A smaller waistline is something that most of us aspire to. And while watching what you eat helps a great deal, have you ever given much thought to what you drink too? Surprisingly, there are a number of drinks that can help you control your weight - all of which are recommended by nutritional experts, who swear by their ability to reduce belly fat. Let's take a look at 8 of them. |
Coffee Caffeine is another way to suppress your appetite. It can boost your metabolism too enabling you to burn more fat. If you're having coffee for the sole purpose of losing weight, two cups a day should help you reach your goal. |
Vegetable Juice Drinking vegetable juice before a meal is enough to make you feel satisfied. In fact, research conducted by the Pennsylvania State University has found that drinking vegetable juice before a meal will have you eating 135 less calories on average. |
Cold Water When trying to lose a couple of inches around your waist, water should be your number one go-to drink - cold water in particular, as its cool temperature encourages the body to burn more calories. The body works to increase the temperature of the water so that they are equal. |

Whey Protein Consuming whey on a regular basis contributes to weight loss due to the Cholecystokinin hormone that effectively suppresses appetite. It also makes you feel full and is an excellent drink for anyone with diabetes as it regulates blood sugar levels and insulin. |
Smoothie with Yogurt Smoothies are a great way to suppress your appetite, keeping you from snacking between meals. For a healthier alternative, opt for Greek yogurt and add some fruit and whey protein too. Yogurt is an essential source of calcium, an important mineral if you are trying to lose weight. |
Pineapple Frappe For a refreshing drink, this pineapple frappe will not disappoint. This blended beverage also contains bromelain - an enzyme that can promote protein digestion and get rid of bloating. Pineapple frappe also contains monounsaturated fatty acids in the form of flaxseed oil, which is proven to be a fat burner. |
Green Tea Drinking up to 8 cups of tea per day can help shed 43 percent of fat in just one week. Moreover, green tea has a high content of antioxidants which can contribute to burning fat and stimulating the metabolism. |
Skim Milk Contrary to popular belief, milk does not promote weight gain. Studies have shown that drinking skim milk can actually lead to weight loss, due to its high calcium content, which has been shown to burn fat. |
