Does honey aid in weight loss?

My aunt told me that drinking warm water with honey and lemon in the morning helps with weight loss. I'm trying to lose some weight, so I started doing this. Does honey really aid in shedding those extra kilos?

Many people drink warm water with honey and lemon in the morning. It can help with digestion, but remember that honey still has sugar and calories. You must cut down on oily foods and tea sugar to see real weight loss.

My grandmother always told me to replace white sugar with honey for health. But my doctor recently clarified that honey is also dense in calories and should be used in very small limits if you want to lose weight.

Let's be realistic, honey is mostly sugar. Replacing five spoons of sugar with five spoons of honey won't help you lose a single gram. Use it very sparingly and focus on a proper caloric deficit instead.

Honey can be a healthier alternative to processed sugar as it has a lower glycemic index, but it still contributes to your daily calorie count. Moderation is key. If you have any metabolic conditions like diabetes, consult your dietician before adding it to your routine.

I was reading about this on a few nutrition blogs. Honey is slightly better than refined sugar because of antioxidants, but it doesn't actually burn fat on its own. It is all about your total daily calorie intake.
