6 Amazing Teas That Make You Slim

Its high content of antioxidants makes green tea one of the healthiest drinks, and EGCG catechin stimulates metabolism directly. In addition to this, green tea contains caffeine which also stimulates the fat burning process.

Drink 3-5 cups a day, but be careful, you should not drink more than 12, as it may cause poisoning.

White tea

White tea has more catechins and less caffeine than green tea, and it is another good choice for those who are trying to lose weight.

However, if you do not reduce the calorie intake, no tea on the planet will make a difference, but it will sure help you burn fat and prevent the accumulaton of fatty deposits.

Blueberry tea

This tea naturally reduces appetite and regulates blood sugar level. Several cups of blueberry tea a day will keep you away from the fridge and also regulate food digestion.

Hibiscus tea

Hibiscus tea is a natural diuretic, it reduces cholesterol levels and regulates high blood pressure. It prevents the accumulation of fat, but always choose tea that does not contain sugar substitutes.

Mint

Mint tea works great if you are bothered with bloating. It will also help you burn fat, and reduce your appetite.

 Rose tea

Rose tea is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols. It relieves menstrual cramps and provides natural weight loss.

NFUSED WATERS : ENERGY, LOSE WEIGHT, AND FEEL AMAZING

No matter where I go….I have my trusty glass water bottle or mason jar with a little something something. Everyone wants to know what the heck I’m drinking. —-most often, they honestly think it’s moonshine. Geez, I’m from New York and never even heard of moonshine until I got here let alone walk around drinking it in public. But having this mason jar with stuff in it very often becomes the topic of conversation. Why? It’s different. It’s pretty. It’s not Dasani, it’s not good ole southern sweet tea, or the infamous diet coke,(which by the way I was totally addicted to for 20 years.) and it most certainly can’t be Gatorade because it doesn’t’ have the amazing unnatural fluorescent glow to it.  So what is in it? For me, something different almost everyday. Whatever is fresh or frozen and available in my fridge or freezer. Usually, whatever fruit is in season that I picked up at the local market and some herb that I managed not to kill with my green (actually black) thumb!  Everyone asks,what else can you put in it? How long do you leave in the fruit? Why is it so good? Where can I get more recipes? What are your favorites? Soooooooo, here are my top 10 infused water recipes.

1) Cucumber, Mint, and Lemon

2) Watermelon and Mint

3) Cara Cara Oranges and Cinnamon

4) Mango, Strawberries, and Cilantro

5) Lime and Strawberries

6) Pineapple, Raspberries, and Lime

7) Peaches, Peaches, and more Peaches (when in season)

8) Strawberries, Lemon and Basil

9) Grapefruit and Rosemary

10) Smashed Blueberry and Orange



Your fruit can be frozen or fresh. If you want more flavor in your water, let it sit longer. I usually make my batch in the morning and it just keeps getting better as the day goes on. It’s an easy way for me to make sure I am getting my minimum of 8 cups! When my 2 quart mason jar is empty, I’m good to go. I still usually have a few extra cups…..especially if I’ve worked out a lot that day. And you don’t need exact recipes. If you love lime, add more. If you hate basil, don’t add it. Make up your own and tell me about your favorites so I can try them!!!

So why do I LOVE my infused water? Because it puts a spin on just plain ole water. Because I am drinking it out of glass and not plastic that could possibly kill me down the road at the rate I drink water. Because it is so stinkin beautiful you just want to drink it all day long. Because it tastes so unbelievably delicious that it becomes easy to get my 8-10 cups of water in a day. Because I KNOW how important it is to hydrate and I REFUSE to waste my calories on some artificial crap that my body can’t process! (aka, Vitamin Water, Gatorade, Crystal Light, Diet everything, tropicana…..) Once you find the right waters for your little taste buds……you may fall in love, while gaining energy, becoming less achy and inflamed, losing weight, and saying good-bye to some of those nasty headaches. Drink Water. Make it delicious. Drink lots and feel freakin’ awesome.

The Amazing Fat Melting Drink You Can Make in 2 Minutes.

If you’re living in the northern hemisphere right now, warmer weather and longer days have been signalling the start of summer quickly approaching. For all the ladies, not only does it mean that bikini season is here, but it also marks one of the busiest times of the year for weddings.

There’s nothing worse than feeling bloated when you’re trying to look your best. Whether you’re trying to look good in a swimsuit or squeezing into a bridesmaid’s dress, losing a few extra pounds in a pinch is probably just a dream

Instead of attempting a detox or fasting diet that could leave you heavier than when you started, or wiped out of energy, I’ve created the perfect fat melting drink for you to use.

All of the ingredients are natural and can be found at your local grocery store. Plus, this drink is delicious and super easy to make.

• 8 green tea bags, preferably caffeinated
• 8 cups of filtered water
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced thin
• 1 large orange, sliced thin
• 1 lemon, sliced thin
• 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
• A handful of fresh mint leaves

Instructions 

• Bring the filtered water to a boil.

• Take the water off the stove and add the green tea bags to steep in the boiled water for about 5 minutes.

• While the tea is steeping, add the slices of cucumber, orange, and lemon to a large pitcher. Add the grated ginger.

• When the tea is done steeping, pour it into the pitcher filled with the fresh fruit and ginger.

• Toss the mint leaves in the pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for about one hour.

This mixed drink will stay fresh for up to two days in the refrigerator.

It’s as easy as that!

One mistake people commonly make when trying to lose that bloat is drink ready made smoothies. I mean, smoothies seem like a healthy alternative – it’s just fruit and ice, right?

Nope.

Popular smoothie chains load up their drinks with hidden sugars, fructose laden juice, and frozen yogurt or sherbert. While they may taste refreshing and healthy going down, they are anything but perfect for a trim body. Meaning, they will take a toll on your lean eating plan and will derail your hopes of feeling less bloated since sweeteners and sugars both cause gas and bloating.

This drink is just the opposite of a smoothie and it’s sugar free. With a healthy base of green tea, the heat from the boiling water pulls all of the nutrients out of the added fresh ingredients. Then, the cold refrigeration stops the cooking process so the fruits and veggies are not zapped of their vitamins and benefits.

I drink this mixture throughout the day and usually make it at least two days before I have an event. I also try to drink this recipe whenever I’m feeling a little bloated or sluggish. And it’s a sneaky way to include more water in my diet.

Let’s face it, drinking water alone can get boring, but there’s no better appetite suppressant. Additional glasses of water (or tea) also help cut the sodium in your diet, which in turn will help decrease bloating and flush out toxins.

I’m not surprised that this drink works so well since all of the ingredients have been studied as weight loss aids.

Take a look at each of the ingredients below to see just why this drink helps you lose weight fast.
