There are many people who train hard to try to burn calories and lose fat, but many fail. In today's article, we want to share a little trick that can help you burn some extra calories and improve your chances of success.
Below we will show you how to make an excellent fat burner recipe with effective ingredients (proven by science) and extremely easy to obtain.
Thermogenic drink: Why?
Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that take place in our body, through which it is transformed into the food we eat, into the fuel we need to function (breathe, digest, move, etc).
The digestion, absorption, transport and storage of the food we eat, generates an energy expenditure (we burn calories) and fortunately, there are foods that have the property of generating a greater energy expenditure for these processes and therefore can help us to lose weight with only consume them.
This type of food and drink is known as thermogenic foods. For pre-training, we will choose a drink, as it will help you to be lighter, and allow you to burn even more fat. Let's see the list of ingredients, the benefits and obviously the preparation:
Fat burning recipe (pre-workout)
Although this recipe can be made both cold and hot, we will choose the cold version (practically freezing). Let's see the ingredients:
Green Tea
When we talk about losing weight, green tea is one of the star infusions. Among the properties of green tea, we must emphasize that there is enough evidence to say that: helps reduce abdominal fat and lose weight throughout your body, provides powerful anti-oxidants, allows you to stay alert and feel less tired.
In addition, it can help you improve your athletic performance. Thus, there is evidence that green tea can help to improve endurance through the stimulation of the use of fatty acids. The results of the research indicated that green tea delayed exhaustion by up to 24%.
Ginger
Keeping yourself sated for longer is one of the ways to consume fewer calories throughout the day. In 2012, a study was published that showed that a drink with 2 grams of hot ginger powder after a meal reduces feelings of hunger for up to six hours.
In the same study that discovered the satiating powers of ginger, there was an increase in the amount of calories your body uses to digest the food you eat. That is to say, consuming ginger after eating could help to elevate the thermal effect of the food.
In addition, ginger is tasty and has anti-inflammatory effects. Another good reason to consume it before training.
Lemon
The lemon is a citrus that will give the perfect flavor to our drink. In addition, other extremely beneficial properties: it helps with liver detoxification, cleanses the intestines, prevents colds and flu, is rich in nutrients and reduces blood sugar levels.
Preparation
The preparation of our thermogenic beverage will be very simple:
Place 2 bags of green tea in a cup and add almost boiling water. Let stand 5 minutes and remove the tea bags.
In a blender, add a glass of water, two ice cubeteras (provided your blender is suitable for crushing) and ginger (3 slices or a tablespoon if you use powder).
Then add the green tea and the juice of half a lemon.
To sweeten uses stevia or honey (keep in mind that the first does not provide calories and the second if).
