How to make a homemade fat-burning cocktail, its benefits and contraindications, recipes for effective formulations with different ingredients. Fat-burning cocktail is a drink consisting of fat-burning ingredients that speed up the metabolism. For this, spices, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and spices are used. That is, products available to everyone and no "chemistry".
Useful properties of fat burning cocktails
In addition to the fact that homemade slimming shakes are available, they are also very beneficial. Depending on the composition, they can have different effects:
- Normalize the metabolism, allowing the necessary substances to be absorbed and excreted by the unnecessary ones.
- Calm the nervous system, thereby reducing the need for food intake as a stress reliever.
- Speed up food digestion and metabolism, relieving stress on the digestive tract.
- Reduce appetite and / or dull hunger, which makes it easier to endure restrictions during weight loss.
In addition, homemade fat burner drinks are pleasant to the taste and are quite diverse, so they can be used both as snacks along with regular meals, and for fasting days.
As you can see, the effect of such cocktails on body fat is indirect, through metabolic processes and digestion processes. Therefore, the effect of liposuction should not be expected from them. But this does not mean that they are not effective at all. With regular use, fat-burning cocktails and metabolic processes will be adjusted, and they will be saturated with useful substances, and the volumes will be reduced.
Now let's look at the fat burning effects of the most popular ingredients in slimming cocktails:
- Spices (red pepper, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom) … They not only improve the taste of dishes, but also speed up the digestion process, activate the cardiovascular system and sweat glands, remove substances that are unnecessary to the body and inhibit the absorption of carbohydrates.
- Water … This fluid is essential for the normal functioning of all body systems. It can be called a trigger for most of the processes inside us, so a lack of water leads to a slowdown in metabolic processes, its accumulation in the body (including in the form of edema and excess weight).
- Milk and fermented milk products (with a low percentage of fat) … Kefir, yogurt, ayran, cottage cheese perfectly cleanse the intestines and cope with hunger, help to establish digestion and saturate the body with calcium, vitamin D, and trace elements.
- Fruits and berries (citrus, apples, kiwi, pineapple, watermelon, mango) … They are not only pleasant to the taste and rich in nutrients, but also very actively involved in metabolic processes.
- Tea (green, jasmine, white, hibiscus) … It is an excellent tonic with the effect of speeding up metabolism and reducing hunger.
- Oatmeal … This cereal is rich in protein, vitamins and microelements, perfectly nourishes and "cleanses" the intestines.
- Raw vegetables (tomatoes, cabbage, celery, cucumbers, radishes, zucchini) … They are high in fiber, trace elements and vitamins, but low in calories. They cleanse the intestines, speed up digestion and nourish well.
Note that a fat burning slimming shake will be most effective as a snack. For example, as lunch or dinner.
Contraindications to taking fat-burning cocktails
As such, there are no contraindications to the use of homemade drinks for weight loss. However, there are nuances regarding their ingredients, which have their own pitfalls:
- Pepper … This spice affects blood vessels, so it is not recommended to use it in food if you have heart problems (arrhythmia, angina pectoris) and blood pressure (arterial hypertension), kidneys and liver, stomach and intestines (gastritis, colitis, ulcers).
- Cinnamon … In large quantities, it causes fatigue and headaches, and can damage liver tissue.
- Ginger … May cause an allergic reaction, irritation of the digestive tract mucosa, adversely affect the functioning of the liver and gallbladder, increase the body's heat production and increase bleeding. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it in the presence of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, gallstone disease, hemorrhoids and high body temperature.
- Citrus … Strong allergens can irritate the mucous membranes.
- Kefir … With caution, this product should be used by people with gastritis, high acidity of gastric juice and peptic ulcer disease.
- Apples … Do not abuse these fruits in the presence of diseases of the stomach and intestines (gastritis, ulcers, colitis, hyperacidity).
As you can see, moderate doses of fat burners do not pose a serious health hazard. Therefore, you should not deviate from the recipe in order to enhance the effectiveness of the cocktail.

Protein slimming cocktail with fermented milk products
It is not necessary to use special protein preparations to make a homemade protein drink that burns fat. We suggest replacing them with fermented milk products - no less rich in protein.
Consider effective tools:
- Fat-burning cocktail with cottage cheese and Ricotta cheese … To prepare this slimming drink, you will need to mix a glass of milk, 100 g of low-fat cottage cheese, 10-20 g of Ricotta, a tablespoon of frozen cream and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, 150 g of any yogurt and frozen fruits or berries (optional). It is noteworthy that all the components of this cocktail purposefully "work" on losing weight without losing muscle mass. Namely: Ricotta whey proteins stimulate the formation of muscle fibers, curd casein fights hunger, fruits are saturated with vitamins, and yogurt and cream give the drink an expressive taste.
- Fat-burning curd-berry cocktail … You can activate the work of your digestive tract and reduce volumes without losing muscle mass using a mixture of kefir and cottage cheese, taken in equal parts (150 g each). To enrich this fat-burning formula with vitamins and minerals, remove the frozen berries from the refrigerator and add them to the shake (without defrosting). The taste of the drink will turn out to be sour, so you can correct it for those with a sweet tooth with a small amount of honey.
- Fat Burning Shake "Strawberry Protein" … For such a cocktail, it is best to use fresh berries, but if there are none, you can take frozen ones. You will need a little of them - 1 large strawberry or 2 medium berries. The basis of the drink will be milk - 350 ml, where add strawberries, a couple of spoons of your favorite yogurt and 1.5 tsp. flax seed.

The best option is quail eggs, which are rich in nutrients and nutrients.

For one serving of such a cocktail, take 7 quail eggs, separate the proteins and mix with 70 g of cottage cheese. Add 1 ripe banana to the composition and dilute with a glass of milk.
Do not forget that for such cocktails you need to use fermented milk products with a low percentage of fat, preferably 0%.
Unlike fruit-vegetable and kefir cocktails for weight loss, protein fat-burning drinks are better placed not for snacks, but instead of breakfast or dinner.
Slimming cocktails with kefir and spices
Kefir-based slimming drinks are among the most popular in their segment. This is facilitated not only by their availability for everyone, but also by their real effectiveness along with safety for the body.

To get back in good shape with the help of kefir cocktails with spices, take a glass of kefir and stir in it a small amount of the selected spice in such an amount: ground cinnamon -? tsp, ground ginger -? tsp, red pepper - on the tip of a knife.
Ground ginger can be replaced with a more effective fresh one, grated on a fine grater, but in a smaller amount - 1 / 3-1 / 4 tsp.
