Here are 2 homemade detox drinks for a flat tummy that you can make at home using very few ingredients! If you have been trying to get rid of stomach fat naturally, adding these recipes to your diet daily can help you start seeing results in as little as a few weeks.
Just to be clear though, simply drinking these flat tummy drinks alone will not get you the results you want. You need to change your diet, eat healthy, get active, and change your overall lifestyle.
Note: If you are on blood thinners or high blood pressure medications, please consult your doctor before starting this drink just to be safe. We also recommend that you add at least 30 minutes of exercise into your daily routine for the best results.
Grapefruit & ACV Juice
According to this study, 74 participants who drank grapefruit juice 3 times per day for 6 weeks were able to lose a little bit of weight but nothing significant. However, they were able to reduce their blood sugar levels within six weeks.
Also, citrus fruits like grapefruit help stimulate the liver and turn toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water. It also contains naringin and naringenin, which are antioxidants that reduce inflammation to protect the liver from injury.
ACV works by helping the liver flush out the toxins that can interfere with the body’s normal functioning. Just make sure to always dilute your apple cider vinegar with water before drinking it to prevent side effects.
Also, it’s not recommended to drink apple cider vinegar every day as it can lead to unwanted side effects. Because grapefruit helps reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, if you are on any medications for these conditions, do not drink this juice.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of grapefruit juice
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 cup of water
Preparation:
Mix all of the ingredients above into an even mixture and drink it 30 minutes before lunch. This will help you eat less and help your body burn more calories.
Detox Tea For Flat Belly
Ginger is an amazing spice or herb, depending on what you’re using it for, that helps increase the metabolism and burn calories.
It also reduces hunger pangs and has been linked to helping reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, inflammatory proteins, and liver health.
Similar to grapefruit, lemons are packed with vitamin C which helps reduce oxidative stress and free radicals from the body.
Studies also show that cumin powder helps reduce overall weight, waist circumference, fat mass, and body mass index (BMI).
Lastly, you should not eat cumin seeds if you suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol and are on medications for those conditions.
Ingredients:
- 1-inch ginger-grated
- 1/2 lemon- squeezed
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cumin seed
- 4 cups of water
Preparation:
Boil the water and add in the ginger and cumin seeds let it simmer for a few minutes, cut off the heat, and add in the lemon juice plus maple syrup. Strain the tea into a teacup and your drink is ready to consume!
Drink a glass first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and another glass right before or after lunch for the best results. I usually have mine around 4 pm daily.
