Healthy Drinks That Melt Belly Fat

Enjoyed hot or cold before breakfast, lemon water has surprising benefits that may help you lose belly fat. You will benefit from the natural metabolism lift provided by water, but the lemon provides polyphenols that have been shown in animal model studies to stave off obesity when animals are overfed a high-fat diet. One human study reported in Nutrition Journal found that a supplement of hesperidin, the main flavonoid in lemons, coupled with caffeine resulted in increased weight and fat losses. Make your lemon water by squeezing the juice from half a lemon in 8-10 ounces of water. Adding fresh mint, sliced cucumbers, and strawberries will create a refreshing spa water to help you sip yourself slim.

Juicing vegetables is a great way to slim down while getting a boost of beneficial nutrients in your diet. Try to enjoy juice that retains some pulp, as it contains filling fiber that helps slow down digestion to keep blood sugar levels stable and tamp down hunger. Since most of us don’t get our daily recommended servings of veggies, a 100% vegetable juice is a great way to up the produce in your diet while helping you lose weight. Some great veggies to juice include carrots, beets, spinach, celery, and kale.
