Weight loss drink with blueberries

The needed ingredients:

-1 cup of 100% blueberry juice

-1/2 coffee spoon of cinnamon

-1/4 coffee spoon of ginger

-At last you will need the juice of 3-4 oranges and 1-2 lemons to add to the mixture

Preparation:

The preparation of this recipe is really fast and simple, and that's what I like about it. I do not like to put a lot of effort in cooking or baking. I would rather do something else, but I want to eat and drink in the best way possible. That's why recipes like this get included in my eating habits. Just add the cinnamon and ginger to the blueberry juice. Then add the orange and lemon juice. You can add ice cubes if you prefer. Enjoy! :)

Blueberries cancer fighting properties are legendary, because of their ability to block metabolic pathways that can lead to the initiation and promotion of cancer. Both diarrhea and constipation can be relieved with this super-fruit. Blueberries provide safety form the bacteria that cause food borne illnesses and are known to be terrific anti-depressants and mood elevators.

Already known as a 'superfood' because of their high vitamin and antioxidant content, the blueberries may also have the power to burn excess fat from our bodies. The effect is thought to be due to the high level of phytochemicals (naturally occurring antioxidants) in them and the fat loss effects are even better accompanied by a low calorie diet.

Be aware that heat is a destroyer of the antioxidant potential of blueberries, making canned or other processed berries a poor choice. Also, do not use blueberries associated with milk. It is scientifically proven that if you are consuming blueberries with milk, there will not be any increase in plasma antioxidant capacity.

Stay well and eat healthy.

1200 calorie diet plan

A healthy eating plan gives your body the nutrients it needs every day while staying within your daily calorie goal for weight loss. A healthy eating plan also will lower your risk for heart disease and other health conditions. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products. This diet plan also includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts and is low in saturated fats, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars, controls portion sizes and calories.

To lose weight, most people need to reduce the number of calories they get from food and beverages (energy IN) and increase their physical activity (energy OUT).

For a weight loss of 1–2 pounds per week, daily intake should be reduced by 500 to 1,000 calories.

In general:

Eating plans that contain 1,000–1,200 calories each day will help most women lose weight safely.

Eating plans that contain 1,200–1,600 calories each day are suitable for men and also may be appropriate for women who weigh 165 pounds or more or who exercise regularly.

If you eat 1,600 calories a day but do not lose weight, then you may want to cut back to 1,200 calories. If you are hungry on either diet, then you may want to boost your calories by 100 to 200 per day. Very low calorie diets of fewer than 800 calories per day should not be used unless you are being monitored by your doctor.
