Want a Flatter Belly? More Energy? Drink This

Sadly, there’s no weight loss pill…yet. For now, we have to resort to exercise and healthy eating and drinking. This list is inspired by the results from the book, ‘The 7-Day Tea Cleanse’ by the team at Eat This, Not That! The test panelists lost up to 4 inches from their waist. They researched this list of the best fat-blasting drinks.

From tea to coffee to smoothies to alcohol, these are the best drinks to sip on if you’re working on losing some extra belly fat.

Cold Brew Coffee

DRINK THIS: Cold-brewed coffee

WHY: It has the benefits of hot coffee, but it’s less bitter, so you don’t need to add sugar (which means fewer calories!)

When regular brewed coffee is chilled and stored, two things happen: it begins to lose its taste, and it loses the polyphenols that give coffee its health benefits. So, the best iced coffee is cold brewed. It takes more time to make, and it’s more expensive, but you’ll taste the difference.

It’s less bitter, which means you can get away with adding less sugar. And less sugar means fewer calories. So if you want to start your morning off right, cold brew coffee and light breakfast is the perfect morning for a great week.
