How to prepare a weight loss drink?
To prepare the drink you need:
- 1 grapefruit (peel it in a way that leaves as much of the white flesh of the peel on it)
- 1 tablespoon of honey
Peel the grapefruit and put it in a blender along with the honey. Blend until you get a homogeneous liquid mixture.
Such a drink has a lot of pectin, which lowers the level of bad cholesterol in the blood and also reduces triglycerides. By lowering sugar, your metabolism will also be normalized. If you regularly consume grapefruits, you can reduce your cholesterol by 15% and triglycerides by up to 27%.
If you drink the concoction after a meal, it is the same as eating a meal with half the calories. Grapefruit with honey greatly stimulates the digestive system, so the weight loss effects are visible after just a few days of regular consumption.
