I have trouble losing my weight after giving birth even though i'm breastfeeding my son. My friends told me to drink fruit infused water to help burning some fat. Is it really working?

Drinking water in general boosts weight loss. A study on the effect of water on metabolism showed that drinking a large glass of water can boost your metabolism by up to 30%. Conversely, not drinking enough water and being even slightly dehydrated can actually slow your metabolism down. Drinking fruit infused water works the same way I reckon. My friends who drink fruit infused water are those who look to increase their metabolic rate but hate the "taste" of water. With the fruits inside, it makes water more refreshing and flavourful. I also reckon that the added vitamin c from the fruits are added benefits :) On top of that, a healthy diet and light exercises can also help with weight loss. You can try having long walks if you're up to it. My mommy friends say that keeping busy and doing housework helps too.

Drinking fruit infused water alone won't make you lose weight (based from personal experience). I suggest that you do exercises that can be done at home. I understand that you are breastfeeding so you still need to eat healthy foods for your child. And if you are worrying about not having exercising equipment, you can try calisthenics. It's a type of exercise wherein you only need your own body weight resistance. You can check this link for more info: http://ph.theasianparent.com/calisthenics-for-a-fitter-and-leaner-you/

I think it's more a case of motivation vs method. Diet is one thing, exercise is another. I'll echo what @Alvin said. But I will add in this motivational speech to start my morning. It works for me and it might for you too!:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyhOmBPtGNM

The best way to lose weight and still feel good is to find an activity that you enjoy doing. The physical activity will also reenergise you overall. Yoga, martial arts or even dancing worked for a lot of my friends. It's a good complement to diets you will want to try.

There's no magic water that will make you lose weight. Start with cleaning up your diet slowly by cutting down on sugary foods and liquids. Then gradually add in regular exercise that includes walking for about 30 minutes.
