4 HOMEMADE DETOX DRINKS – IDEAL FOR A FLAT BELLY


Here are 4 of our favorite Detox Vitamin Water Recipes:
1. Orange, Lemon, Mint and Cucumber Detox Drink:
– 24 ounce ice cold water
– Sliced cucumber
– Mint leaves
– Half of a lemon
– Quarter of an orange
Orange juice reduces cholesterol levels and strengthens the immune system. Cucumbers cause more urination, thus preventing water retention and they also have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Lemon contains citric acid which is helpful in cleansing of the body. Mint leaves are very beneficial to the digestive system and also neutralize stomach cramps. You can even raise the input of some fruits to optimize the benefits they provide.
2. Green Tea with Ginger Detox Drink:
– 3 cup water, 3-inch ginger root, peeled and grated, then bring it to a boil and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
– steep 3 green tea bags for 4 minutes in the ginger tea. Discard the teabags and drink while warm. Sweeten if desired with 2 teaspoon honey.
For a cold drink, simply add ice and enjoy!
Green tea is a treasure trove of nutrients that help brain activity and lower cancer risk. Plus, green tea reduces the absorption of fat from the foods that we eat. Combine it with the nutrients and detoxifying benefits of ginger and you’ve got a delicious, healthy, and fat-reducing drink all-in-one.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar Mint Detox Drink:


– 24 oz. water
– 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
– 1/2 apple
– 1/2 lemon, preferably organic as the peel is included
– ½ large pink grapefruit
– 5-6 Mint leaves
Apples are a great way to get fiber, which helps to keep you feeling full and keeps your body regular. Lemons are rich in vitamin C to help skin look its’ best– not only is vitamin C a potent antioxidant to help fight free radical damage, but it also assists in collagen formation. We like to think of mint as a peace maker in the body. It eases indigestion and calms the stomach, likely by improving the flow of bile through the stomach, which helps to speed and ease digestion.
4. Mango, Lemon and Pineapple Detox Drink:
– ½ cup chopped cubes of mango and pineapple, a few slice of lemon and water. Mix all ingredients and serve.
Pineapples and mangoes are known as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents and reduce bloating.
Drink this excellent tonics throughout the day. The key moments will be after every meal: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But, it’s best to drink it throughout the day.
It is delicious when it is fresh and if you pair it with a proper, low fat diet and exercises, you will get that flat stomach in no time.

Melt The Excess FAT And FLUSH Pounds of Toxins With This 3 Juice Colon Cleanse

Do you have troubles sleeping and wake up in the middle of the night?
It makes you feel awful if it occurs night after night and also, it is not good for you.
Fortunately, there are three ingredients you can use to prepare this “magic mixture” and set your way to a good night’s sleep.

SWALLOW THIS, FALL ASLEEP ALMOST INSTANTLY, STAY ASLEEP, AND WAKE UP REFRESHED

Needed ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon of raw honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
These three ingredients help your body be sustained throughout the night. The mixture also lowers the impact of spikes in stress hormones or cortisol, which can make you wake up in the middle of the night.


How to prepare and use the mixture?
You need to take the three ingredients before going to bed.
1st option:
Mix the coconut oil and raw honey in a bowl and add some sea salt in it. Then mix all ingredients. Take the mixture with a spoon and swallow. Then, chase with water.
2nd option:
Take the coconut oil, raw honey separately and chase with water. Then, you can add the sea salt in a small cup of water and drink it.
If you wake up in the middle of the night, take the mixture again and you will fall back asleep easier, in around half an hour or less.
Why this mixture helps?
Coconut’s fat gives energy to your body throughout the night. Consuming it before going to bed prevents waking up hungry. Also, it prevents increasing the blood sugar, which often leads to sleeping problems.
Honey doesn’t increase your blood sugar, but helps you sleep better. It offers an adequate amount of storage of liver glycogen for the brain. When there isn’t enough liver glycogen to provide energy for the brain, the adrenal glands drain more stress hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. High amounts of these stress hormones can lead to problematic sleeping.
Salt is another helpful ingredient before heading to bed because it aids in lowering the stress hormones as well. This ingredient helps the production of energy, so your body’s energy will be sustained during the night. Adequate sodium in the blood reduces the drain of adrenaline or cortisol.

Amazing Tip For Long Lashes – DIY

I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m lazy. There are days when I’m so motivated to eat healthy and workout. But to be totally honest, most days I just don’t feel like doing anything at all. That’s why I love lazy girl hacks! I do some of these things all the time and some of them only when I notice my pants are getting snug (yeah, I know I should do them before I get to that point lol). I told you I was lazy.


11 Lazy Girl Hacks That Will Help You Lose Weight Fast


 It’s okay if you don’t do all of these things 100%. Just do what you can. Have a lot of weight to lose and feel like you never will because you don’t have the determination? I promise you can put these simple hacks into action. Will you lose 50 pounds overnight? No. But three months from now you can either look in the mirror and see you weigh the same (or have put on more weight) or you can lose 20-30 pounds from just making these small adjustments to your life.




1.Don’t drink your calories



The average American drinks 400 calories a day. That’s a ton of empty calories that are making us fat! Think of it like this next time you reach for a sugar filled drink. If you drink water instead (which has zero calories btw) you can feel better about eating some sweets later! You can also add some fruit to your water to add some flavor.

2.Avoid packaged & fast food



Processed food is usually loaded with calories and is the biggest reasons why obesity is an epidemic in America. It’s just so convenient! If you’re stopping by McDonald’s every day on your lunch break, try packing your lunch instead. The pounds will melt away and you will also see a hefty increase in your finances. Double win.

3.Use a water bottle tracker



And carry it with you everywhere! Yes, drinking water is hard to do at first. But guess what? Your body will start to crave it after about a week. So water bottle trackers are great especially when you’re first starting out.

4.Always have tortillas, lean meat, and veggies on hand



I heard this somewhere a while back and thought it was the greatest idea ever! Cook some meat to have prepped for a couple of days and you can store it your fridge. So you can just throw the meat and veggies in a skillet. It’s so quick and easy. Plus lean meats and veggies are great for helping you lose weight. I like to use the tortillas from Walmart that are high protein, low carb, and only 50 calories each.

5.Use small bowls and plates



Portion control is so important! It’s so easy to over eat. That’s why using smaller containers is so helpful. When you use a big plate, you naturally want to fill it up but that is certainly not doing you any favors. Trick your mind into thinking your eating more. Also, try slowing down a bit when you eat. It takes a while for your brain to realize it’s full.


6.Prep meals ahead



Prepping your meals ahead of time can seem like a lot of work but think of it this way. You actually only need to cook once every four days, rather than daily. Get some containers and your meals will stay good in the fridge for at least four days (some people push it farther). It’s easy to just go out and grab some fast food when we get hungry so these are perfect for just sticking in the microwave real quick.

7.Do a short workout, don’t overwhelm yourself



We all know the endless benefits we can experience from getting daily exercise, but we still struggle to find the time (or motivation) to actually get to it sometimes. Short workouts are perfect for when you’re new to working out or when you’re just feeling lazy. It’s better to take baby steps than no steps at all. 

8.Limit your sitting time



We sit in the car, when we’re watching TV, playing on the computer, eating, the list goes on. Just being mindful about how often we’re sitting can help us to lose weight. Well, that and doing something about it. Taking breaks during commercials to do some squats or sit ups will do wonders for helping you shed those unwanted pounds.

9.Grab and go snacks



Get two decent sized rectangle containers and fill them with healthy snacks. You can put one in the fridge and one in your pantry. Cheese sticks, beef jerky, nut mixes, and fruits/veggies (dried is good too) are some great options. It’s also really good to always keep some of these with you all the time so you don’t have a freak out session and stop at the gas station for a candy bar.
I don’t know about you but when I get hungry I want really unhealthy stuff for some reason. Having snacks with me keeps me from getting too hungry and making bad choices.

10.Chug a 8 oz. glass of water before every meal



This was something I learned while I was in the military. The reason behind it was to keep the troops hydrated, not to lose weight but drinking water before you eat fills you up. Water helps you to lose weight and so does eating less. Perfect combination don’t you think?

11. Don’t be too hard on yourself

I think this is where most of us fail. We have bad days and mess up, then we feel like failures and this causes us to actually fail. Remember, some progress is better than no progress at all. Just start small and work your way up. Don’t feel like you have to do everything on this list right now. Get some grab and go snacks this week and next week start prepping meals.
Whatever it takes. If you have the motivation to do everything, then by all means, go for it. But don’t get down on yourself if you skip your daily workout or drink a soda.


11 Lazy Girl Hacks That Will Help You Lose Weight Fast


The Biggest Loser is one of the most popular reality shows on television, and the weight loss transformations are what has viewers turning season after season.

 With so many people trying to lose weight, it’s no surprise that viewers of the show might wonder “How exactly do they lose weight so fast!”. It’s obvious to see that exercise plays a huge part of losing weight on the show. But with exercise there is only so many calories you can burn in a single day or week. So there also has to be another source of weight loss. Again diet plays an important role in weight loss, and the Biggest Loser contestants have great nutritional advice as well. But there is something the producers have been keeping under wraps in a serious way.

A former finalist of the show who requests to stay anonymous said that the contestants were drinking a proprietary detox drink recipe at nearly every meal. The contestant was quoted as saying “They had us drinking the stuff constantly…..we’d get pretty sick of it since it’s practically all we’d drink….But I swear by that stuff I wouldn’t have come even close without drinking it” the contestant went on to describe how taking a break from the drink almost got them kicked off the show. “One week early on in the show I decided to take a break from the drink because I was just plain tired of it you know? My trainer was pretty upset about it and the producers told me that I really should be drinking it….I didn’t follow the instructions and when I weighed in that week I had my lowest weigh in yet. I wasn’t working out any less hard and nothing changed in my diet other than this drink….I was a believer after that.




I sucked it up and no matter how tired of it I was I kept drinking it all the way until the finale”. Now viewers of the show most certainly would want to know what this drink is and why it hasn’t been shared on the show yet. Well sources say that producers have been very protective of the recipe. Even trainer Jillian Michaels was banned from ever sharing this recipe after she left the show. Producers were so afraid that another weight loss show would utilize the drink that it became one of the Biggest Losers Biggest Secrets. It wasn’t until recently when our unnamed contestant shared the secret recipe with us. “I thought it was important people know one of the biggest secrets to my weight loss…I hope I don’t get in trouble with the shows producers but this is the drink recipe”

“You brew one cup of green tea, the better quality of green tea the better. Make sure you brew the green tea as strong as you can. The drinks we used to make started off with the darkest tea drink you can get. Then you add in 1 tablespoon of cranberry juice, the sugar free kind. Mix the juice in and it will get sort of a dark brown color to it. Then add one tea spoon of powdered cinnamon, and mix it into the drink. Add a small pinch of cayenne pepper, I would try to put as much as tolerable. Then squeeze a half of a fresh lemon into the drink. They always stressed that we use fresh lemons rather than pre-juiced. We would either drink this hot or refrigerate the drink and have it cold”

The secret Biggest Loser Finalist suggests that the viewers have the drink three times per day with each meal if possible or start slower and slowly incorporate it into more meals as you get used to it.
