Honey is healthier compared to refined sugar since honey has traces of minerals and vitamins to its credit. Honey contains fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar since it contains water. Lime is a good source of vitamin C. There is no harm in taking one spoon of fresh honey mixed with the juice of half a lemon in a glass of lukewarm water first thing in the morning. It is very effective for constipation, hyperacidity, and obesity.
Home Remedies to REDUCE / LOSE WEIGHT
Reduce Weight by Natural Ways
Obesity or overweight is a condition characterized by excessive deposition or storage of fat in adipose tissues. Over the years it has been a common problem all over the world.
Ayurveda describes eight types of bodies, which are considered bad. Out of the eight, the two that are widely explained are: very thin body and very fat body. It has been proved that out these two those who are very fat have most diseases and troubles. This is because the extra fat puts a strain on the heart, kidneys, liver and the joints such as the hips, knees and ankles. Over weight persons are susceptible to several diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gall bladder disorders. The chief cause of obesity or over-weight is often overeating, irregular eating habits and not following the rules of eating including improper mixing of food items in one meal.

remedies According to ayurveda home remedies are prepared in the same way and with the same purpose as other ayurvedic medicines. The main aim is to obtain the maximum therapeutic benefit while making it palatable.
Some common methods of preparing home remedies are:
Juice
The juice may be taken from the fresh leaves, flowers or stems of the herb. The part of the herb used should be crushed or ground in a mortar and pestle, to make a paste. This paste should be put in a piece of cloth and squeezed to take out the juice.
Dosage: One to two tablespoons twice a day.
Powder
Dried herbs are used for powders.
The herbs are usually dried in a cool, shady and well-ventilated place, although some herbs are dried in direct sunlight. The herbs are then ground into a fine powder and stored in a dry, airtight bottle. The powder may be taken with water, or if specified, with milk or honey.
Dosage: Half to one teaspoon twice a day
Decoction
A decoction is prepared by boiling the herb in water (ratio: 1 part herb to 16 parts water). The herbs are broken into pieces and soaked in water overnight. This mixture is then boiled until it reduces to one quarter of the original volume. It is then filtered and stored in a glass bottle.
Dosage: One to two tablespoons twice a day.
Infusion
Herbs are soaked in water to make an infusion (ratio: 1 part herb to 8 parts water). Hot infusions result from adding herbs to hot water, or gently heating but not boiling the mixture. This is strained and taken internally. Herbal teas are forms of hot infusions. Cold infusions are made from soaking the herb overnight. Honey can be added.
Dosage: half to one cup once or twice day.
Paste
A paste can be made from either fresh or dried herbs. The flowers, roots, stems, leaves or bark are ground and mixed with water. Pastes are mainly used for external application, in cases of cuts, burns and swellings. The paste should be thick enough to be applied in a layer to the skin.
Tablets
The herbs should be first dried separately and then mixed together in a powder form, in fixed proportions. Water or herbal juice can be added to this powder to make a paste, from which tablets of a specific size or weight are made. Tablets remain potent longer than juices, powders, pastes or decoctions.
Dosage: 1 or 2 tablets twice a day.
Medicated ghee and oilGhee is cooked with herbal juices, decoctions or pastes. The ghee should be heated with the herbal mixture at a moderate, controlled temperature. High temperatures can easily burn the ghee or oil, destroying its effectiveness. Medicated ghee and oils are either used internally or massaged externally.
Dosage: Half to one tablespoon.

This is what is called as an "old wives' tale" . In this case, the old wife happens to be Indian.
Honey has carbs. If you consume it your body will absorb it and turn it into fat if there is a calorie surplus. As simple as that.
No it can make you sweet
No it's not true, there isn't anything you can eat to loose weight, but honey is good for you.
