How to Lose Weight Fast with Lemon, Ginger and Chia Seeds

By Lilias

When you want to lose weight, diet is the number one factor to consider. But when we talk about diet, we think almost exclusively of solids… But don’t forget that liquids are also very important. We remind you that your body is made up of about 70% water…

The effectiveness of this drink that helps you lose weight is found in its ingredients.
These promote the elimination of toxins, accelerate metabolism and fight against water retention. Remember that for weight loss to be effective, you need a balanced diet and, if possible, daily sports activity. Even if it is difficult for you, force yourself, for example, to walk for 30 minutes. This is the minimum for it to work properly…

Why ginger, lemon and chia?

Ginger

  • People who have a slow metabolism tend to gain weight more easily. Even if they exercise and adopt good lifestyle habits, they need a boost to lose weight. And that’s where ginger comes in.
  • This spice is one of the foods that have the ability to speed up metabolism, an essential factor to burn more calories. It also has the virtue of regulating blood glucose levels and controlling appetite naturally.

The lemon

  • Lemon is one of those slimming foods par excellence. In fact, it is a fruit with incredible purifying, alkalizing and antioxidant properties. It should therefore not be missing from any diet.
  • When we want to lose weight, lemon helps us digest and eliminate fat better, fights against fluid retention and gives us a feeling of satiety that prevents us from nibbling or snacking between meals.
  • The whole lemon can be used, both the pulp and the skin. It is therefore advisable to buy lemons from organic farming. This way you can be sure of their quality: without pesticides, wax or other chemical substances.

Chia seeds

  • Chia seeds are an ideal supplement for losing weight in a healthy way and for regulating intestinal function, whether we suffer from constipation or want to maintain a clean colon.
  • These small seeds help us reduce abdominal bloating by stimulating intestinal transit. In addition, they have many other beneficial properties, thanks to their antioxidant power and their protein and fiber content.
  • For these effects to appear in our body, we must always soak them in water for several hours before consuming them.
