Billionaire Harsh Goenka recently shared a humorous post poking fun at a popular weight loss hack. The hack, which involves drinking warm honey-lemon water on an empty stomach, is often touted as a remedy to boost metabolism and shed pounds. However, Goenka, the chairman of RPG Group, had a witty take on the trend, saying that instead of losing weight, he ended up losing the ingredients.
“I was told that if you drink lemon juice with honey every morning for two months, you will lose 2 kg,” Goenka wrote in a post on X. “After two months, I had lost 2 kg of lemons and 3 kg of honey,” he added, making light of the common advice.
Goenka’s playful comment, which is a well-known joke circulating on social media, had his followers in stitches. One user joked, “The only thing that got lighter was your kitchen stock! Weight loss myths are undefeated, but at least you got a refreshing morning drink out of it.”
Another follower quipped, “I lost 50 kg of water along with the lemon and honey.”
One comment read, “Mr. Goenka, it seems the lemons and honey have managed a disappearing act while the weight remains a loyal companion. Such are the ironies of life and diet fads!”
Another user added, “But at least you gained a good sense of humor. Nothing goes to waste in this world.”
In a similar vein, one commenter shared thoughts about green tea and weight loss, saying, “The only way to lose weight with green tea is by actually climbing a mountain, picking fresh tea leaves, boiling them, and then drinking tea.
While the honey-lemon water trend is popular among dieters, there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in weight loss. While a warm drink may help with digestion, it does not contribute to long-term weight loss.
