When it comes to weight loss, most articles focus on the foods you eat or don’t eat, but what isn’t talked about enough is the (just as effective) fat flush detox drinks.
What drinks help you actually get rid of fat?
Well, this drink can help you do that and more. It helps detox your organs which helps with your energy and even your hair and skin! That’s right, clear up your skin problems with this. Drink this combined with moderate exercise, and you’ll start to see those pounds drop.
Citrus Fat Flush Drink
Ingredients:
1 half-gallon (Pitcher)
1 1/2 cup cranberry juice
1 handful of strawberries
3 lemons (Sliced)
1 cucumber (Sliced)
Why it Works:
Cranberry juice is a natural diuretic packed with flavonoids, enzymes, and organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and quinic acid, which have an emulsifying effect on stubborn fat deposits in the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system — the body’s “garbage collector” — transports all kinds of waste products not processed by the liver.
With the help of the organic acid components, cranberry juice digests stagnated lymphatic wastes.
This explains why so many Fat Flushers report that their cellulite disappears!
Lemons have long been used as a way to not only curb your appetite, they also suppress and break down fat, specifically around your belly.
Strawberries are rich in anthocyanins, which help boost the body’s production of a hormone called adiponectin.
This hormone further helps in boosting metabolism and aids weight loss.
You combine all these ingredients together and bam! There you go, on the road to turning your body into a weight loss machine.
Here’s another recipe many trainers use:
C & C Fat-burning drink
Ingredients:
– 1 half gallon water
– 3 tsp cumin
– 3 inch cinnamon
– 1 tsp honey
– 1 tsp lemon
Directions:
– Put water into a large saucepan.
– Add 3 tsp cumin and 3 inch cinnamon.
– Boil for 5 minutes or more until
the flavors are absorbed.
– Cool slightly, and filter out the water.
– In a tall glass take prepared warm detox water.
– Add 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp lemon. mix well.
– Finally, enjoy a cumin cinnamon fat-burning drink early in the morning.
Using the power of cumin and cinnamon combined, this detox drink will help flush the fat from your system while helping reduce food cravings by promoting a feeling of satiety and fullness. Cinnamon can boost metabolism since the body uses more energy to process the spice than it does for other foods.
Even if you’re not following a specific diet or trying to lose weight, you can sip this tart and refreshing beverage daily to help flush out water weight, balance blood sugar, improve cellulite and keep your liver and lymph in optimum cleansing mode.
Many people have reported that this Fat Flush Detox has helped them lose weight.
This isn’t surprising, because any diet that creates a calorie deficit can promote weight loss.
What’s more, the diet promotes weight loss methods such as cutting refined carbs and added sugars and increasing intake of protein and fiber.
All of these actions have been associated with fat loss and improvements in body composition
