There are several explanations for our weight gain. Stress, poor eating habits, insufficient sleep, excessive sedentary lifestyles, toxins from the environment, and hormone abnormalities can all contribute to this. It can be difficult to lose that stubborn belly fat, for whatever reason. Take a look at this weight loss tip for mornings.
Make this first thing in the morning before eating. Drink a full, 20 ounce glass of water. Drink it over the course of 5 or 10 minutes. After that, I take this homemade weight loss elixir. Try to use real ingredients if possible instead of the their processed counterparts.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup room temperature water
– Juice 1 lemon (I use a hand press from Crate & Barrel)
– 1 teaspoon Bragg’s raw apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon raw honey OR a couple drops of stevia
– 1/2 inch of fresh ginger root or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
(Use stevia if you are on yeast cleansing or low sugar diet)
NOTE:
If you feel ill or have chest tightness after drinking the morning lemon elixir, cut out the Bragg’s raw apple cider vinegar. This reaction can occur from the body’s releasing of bacteria and unwanted toxins. Continue to drink the lemon elixir, omitting the Bragg’s, for at least three days, and then try to re-introduce or use only ½ teaspoon of the apple cider vinegar. If the reactions continue upon reintroduction, continue to only drink the lemon water.
