Lately there has been a surge of detox drinks in the market, drinks that hold the promise of a flat belly, photos of trim and tight little abs are all over instagram, of people literally drinking their way to a toned tummy in what appears to be a few days. Well – I am hear to tell you that I have tried a stack of these teas, tonics and beverages and I want to share some thoughts on them with you.
Does drinking detox beverages give you the magic you need to get rid of stubborn belly fat?
Ummmm -NO!
They absolutely can help you feel better, boost your digestion and in turn reduce bloating and fluid retention in a super short period of time – which all help in flattening down the bulge in your middle. But reduce belly fat…. No they will not.
Getting rid of belly fat is one of the toughest things to do and to be quite frank, it can be a painful process. I mean, you will have to make some effort. Losing bellyfat is in fact simple, but it is not easy!
Why is that?
You may have heard some leading fitness professionals say that you can’t spot reduce fat on your body…. And they say this because it is TRUE! No amount of working out your abs will help you with targeted fat loss on your belly, that’s not to say you should stop working out though, but understanding that what you eat is actually the biggest factor in you belly fat will help you have a chance at getting rid of it.
Toxins are stored in fat cells in our body, that is where our clever systems hide toxic waste that we ingest or produce. The more toxins we ingest, the more fat our body makes to store it. And that is where detox drinks come in – if you consider detox drinks to help you own bodies natural ability to detoxify and eliminate toxins from your blood and not to reduce fat, then you are on the right track. There is no specific drink that does wonders in fact, the perfect drink likely does not even exist. But there are several that WILL help you detox, which will help your belly bloat and digestion, which over time will help you lose weight and feel better!
Look for detox drinks that have simple, clean whole food ingredients. NO SUGARS! The shorter the list of ingredients – in my view, the better! Ingredients like ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, clove, cinnamon and even garlic!
One of points I am trying to make is although detox drinks can help you get a flatter belly, for actual long term fat loss they need to be combined with healthier habits and regular exercise in order for you to achieve your goals.
Which Detox drink is good for you?
You can choose to rely on any detox drinks to aid your body in the process of detoxifying.. However,some key things that any detox product should focus on is helping reduce inflammation, help boost energy, aid and support your digestive system, and cleanse the liver.You can choose any one and combine it with healthier habits such as – better food, clean green veggies and healthy fats, along with regular exercise is a good place to start. One of the most important things is not to give up. Creating better, healthier habits takes time and effort and requires you to stick to it for a time!
