    Can't flush fat away. But there's no harm in drinking the water. Sounds tasty.

    Vitamin C is the secret to burning fat in citrus fruits. This is because the vitamin C reduces fat’s effectiveness and can dilute the fat so that it exits the body.

    Good sources of vitamin C citrus fruits include grapefruits, oranges, limes and lemons just to name a few.


    Try to get three servings of fruits a day and make some of these citrus fruits.

    There are many veggies high in vitamin C that will also give you the same fat burning benefits. These vegetables include broccoli, cabbage and celery. Veggies also offer high fiber content which is also beneficial in weight loss.


    ______________________
    Research Study
    In a study performed at San Diego's Scripps Clinic, three groups of overweight ate the same meals. One group had grapefruit before meals, one had grapefruit juice, and the third had neither grapefruit nor grapefruit juice. After 12 weeks the fruit eaters lost an average of 3.6 pounds, the juice drinkers lost 3.3 pounds, and the citrus-free group lost an average of just .5 pounds each, according to a report from BBC News.

    The Insulin Connection
    Citrus fruits might help to lower levels of insulin, which helps the body to metabolize sugar. When the body metabolizes sugar efficiently, less of it is stored as fat. An excess of insulin in the body causes hunger and cravings, according to BBC News.

    Citrus and Flavonoids
    The flavonoid naringenin found in grapefruit and oranges might may help prevent weight gain and aid the liver in burning excess fat instead of storing it. It is also might correct insulin resistance and help the body maintain a steady metabolism, according to Science Daily.

    Lifestyle
    Though it might help, eating citrus fruit alone is not enough to help you reach your goal weight. Eat a moderate, healthful diet and get plenty of exercise. These are your greatest tools in the battle against excess pounds.

    Warning
    Grapefruit can interact with some medications. Check with your pharmacist or doctor about whether you can eat grapefruit.

    I have used this recipe with the exception of adding some ground ginger. This is a great way to rehydrate and reduce and help with bloating/water retention!

    My favorite part of the study: it wasn't controlled for calorie intake:
    Although not measured in this study, calorie
    intake can be affected by eating grapefruit. Grapefruit is relatively
    large in volume and low in energy density and could
    potentially change short-term food intake.

    Function
    Peppermint is one of the oldest types of herbs used in natural medicine. Traditionally, the leaves go in teas to help soothe the stomach and relieve pain in the body. Peppermint oil has topical uses to relieve joint and muscle pain. The website Medline Plus says that peppermint is also sometimes used as a stimulant to help burn calories and increase the metabolism.

    Cucumbers
    While a balanced, low-calorie diet is the best way to lose weight, certain food pairings can supercharge your metabolism and may help you burn fat. Lemon juice and cucumbers is one such combination -- and there are other food combos that can also act as fat burners. "Different foods stimulate the body's fat-burning mechanisms in different ways, so combining the right foods can elevate fat burning," says Elizabeth Somer, a registered dietitian and author of "Nutrition for Women."

    Lemon Juice & Cucumbers
    Cucumbers are high in sulphur and silicon, two trace minerals that may help the body burn fat, according to Somer. And because cucumbers are high in water, they prevent bloating by acting as diuretics. "It may sound counter-intuitive, but foods with high water content prevent water retention and bloating that can make it appear that you have a big belly," Somer says. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to a cucumber salad or plate of sliced cucumbers can stoke your body's fat-burning furnace. Lemons are purported to increase metabolism, which generates heat in the body. As your body heats up, calories and fat dissolve. Plus, lemons are highly acidic. Acidic foods may aid fat breakdown, according to Somer.
    Fish & Almonds
    It may sound strange to fight fat by eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but these healthy fats may help boost your metabolism and fight disease. The protein in fish also helps stave off hunger and prevent overeating, which can keep fat from ending up on your hips and rear-end. Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3s. To improve its fat-burning properties, baste the salmon with lemon juice. Besides raising your metabolism, Somer notes that lemon juice helps unlock the flavor of fish. Add more fat-burning by sprinkling sliced almonds on top of the fish and lemon juice before serving. In a study of obese and overweight people, those who ate about 3 oz. of almonds daily, lost more weight over 24 months than the no-nut group. Nuts are a good source of alpha-linolenic acid, which may aid metabolism of body fat, according to Somer.

    Chili Peppers & Water
    Chili peppers are loaded with capsaicin, a compound that heats up the body and burns calories and fat. Ginger, curry powder and a few other spices also contain this fat-burning compound. Wash the hot peppers down with water. In a study published in the "Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism," drinking about 17 oz. of water was found to have a thermogenic effect, which raised the metabolic rate in normal-weight adults by 30 percent. Water also helps burn fat by reducing cravings and filling you up with a zero-calorie beverage. Drinking a glass of water before eating can reduce hunger and aid weight loss.

    Tips
    To accelerate fat-burning, Somer suggests eating six small meals a day. This eating schedule will help keep blood sugar steady and boost your metabolism. Cardiovascular activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling and swimming, will keep your metabolism revved up for several hours afterward. Physiologist Cedric Bryant, Ph.D., American Council on Exercise, says, "Adding muscle mass raises your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn up to 70 extra calories per day." By eating the right combinations of foods, along with a healthy dose of exercise, you can turn your body into a fat-burning machine.

    This is a great way to get enough water each day.
    I also take the fruit and blend it and have a breakfast drink that jump starts your day!
    I tried a little ginger as well, and love it.
    I faithfully exercise 1-2 hours at least 5 days a week, eat 1200 calories or less everyday, and struggle to loose weight, so I look for any sensible way to help that process along.
    Just keep pounding!

    I would imagine you are having issues with losing weight because you are not eating enough and not fueling your body properly.

    Just an FYI, there is no scientific support for this.

    glad to see the warning about the grapefruit in there - it may make you gain weight - the weight of a baby. It interferes with a few types of contraceptive pills and some heart medications too!

    Are you eating back your exercise calories? Because you have to or your metabolism will not be a happy and active camper. Surely you've seen MFP yell at you about starvation mode if you're under 1200 calories when you submit your diary for the day?
