To shift fat and release toxins, you need to drink LOTS of liquids, such as green tea, still water or detoxifying juices. It is also a good idea to minimize your exposure to toxins, such as not using cans that are lined with bisphenol-A, extreme emotions, plastics, chronic stress, and allergens.
Here is a scrumptious detoxifying juice recipe that stimulates fat metabolism, cleanses the lymphatic system, and shifts retained fluids. Enjoy it on an empty stomach.
Ingredients
- 1 Apple or Pear
- 2 Celery Sticks
- 6 Mint Leaves
- 1 Grapefruit
If you don’t have mint or grapefruit handy, you can use pure essential oils, as they have the same (if not more) potency than the actual fruit.
