The Ultimate Detox and Weight Loss Secret

Detox water is a good healthy solution to activate your digestive system. For this reason I am sharing the ultimate secret to weight loss using 6 detox water recipes to flatten your belly and get you ready for the summer! You can replace your regular drinking water with detox water as you keep hydrated throughout the day.

We have been told to drink at least 2 liters of water per day, which most of us usually find hard to achieve. The good news is that these yummy recipes will probably help you drink even more water! Try to let the mix sit overnight or at least 15 minutes prior consumption; and, replace fruits after 2-3 refills to make sure you optimize their benefits.

Weight loss and fat loss require a big-time commitment, a strong focus, many sacrifices, an excellent work ethic, and a lot of mental strength. But the great thing about weight loss is that it is attainable, measurable, and very rewarding, especially if you do it as a team effort. You need to know this before starting, so you don’t give up before reaching your goals. Combine the following recipes this summer, they are great conversation starters!


1 - Flat Belly Detox Water Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 24 ounces of ice cold water
  • Slices of fresh cucumber
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • ½ sliced lemon
  • ¼ sliced orange

This is a good water to drink in the mornings with an empty stomach to power up your immune system, eliminate toxins and keep a gorgeous skin.

 2 - Craving Control Detox Water Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 24 ounces of ice cold water
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • 1 strawberry sliced
  • ½ sliced lemon
  • ¼ tsp of cinnamon
  • ¼ sliced apple

This detox water will help you burn fat even when you are sitting down! Lemon, apple and cinnamon helps you speed up your metabolism, which makes it easier to burn fat.

3 - Daily Cleansing Detox Water Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1-2 liters of ice cold water (depends on how strong you want it to taste)
  • Slices of watermelon and cucumber
  • 1 lime or lemon
  • Fresh mint leaves (approximately 10-13)

One cup of watermelon will provide  1 gram of fiber, 17% of vitamin A, 21% of vitamin C, 2% of iron and 1% of calcium needs for the day. Watermelon also contains thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, choline, lycopene and betaine. Great for your skin, lower blood pressure, and avoid constipation.


4 - Chia Water Detox

 Ingredients:
  • 1 glass of water
  • 1 spoon of chia
  • 1 tsp of lemon

Chia seeds are gluten/grain free naturally - they are great for preventing dehydration during exercise or exposure to heat. One tablespoon of Chia Seeds has more calcium than a glass of milk, more Omega-3s than Salmon, and more antioxidants than blueberries. They also give you tons of energy but also won’t keep you awake at night. Chia seeds are supposed to be a great for weight loss, because they can absorb many times their size/weight in liquid.

5 - Water Stress Reduction

Ingredients:
  • 1 liter of cold water
  • 8 sliced strawberries 
  • 1 lemon or lime
  • Half sliced cucumber
  • Fresh mint leaves (approximately 10 – 15)

Mint helps calm down the nervous system, and lemon energizes the digestive system, while the strawberry and cucumber add a yummy fresh flavor to the water.

6 - Homemade Coconut Detox Water

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of water
  • ½ cup of coconut water
  • 2 tsp of lemon
  • 2 tsp of aloe juice

This water helps regulate the digestive system, get rid of toxins, and lower inflammation. Your skin and hair will look bright and hydrated!

Leading from the inside out has been one of the most successful ways I have found to achieve healthy habits. Seeing the body as the most valuable powerhouse motivates me and my clients to find ways to improve diet and put more thought into how to positively achieve a healthy routine. Below is a summarized list of benefits. Each body is different, so ask your doctor/nutritionist for more information about the recipes that will benefit your body the most.

  • Mint promotes easy digestion and soothes stomach cramps.
  • Cucumbers have many anti-inflammatory properties and prevent water retention. They also help the body to flush out toxins because cucumbers contain the organic compound citrulline.
  • The juice of the orange stimulates the immune system and reduces cholesterol levels.
  • Lemon (or lime) helps with constipation by regulating and stimulating the digestive track. It clears out the digestive system providing the cleansing effect of citric acid. It stimulates bile production and thins out bile, which allows it to [something missing] down fats that we’ve consumed. Most important, lemon helps you alkalize your body, lowering its acid.
  • Strawberries contain anti-aging properties and help fight carcinogens.
  • Apples have so many benefits: repairing and maintaining teeth and bones; helping to heal wounds quickly.
  • Cinnamon manages blood sugar levels. This reduces sugar cravings so you eat less and can control your calorie intake.
  • Watermelon contains the organic compound citrulline, which helps the body flush out toxins.



Once you finish drinking all the water, you can eat the fruit. You can also prepare the above recipes in ice cubes; just make sure to use them within a week to preserve their benefits.

Self-leadership entails being the person you envision being, long before you think it most likely. In my integrated coaching practice, I work with numerous men and women who are hoping to find a purpose in their lives. Those who already know their purpose may need support on keeping their word, managing a healthy discipline and keeping up their motivation and focus. One way to access this aspiration is to envision specifically what it is we want. I hope the above recipes help you plan your work and motivate you to work your plan. Each recipe takes less than 10 minutes to prepare -- and that 10 minutes prepares you for a great day, a great life.
