Detox Time!

I am sure we are all familiar with how cleanses and nutrient packed diets can help us feel stronger, healthier and more energized. Detoxification removes toxins and helps you reach your weight loss goals in a relatively short period of time. So naturally it’s a good idea to detox your body on a regular basis. Since summer is around the corner recently I started incorporating a simple addition to my daily routine and I have to say it leaves me feeling a little lighter during the day. It’s a simple combination of 2 teaspoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon boiled in one cup of water. Drink it every morning, on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast, and again at night before sleeping. Drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body, and lets you absorb more of all the daily nutrients.  For those that are not fans of cinnamon or honey here are some easy homemade detox drinks for weight loss are a natural way to melt the fat fast. Please note that detoxification should not be extended over a long period of time. Standard time is 3-7 days.

Tea: Tea is a natural detox drink that expels toxins from your system. Dandelion tea, green tea, peppermint tea, and ginger tea are effective in supporting weight loss.

Cranberry Juice: Cranberry juice enhances the body’s metabolism, which is essential to converting fats into energy instead of excess weight.

Cabbage Juice: Cabbage is very effective for detoxifying your liver, which is responsible for the detoxification of your body.

Cucumber and Lemon: Blend 1 cucumber sliced into tiny pieces and the juice half a lemon. Drink at least 2 times per day. This detox drink boosts your metabolism, and loads you with energy.

Happy Detoxing!
