6 Healthy Weightloss Drinks To Kickstart Your Metabolism

Hello lovely people!

Today I will get you acquainted with some easy to make low calorie drinks. These drinks not only help you to lose weight but also to flush out toxins accumulated in your body. To get the optimal benefit you should take your drink in the morning on an empty stomach. If you want to see effective changes in 2-3 months then you should maintain regularity. Unless otherwise stated you should take a glass of your favourite low calorie drink at the same time every morning and then after a fixed gap of 45 minutes you should have your breakfast. Another thing I would like to mention here; not every drink is perfect for everyone. For example, if you have acidity problems lemon-honey water may not be a good choice as it may increase the acid level. So choose your drink considering your overall health and ailments. Please read on to know more.

How to Prepare: Soak 2 tablespoon methi (fennel seed) overnight with 4-5 chiretta leaves in a glass of water. Strain it in the morning and drink. As the taste will be very bitter you can add a little bit of honey to it.

5. Lemon-Ginger-Cucumber Infused Water

Infused waters are also called flat-tummy water because they help to cure obesity and belly bloating problem quickly. This particular combination of lemon, ginger and cucumber is suitable for everyone including diabetic people.

How to Prepare: Take 2 freshly cut slices of ginger (1/2 inch each), 2 medium slices of cucumber and 3 freshly cut slices of lemon in a wide mouthed 1lit sized bottle. Fill the rest of the bottle with plain water. Shut the lid tightly and store it in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours. Stain the water afterwards and keep sipping throughout the day. Staining is must or the drink will taste bitter due to over-infusion.

Having this drink is very useful for calming down your digestive system after your adventure with unhealthy food the day before. You can take this drink before, after or in between your daily work-out routine also. As it contains brown sugar; it will boost up the energy level when you are doing high intensity exercises like cardio or kick-boxing.

How to Prepare: Soak 2 tablespoon fennel seed and 1 tablespoon brown sugar for 7-8 hours in 250ml water. Strain the seeds out and drink the concoction.
