5 Drinks That Block & Flush Belly Fat

Fat deposits that form on the body can be tough to break down and eliminate. Fat is broken down when the body uses its fat deposits to produce energy and the triglycerides in the fat cells are removed. These triglycerides are broken down into fatty acids and glycerols and then absorbed into your muscle tissue and internal organs, where they are then broken down even further through various chemical processes. If the products left over from these chemical processes are not used by the body as energy, they are then considered waste products and need to be removed from the body. This is where water comes into play.

Water is the vehicle used to remove these waste products from the body. The leftover materials from the fat breakdown are then filtered out of your organs by the water that you drink. The water carries the waste to your bladder, where it is then expelled from your body through your urine. It is important to drink enough water each day to keep yourself hydrated and facilitate the breakdown and elimination of fat cells.

Here are some of the original fat flush water recipes to literally flush fat from your system down the drain.

1.) CCP Juice 

Ingredients:
1 Stalk Celery
1 Cucumber
1/4 cup parsley
1/2 cup water

How it Works: CCP simply stands for celery, cucumber and parsley juice.  Cucumber is abundant in water and fiber, with fewer calories than most juices and sodas.
Parsley is well-known for its moderate diuretic qualities and high mineral and vitamin content. And celery contains antioxidants that help to fight cellular damage caused by free radicals. Therefore, it can be used to prevent early aging and reduce the risk for chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and gout.

Furthermore, celery has a neutral flavor and is easily added to various detox juice recipes that detoxify, promote weight loss and reduce inflammation. It can be combined with other diuretic and thermogenic foods, such as watermelon, cinnamon and ginger to further improve its taste.

Still, celery juice may aid weight loss if you’re drinking it instead of high-calorie beverages. What’s more, it may help reduce inflammation and blood pressure.

This trifecta of nutrient-dense foods promote weight loss you will be able to see after 7 days.

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a juicer or blender and blend until smooth and watery. If drink has too much pulp simply add more water to thin it out. Drink quickly after blending, especially if you’re craving a heavy or greasy meal–this will help.

2.) Grapefruit Fat Flush Water

Ingredients:
2 Liters (64 oz.) Purified Water
1 Tangerine, sectioned
1/2 Grapefruit, sliced
1 Cucumber, sliced
4 Peppermint or Spearmint Leaves
Ice (made from purified water) optional

Directions: Mix in a pitcher before bed and drink throughout the entire next day. Please consider using organic produce for this. If it is unavailable to you, thoroughly wash the produce before adding it to the water.

How It Works: The tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes blood sugar, and, because it is high in vitamin C, increases fat burned during exercise. Tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes blood sugar, and stimulates genes to burn fat.

The grapefruit will increase your metabolism and energy, and burn fat.
The cucumber helps you to feel more full and acts is a natural diuretic, which means less bloating and water retention.

The mint leaves help with digestion.

3.) Cinnamon Fat Flush Water

Ingredients:
2 grapefruits
1 lemon
8 mint leaves
8 basil leaves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 liter water

Directions: Squeeze 2 grapefruits and half a lemon and mix this with the chopped mint and basil. Let it stay for 30 minutes. Then add the water, the cinnamon, and slice the other half of the lemon. Stir well and keep it in the fridge before consuming it. Drink this during the evening period and make sure the last glass you consume 1 hour before going to bed if you want to get the best results. Drink this for 7 days in a row. If necessary repeat for 5-7 days more after making a 2 days break. The results are really incredible. The only think you should be aware of is that it is not allowed to eat or drink anything else during the evening period.

How It Works: Cinnamon can also increase insulin sensitivity, which essentially means that it is helping your body to control blood sugar while simultaneously allowing your body to produce less insulin.

Including cinnamon into your diet on a regular basis will help you to control blood sugar and insulin response from your meals and thereby control your appetite and cravings throughout the day hence, helping you to lose body fat more effectively over time.

Mint-basil duo help you increase metabolic rate and help you prevent build up of toxins. They make digestion better, prevent constipation and help with flatulence.

This drink reduces your food cravings and gives you the feeling of satiety so that you don’t feel hungry all the time. It might be a little bit difficult the first 2 days to avoid eating in the evening, but don’t give up! Be persistent and you will get an amazing detox and fat burning effect.

Try to keep drinking water consistently throughout the day and consider water before soda, fruit juices, or other sugary drinks, as these can actually dehydrate your body even more. Often a lack of energy and even headaches throughout the day are simply symptoms of mild dehydration. It is a good idea to make a conscious effort to drink more water. A little extra is definitely better than not enough!

Jeera seeds
2 cups of water

5.) Original Fat Flush Water

Ingredients:
1 ounce 100% pure unsweetened cranberry juice
7 ounces water
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions: Mix water and unsweetened cranberry juice together in a large glass. The key is to make sure that it’s pure, unfiltered, unsweetened, natural cranberry. To save time during the day, mix a full batch (64 ounces) in the morning — add 1 cup (8 oz) cranberry juice to a half-gallon container and fill the rest with water.

How It Works: I know it sounds simple, but it works! The original fat flush water is sometimes known as “red water” because of the color the cranberry juice gives it. Cranberry juice is a natural diuretic and packed with flavonoids, enzymes, and organic acids such as malic acid, citric acid, and quinic acid which have an emulsifying effect on stubborn fat deposits in the lymphatic system. With the help of the organic acid components, cranberry juice digests stagnated lymphatic wastes. Even if you’re not following a specific diet or trying to lost weight, you can sip this tart and refreshing beverage daily to help flush out water weight, balance blood sugar, improve cellulite, and keep your liver and lymph in optimum cleansing mode. This recipe is an adaptation of Fat Flush Creator’s (Ann Louise Gittleman) original recipe.
