Fat cutter drink recipes for weight loss in a healthy manner

Weight gain is the bane of the present generation, be it youngsters or the elderly, each one is facing the issue of weight gain. The reasons for weight gain varies from person to person and age is also a major consideration. Fat cutter drinks will help you cut through the excessive fat in your body. The energy drinks will not only help you lose weight but also fight inflammation, boosts your immune system and enhance your digestive process.

The best part is you don’t have to spend an incredible amount. It can easily be made at home from things in your kitchen too.

For all those who aim at losing weight within ten days, this is not for you. But these drinks will help you lose weight in a couple of months in a healthier manner.

Here are some recipes for weight loss that you can make at home.

1. Mint-Coriander and Lemon Juice:


The first on my list as a fat cutter juice is the Lemon, Coriander and Mint Juice. Take some sprigs of coriander with the stalks, ten to twelve mint leaves and half a lemon. Grind the Coriander and Mint to a thin paste add warm water, salt and lemon juice consume it. Take this juice for a month and you will see the difference in your weight. The juice is beneficial for weight loss, good for anaemic and indigestion too. It also boosts up your metabolism.

2. Bottle Gourd Juice:


Cut half of a Bottle Gourd, remove the skin and cut it into cubes, add them in a mixer or juicer. Extract the juice and add some black pepper powder to the juice. Have it first thing in the morning for a month. The result will leave you pleasantly surprised. This juice is beneficial in treating high blood pressure, good for diabetics, treats ulcers, acidity and many more.

3. Tomato, Bitter Gourd and Cucumber Juice:


Cut tomato, bitter gourd(karela) and cucumber into pieces, add them in a mixer or juicer. Add some black pepper to it and have it once every two days for a month. Bitter Gourd removes toxins from the body, cucumber helps in removing waste from your stomach and tomato burns calories as it contains Vitamins, minerals and tons of Lycopene. Together the three accelerate the weight loss procedure.

4. Cinnamon Tea:


Take a stick of cinnamon to boil it in water till the colour turns brown. Have this tea instead of the regular Chai. You can add some honey to it for taste. Take this tea for twenty days for results. You can even replace the stick with some cinnamon powder. Take half teaspoon of powder to a glass of water boil it and have it when still warm. Take this twice a day. You can replace the honey with lemon juice. Do not consume more than one teaspoon cinnamon in a single day.

5. The Cellulite Buster:


Take a lemon, 2 limes, some pineapple 1 grapefruits, and a little Ginger. Peel the skin from the lemon, lime, grapefruit, and pineapple add ginger pieces and extract the juice. Pour them in a glass and consume it. This juice is a natural cellulite buster and fat cutter.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF BOTTLE GOURD / LAUKI

Bottle gourd  or lauki, as it is called, it is really versatile, with many health benefits.
  1. Bottle gourd keeps you hydrated and cool in summers: Bottle guard has always been regarded as one of the healthiest vegetables. This versatile vegetable is full of about 92 % water and minerals and is the best that nature can offer to keep your body hydrated and cool. It’s a good idea to have bottle gourd or ‘lauki’ as a juice because cooking deactivates the minerals and vitamins found in it. The juice keeps your stomach cool and reduces body heat or ‘pitta’. You can also eat boiled lauki with curd to get its cooling benefits. This vegetable helps replenish the water lost due to sweating during summers and is also a great remedy for any kind of heat-related ailment like nose bleeding, pimples or ulcers.
  2. Helps control weight: It helps control weight as it is packed with fibre which helps in keeping you full for longer, thus reducing food cravings that make you pile on the kilos. It is also a low-calorie vegetable with no fat and thus helps in weight loss.
  3.  Storehouse of essential vitamins and minerals: Bottle gourd contains essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, B, K, A, E, Iron, Folate, Potassium and Manganese. These play a critical role in metabolism and body functions.
  4. Treats urinary tract infections: Freshly made bottle guard juice mixed with lime juice is one of the best natural remedies for treating pesky UTIs.
  5. Cure for stomach problems: Bottle gourd helps in curing constipation and also treats diarrhea. This is due to the fact that the vegetable contains a lot of water and fibre which helps in cleaning your digestive track and allows easy bowel movement. One of the best home remedies for treating diarrhea is to drink bottle gourd juice with a pinch of salt. This helps in maintaining the electrolyte balance of your body, as well.
  6. Bottle gourd helps in controlling diabetes: Bottle gourd juice is also beneficial for diabetic patients as it stabilizes blood sugar levels and maintains optimum blood pressure. The best time to have it is in morning before breakfast to reap this benefit. Also, take care to consume the juice immediately as it oxidizes quite fast.
