4 Effective Weight loss Drinks You Can Make At Home

We all want that perfectly shaped body, right? I bet your answer is yes; but the truth is that for you to get your body to your desired goal, you need to love it the way it is first otherwise you'll be frustrated, and loathe yourself which isn't a good thing, and it can also make you feel you will never get it right when you don't see the results you want in a day or two - hence more frustration, and giving up!

The good thing about these homemade drinks is that they have no side affects - plus you will be able to monitor what is going into your mouth. 

Lemon is the key ingredient here as it plays a major role in weight loss, and detox!

Disclaimer : Please do ask your doctor if you should take any of these drinks if you're breastfeeding, taking meds, or have any form of ailment.

1. CUCUMBER/LEMON DRINK



Cucumbers are low-calorie foods loaded with dietary fibers, and they help in flushing out toxins which helps in effective digestion. Last night, I ate late and I got a bloated stomach because the food couldn't digest before my sleep time. This is a perfect drink to ease digestion once you eat 3 hours earlier before your sleep time.


Cucumber helps in increasing metabolism rate that helps in burning the extra calories in your body and helps in getting that perfect shape - therefore the combination of lemon water and cucumber juice will work wonders in your weight loss goals. 

PREPARATION:

*You need two/three glasses and a big pitcher of water. 

*Extract the cucumber juice by mixing it with water in a mixer. Please be careful when using the fruit mixers so you don't crush the cucumber seeds. 

*Add this to your big pitcher of water, then squeeze two lemons into the pitcher. 

*Add two tablespoons of honey if you want.


DRINK IT TWICE A DAY BY STORING IT IN THE FRIDGE. THIS CAN ALSO SERVE AS AN ENERGY DRINK AFTER YOUR WORKOUTS.


2. LEMON/GINGER DRINK



This is my favorite drink, and it really works! The combined effects of these two will speed up the rate of metabolism which helps you in losing weight gradually. Ginger has thermogenic effects which helps in weight loss; while lemon has high Vitamin C content which helps in flushing out toxins from the body, and also helps to decrease the swelling effect near the abdominal area. 

So if you have a pot belly, this drink is for you, and you will have that flat tummy if you follow it on a regular basis.


PREPARATION:

*Squeeze one or two lemon into a glass of water by extracting all the juice out of the lemon (depending on how sour you like your lemon)

*Grate some ginger to it, and stir. Please make sure you grate it into tiny pieces so you can drink it.

*Stir the mixture well so everything can blend before you drink.


DRINK EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING ON AN EMPTY STOMACH AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP FROM BED - FOR BEST RESULTS. IF YOU WANT TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS OF LOSING WEIGHT, THEN CONSIDER DRINKING THIS JUICE TWICE A DAY.


3. LEMON/ALOE VERA



One of the reasons why you are not losing weight is increased blood sugar levels. Aloe Vera is a magic ingredient that helps in regulating the blood sugar levels, and keeps you away from weight gain. 

It also has properties that can increase the rate of metabolism which helps you lose or maintain a healthy weight.


PREPARATION:

*Cut the edges of some fresh aloe vera leaves, and peel the outer part. 

*Use a spoon to take the gel out of the leaves. 

*In a glass of water, add the aloe vera gel, and squeeze in two lemons into it.


DRINK THIS JUICE EVERY DAY FOLLOWED BY A LOW CALORIE MEAL. DRINKING THIS FOR AT LEAST 4 TO 5 WEEKS WILL GIVE YOU VISIBLE RESULTS.


4. LEMON/MINT



Mint is known for its digestion properties. The flavor helps in activating the salivary glands which in turn aids in the production of appropriate digestive enzymes which speeds up the process of digestion. 

This will control weight gain as all the toxic substances are thrown out from the body. Lemon with its citric properties is a perfect element for weight loss, and blending of these two will show you noticeable results within 2 to 3 months if followed on a regular basis.

PREPARATION:

*Squeeze fresh lemon juice in a big glass of lukewarm water. 

*Get some fresh mint leaves, wash, and add them to this mixture. You can cut them into tiny pieces if you want. 

*Blend the ingredients well by stirring the mixture. 

*You can add honey if you want to sweeten it.


DRINK THIS EVERYDAY IN THE MORNING BEFORE YOU EAT BREAKFAST, AND AT NIGHT BEFORE GOING TO BED. IT WILL HELP YOU IN LOSING WEIGHT, AND YOU WILL SEE RESULTS WITHIN ONE to TWO WEEKS IF YOU ARE CONSISTENT.


Please remember that these are not magic weight loss drinks. This is one of the healthy ways to lose weight - as long as you follow a low calorie diet. These drinks will help in speeding up your weight loss journey but please keep in mind that you didn't gain weight overnight; so don't expect to slim down overnight.

Be ready to see mind blowing results as long as you are consistent, and eat in small portions!
