Losing weight is a difficult, not to mention long, process. Some people engage in diet regimens, go to gyms and some just starve themselves but to no avail. Shedding the extra pounds need just the right amount of exercise, balanced diet, determination and effort in order for it to work. But there are also times when you need to get rid of the damaging toxins, free radicals and substances in your body in order to burn fats effectively and boost your metabolism. This process is called detoxification or in other term, cleansing.

Detoxification helps in removing the toxins brought by processed and inorganic foods from our body. With this, losing weight and burning fats can be done in a safe and natural way. However, before switching to detox diet, you need to make sure that you are healthy and your body can handle it. Otherwise, your efforts will be wasted. There are detox drinks for weight loss that you can easily make in the comforts of your own home. What more can you ask for? They’re cheap and 100% natural.

Here are seven detox drinks you can try:

1. Tea

Tea is drunk by most people every day. It is a natural detoxifying agent that helps in eliminating toxins from the body. Not all forms of tea are effective for weight loss. Only few such as dandelion tea, peppermint tea, ginger tea and green tea are especially effective if you want to lose weight. Drink as much as three to five cups a day for best results.

2. Salt Water Cleanse

Before starting your detox process, try cleansing your digestive tract with the salt water cleanse in order to prepare your body for detoxification and weight loss. Infuse 1 quart of lukewarm water with 1 to 2 tablespoons of sea salt. Stir until it dissolves, drink and relax. Make sure you do this at home where you can go to the comfort room anytime as it can be quickly dispelled from the body.

3. Cranberry Juice

Cranberry juice can enhance and boost the body’s metabolism. This is vital so that the fats will be burned and converted into energy instead of stored in the body and makes you gain excess weight. This detox drink is very effective when trying to lose weight as well as cleaning the body from alcohol and nicotine in just four days. Drink the 100% natural cranberry juice every day in approximately 32 ounces for optimum results.

4. Lemonade Cleanse

One of the most popular detox drinks for weight loss is lemonade cleanse. Celebrities have used this kind of detox agent as it is very effective and it doubles its purpose by improving the skin complexion. Mix lemon juice, a dash of cayenne pepper and maple syrup with water and sip all day for rapid weight loss.

5. Cucumber and Lemon

The effects of cucumber and lemon on weight loss were tested and proven by experts. Blend 1 cucumber sliced into pieces with half a lemon juice. Drink this concoction two times a day to boost your metabolism.

6. Cabbage Juice

Cabbage Juice is best used in cleansing the liver. Cleansing the liver means cleaning your body. This is essential for effective weight loss. To create the detox drink, blend cabbage with some pears and carrots.

7. Cabbage Broth

To have a different style in detox drinks, simmer cabbage with other vegetables such as onions and carrots. The more vegetables, the better. The broth will hold more nutrients and is very beneficial for the body.
