Want to lose two pounds a day without just a drink? Look no further than green tea and honey.
Green tea is popular for its weight management properties.
Not only does it increase metabolic rates but also burn fats through the help of caffeine and flavonoids.
It boosts the fat oxidation process and regulates the insulin in your body, resulting in the burning of calories.
Instead of your regular coffee, why not replace it with a much healthier green tea?
Many brands are available with various flavors like lemon, ginger, and lemongrass.
While green tea isn’t usually taken with sugar, you can still satisfy your sweet tooth by switching sugar with honey.
What can honey do?
For starters, honey in green tea improves digestion.
Sure, it has sugar but unlike white or refined sugar, honey has essential nutrients that help in overall fitness and health.
Meanwhile, white sugar only has empty calories, not to mention can lead to weight gain when consumed daily.
Green tea with honey is excellent at losing weight but sooner it will lose its appeal if there’s no variation.
Here are some beverage recipes that involve the use of green tea and honey but with other ingredients like ginger and more to be discussed next.
