Have you ever given thought to the fact that summers happen to be kind of the best time to lose weight? No, not because you will be able to wear bathing suits without feeling conscious in it! The main reason summers happen to be the best time to lose weight is because you tend to sweat more in summers, simple as that!
We also tend to eat less in summers, so that also helps us tremendoulsly in losing weight during the season! However you need to keep in mind that you follow a balanced diet during this time, so that you are able to provide your body with all the nutrients that it needs! Hydration, especially is of the utmost importance in this hot weather!
Ever thought of indulging in flavoured, nutrient-filled water? Well, think about it, because we have a few recipes up our sleeves that you might like and will also help you shed those kilos!
Cucumber Detox Water:
Grab your sipper and give this one a go! Slice your cucumber, and add it to the water and let your sipper sit in the fridge overnight! This will help the water absorb all the nutrients that cucumber has to offer along with its amazingly refreshing flavour too!
As cucumber is a brilliant source of Vitamin B, magnesium and potassium, it has exceptional detoxifying properties, which makes it an ideal ingredient to add to a detox drink! And the fact that it is low in calories also helps you lose weight effectively! Another fact that contributes to its property of being a great addition to weight loss is that it helps curb your appetite and is full of fiber too!
Lemon and Mint Water:
Lemon is a quite a common ingredient when it comes to a whole variety of beverages that are served in summers. Adding lemon to detox water is no exception. Apart from helping boost weight loss, it also helps in rejuvenating your skin.
Adding a few springs of mint to this amazing concoction will not only help you feel refreshed, but will also act as an exceptional cooling agent! Think of that Mojito feel, without all the added calories! This one is truly a winner for us, personally tried and tested!
Cinnamon & Apple:
Another classic combo to get you started on your weight loss journey this year! Apple and cinnamon together have been proven to be a wonderful fat burning combination for quite sometime now! That said we don’t mean that you decide to indulge in an apple pie or an apple crumble! We strictly mean this in a healthy way!
Cinnamon is a known metabolism booster while the fiber rich apple helps in curbing your hunger pangs and makes you feel fuller for an extended amount of time! Pro Tip: Try adding a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to the water, as this will further help the process of fat burning brilliantly!
We have our fridge stocked with most of these amazing potions already, and are ready to just carry them around with us, soaking in their amazing properties throughout the day! Hope you guys are ready to do the same! Here’s to a brilliant and healthy summer ahead!
