Best Detox Waters To Burn Fat & Lose Weight

Grapefruit and mint make for a refreshing combination—and one that provides a glassful of vitamins and minerals, too. Grapefruit has been found to help with weight loss, and specifically, abdominal fat loss, because of its phytochemicals, according to a study published in Metabolism. Grapefruit water on its own would be a delicious way to help detox and burn fat, but when you throw in some mint, you’ll have a burst of both flavor and helpful detoxing minerals.

There isn’t as much research on the weight loss effects of mint, but one study from Neurogastroenterology & Motility found that peppermint oil was able to reduce appetite in some patients. It may not be super promising on its own, but toss some into your grapefruit water and you’ll have an extra flavorful way to stay hydrated.

You may not think of cumin when you think of refreshing flavored water, but you might want to reconsider, especially because research has found that the combination of lime and cumin may have a handful of health benefits. According to a 2016 study, those who ate lime and cumin (high-dose) together for eight weeks experienced positive results on weight loss and reduction of BMI. The same people also had lower levels of LDL cholesterol after the experiment.
