Detox Drinks for Weight Loss Without Hitting the Gym

Do you feel overweight, busy and probably tired of hitting the gym?

Also you have changed your diet, but still feel stuck in the same body.

It’s frustrating, right?

However, there is good news, weight loss isn’t only about sweating at the gym or living off vegetables. Sometimes, it starts with what you drink.

Detox drinks are drinks you can make at home, made with vegetables, fruits and herbs that support the body’s natural detoxification. They are often rich in fiber and antioxidants that can help improve digestion and reduce bloating.

These drinks aid in weight loss by reducing fluid retention and supporting healthy metabolism. In this article I’ll be showing five detox drinks for weight loss so you don’t spend time at the gym.

Water

This is the most effective detox drink, your body runs on it, your skin loves it and your digestion works better with it. Drinking enough water not only makes your digestion smooth, but also boosts your metabolism and can help you eat less without realizing it.

Studies show that having two glasses before a meal can cut your calorie intake noticeably. You can spice up your water with slices of lemon, cucumber, even mint leaves or ginger and lime. It makes it more fun than drinking it plain.

Green Tea

Another great detoxing agent,  very rich in antioxidants called catechins and a little caffeine. Green tea boosts the body metabolism, aids weight loss by enhancing fat oxidation, while also calming inflammation. Take this in the morning before or between meals.

Karela (Bitter Gourd) Juice

Karela is bitter, but good for not just detoxing but overall health. It is packed with nutrients, fiber and compounds that regulate blood sugar and support weight loss. If you can’t handle the taste, mix it with apple juice to soften it.

A Real Talk Reminder

Your liver and kidneys are your body’s natural detoxifiers and they work 24/7. The truth is no drink can melt fat overnight. But the right drinks can:

• Keep you hydrated
• Support digestion
• Reduce bloating
• Help you feel more in control of your appetite

Be gentle and kind to your body, cut off sugar and junk food. Start small,  build the habit and you will start to notice the difference.
