First, what San said..second..what the hell are you smoking??
1) Citric Acid doesn't change the properties of honey. It is still a sugar..still calories thus still has to be factored in to weight loss. You know why honey is often added to lemon or other acids? Cause it cuts the sour taste.
As per a study by the national honey board (http://www.bjcp.org/mead/4tastes.pdf) and excuse the formatting as it is originally this way and I didn't want to take the effort in fixing it for you:
Honey Can Decrease the Sourness of Solutions and Has the Potential to Improve Consumer Acceptability of Sour Products
To measure this effect,
honey was added to citric
acid solutions of varying
concentrations. The
perception of sourness
was linearly related to the
concentration of citric
acid. The sourness
intensity of a 0.08% citric
acid solution was rated at
50 and the addition of
25% honey (clover,
orange blossom or
wildflower) decreased the
sourness to a rating of 14-
17. This effect was even
more pronounced in very
sour solutions (0.15%
citric acid); the addition of
25% honey resulted in
almost a 75% decrease in
sourness (from 100 to 22–
26).
It's not the 'properties' of the honey that is changes, it's the perception on the taste buds that changes. Neither matter for weight loss.
2) Detox is a myth debunked so many times in so many ways that for me to list all the medically sound studies against it would fill this page. Don't get your science from the weight loss industry.
3) Deep breathing? ok, you can induce hyperventilation if you want but it's not going to help you lose weight. In the case of metabolic acidosis, the body uses hyperventilation as a compensatory mechanism to decrease acidity of the blood. In the setting of diabetic ketoacidosis, this is known as Kussmaul breathing - characterized by long, deep breaths.
Changes acidity in blood..not for weight loss either..and not something to do lightly. Deep breathing does NOTHING to fat.
And finally.......ANYONE suggesting that losing almost 20 pounds in 8 days is healthy is an idiot. Let me rephrase that because I'm going to break my own rule on this. If you find this insulting, take it up with the site admin.
You are an idiot. NO ONE should take your advice on this. It is unhealthy, dangerous, and medically false.

LOL..share the details... dont just put wrong info for people...
honey is sweet yes but when its taken with lemon due to the citric acid its behavior changes.. its like for drinking water u cannot smell hydrogen first and oxygen later you have to have the water(H2O - a combination) but there is a lot of hydrogen and oxygen in air y dont we breathe water its again chemistry. People should learn a word called "Property" - that changes when you mix something with the other... Lemon, gooseberry, aloevera are amazing stuff for metabolism and as detox... I saw that people doing yoga these days alot - as deep breathing is the best to cut fat as ur metabolism goes high... try this practically sometime ... after eating do deep breathing for 20 mins thats it... and you will feel that in an hour u can have full meal again(guranteed and for this you wont have to depend on medical science)... i lost 15 Kgs just by deep breathing and eating these detox but i noticed a pattern when i was just using detox (gooseberry, aloe vera leaves) it was doing great n i lost 9 kgs in 22 days.. but the process became faster when i started taking honey and lemon in warm water and i lost 6Kgs in 8 days it definitely helps also for those who have dry skin taking this will give u a glow.. have a little cucumber also in breakfast... NEVER take honey and Lemon with cold water it helps in gaining weight for underweight peole...
There is no myth in this... try this for a week and see ur self you dont have to listen to anyone then.. u know ur body the best.
