Is honey fattening?

Honey isn’t bad for you at all, that is - in moderation and proper portions. If you get pure natural honey (I think Billy Bee’s is pure honey .. I’m not sure if that’s just a Canadian thing though) then there’s nothing wrong with it, because it’s all natural.. so the sugar in it isn’t refined or white.

In fact, honey is way better for you than sugar.. because sugar is refined, unless of course you use brown sugar which also isn’t bad for you since it’s natural too. Aaaand it’s amazing for sweetening tea!

actually honey is a refined sugar which is really bad for you. it has more calories in a tbsp of honey than a tbsp of sugar and yes it is fattening if you don’t workout. anything can be. eat sugar and lay around, sugars get stored and turn into fat. it’s basic knowledge

no i recomend u eat honey whith strawberries,bananas,and cotagechesse

no honey is better than sugar…honey is not fattening

Actually, eat 2 slices of toast bread ((you dont have to toast it)) just spread 1 table spoon of honey on each slice, drink a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of orange juice, and that’s alright for a breakfast. You want to add fruit then add ONE fruit. Or 5 strawberries.

1 spoon of honey a day and bad eating habits will not make you lose weight. You can drink tea. Buy Lipton’s green tea. Green tea will make you lose weight but it’s not enough. All it will do is help burn some of the fat in your body. So drink that after a large meal. I basically drink it all the time. Sometimes I’d add a couple of mint leaves or a slice of lemon for flavor.

This may sound disgusting but it works, 1 tablespoon of apple vinegar when you first wake up with one glass of warm water when you first wake up.

REMEMBER… all of these will work with time. Walk for 30 minutes. You can also walk up and down the stairs for 15 minutes. Jump rope for an hour. Or the most easiest, take a bicycle and go cycling or take up rollerblading.

And cut back on some foods. DONT starve yourself. You wont lose weight that way I guarentee it. For instance, instead of eating 10 pieces of pastry, put back 5 of them. Whenever you put something in your dish, return HALF of it back. When you deprive yourself from food, you are bound to gain all your weight AND MORE back.

Emotive.

If it has sugar in it it will be stored as fat unless you burn the calories off by exercising. Honey makes a better sweetener since it takes less to make things taste good though. Just because something says “all natural” doesn’t mean it will make you lose weight. If you eat less (smaller portions) starchy/fatty/sugary foods and exercise more your body will eventually get closer to your average BMI.

No matter what, taking a spoonful of anything each day alone will not help!

Here to hybridhumangenus666:NEWSFLASH for you! Just because YOU say it’s basic knowledge does not mean everyone knows it! This person was asking a question, so if it was BASIC KNOWLEDGE, thent hey would have know it! Get OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE! Quit being so rude!

So I thought I would just post this just in case anyone else wanted to try- and I am telling you I LOLVE Cinnamon and Honey in water way better than tea! Who would have thought!

Cinnamon and Honey

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call “crystallizing”.

When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
