Sassy Water

From LoveToKnow Diet

Sassy water is an integral part of the Flat Belly Diet weight loss program. The diet offers a unique spin on weight reduction because it focuses on using healthy fats to rid the body of accumulated fat. Water is an important part of the process.

Water and Weight Loss

The connection between drinking water and weight loss is well documented but many know how difficult it can be to get motivated to drink enough on a regular basis. Sassy water is a great recipe that encourages and motivates people to drink their water which in turn relieves the body of excess bloat.

Sassy Water Recipe

The Flat Belly Diet is similar to countless other weight reduction programs that encourage dieters to drink clear, calorie-free liquids. This rids the body of excess fluid and toxins stored in the body while re-hydrating the cells in the process. Sassy water is named after Cynthia Sass, the nutrition director for Prevention Magazine who developed the recipe.

The specific ingredients and portions for sassy water are available in the Flat Belly Diet book. The drink is helpful in promoting weight loss in a refreshing recipe. Relieving bloat is among the most prominent benefits of drinking the sassy mixture.

Types of Water

The book outlines the basic ingredients of the weight-loss drink recipe. Water is the very first item on the list. The authors do not specify whether the water should be distilled, purified, or enhanced with minerals. Some assert that distilled drinking water is ideal for weight loss, while others warn that distilled water is dangerous. The type of clear beverage you select may be determined with your physician's guidance.

Ginger

Ginger is one of the most impressive ingredients in the recipe because it offers wonderful aroma, flavor, and health benefits. Proponents of the Flat Belly Diet suggest that ginger is a helpful ingredient because it soothes and calms the GI tract. The root is believed to help ease constipation and improve digestion.

Lemon

Water with lemon is excellent for weight loss. The lemon is a natural diuretic and it is an alkaline food that promotes proper pH balance.

Cucumber

Cucumber is a popular choice for weight loss programs because it is nutritious and because of its diuretic qualities. The vegetable contains the protein-digesting enzyme, erepsin. Cucumbers are thought to help kidney function. The body removes fat through urine, not stool. Proper kidney function is essential in healthy weight loss.

Mint

Mint leaves are well known for their stomach-soothing qualities. The leaves are beneficial in that they aid digestion effectively. Some suggest that simply sniffing peppermint can promote weight loss.

Maximizing Your Results

Sassy water is as much about mental preparation as it is about optimal weight loss. The ingredients are naturally refreshing, and preparing the concoction on a daily basis gives dieters time to reflect on their endeavors. The aroma is crisp, reminiscent of a spa-like atmosphere. The process of preparing the weight loss beverage is almost as rewarding as drinking it.

Drinking eight to ten glasses of water every day is challenging but you can take steps to make the goal attainable. Some people benefit from drinking small portions throughout the day. For example, drinking four ounces every 30 minutes starting at 8:00 in the morning is a great way to reach the goal before evening.

Give yourself time to adjust to the beverage. The Flat Belly Diet requires participants to cut out coffee during the initial four days. Coffee can irritate the GI tract and it can cause bloating. The Sassy drink is a soothing agent that reduces bloat and removes toxins, but the body may experience caffeine withdrawals in the process.

Keep It Cool

Maximize your results by keeping the mixture ice cold. The body uses roughly 70 calories to process eight glasses of ice water. This is a practically effortless way to burn a few extra calories throughout the day.

Create a Rewarding Routine

The authors of the Flat Belly Diet book make excellent suggestions to help readers maximize the diet's potential, including the sassy drink. The writers suggest that you drink the beverage out of your favorite glass. Some may choose their favorite crystal or a stunning champagne flute. The idea is to reinforce the idea that the weight loss recipe is rewarding and should be enjoyed to the fullest.
