Contrary to popular belief, bananas should not be consumed if you want to lose weight. This is because they contain fiber, which speeds up metabolism; potassium, which aids in the body's elimination of excess water; and spinach and flaxseed, which are actual invaders of unwanted fat deposits.
Potassium, which is abundant in bananas and only found in one banana at 450 mg per serving, aids in the body's removal of excess water. In addition, natural sugars like fructose, sucrose, and glucose are excellent sources of energy for our bodies. Eating bananas also helps curb the urge to snack, which frequently results in poor calorie intake that causes fat deposits. Finally, the abundant plant fibers in bananas are essential for boosting metabolism.
The banana is the base of these diet drinks to which you should add some other natural fat “melters” such as flaxseed, berries and spinach, which among other things give the body all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
BANANA WITH FLAXSEED FAT MELTING DRINK
- 1 orange
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons curd
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed
BANANA WITH BERRIES FAT MELTING DRINK
- 1 banana
- 1 cup blueberries, raspberries or blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- half a cup of lukewarm water
BANANA AND SPINACH FAT MELTING DRINK
- 1 banana
- 7 oz fresh spinach
- half cup of light yogurt
- three cups of ground cereals
- 1 tablespoon honey
The preparation of these drinks is the same for all three; you only need to add the ingredients in a blender and mix. These fat burning, but primarily healthy drinks, are to be consumed as breakfast in the morning since at that time of the day the body best absorbs the ingredients, which in this case will make a real invasion of the fat cushions deposited around the waist and abdomen.
