Coriander Lemon Detox Water for weightloss | Indian Weightloss Recipes

Coriander Lemon Detox Drink Recipe | Indian Weightloss Recipes

Coriander Lemon Detox Drink is a popular Indain weightloss recipe that was introduced to me by my mom. Her friend's daughter lost a lot of weight with this drink, I was intrigued about it and googled it and to my surprise I read tons of article about this drink. Its surprising that I never knew about it, so had to try it. I put this to test and had this drink for 5 days mind you that's the recommended limit. Since this drink targets your liver and helps it to cleanse its suggested to have it continuously for 5 days and give your body a break for a month and then again do the detox. Also remember to have a watchful diet to see some weightloss. Personally I found this drink to have a cleansing effect on my body and I did not try other detox drinks while having this. It also helped me skip the craving for tea in the morning. I felt for refreshed and a sense of refresh to my inner system to say the least. Coriander aids in digestion, boosts immunity, eliminates toxins and on the other hand lemon purifies the blood. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think. Please note that I am not a dietitian or a doctor, I am on a journey to lose weight like any of you reading this post. Take care to understand what your body can accept and what it needs and if you have any doubts consult with a doctor before trying this.

Black Forest Cheesecake cake sound so fancy right. This what happens when my husband is gifted with a wife who is a food blogger ;-). Food blogging has made his expectations of me go soaring high, each year I bake two fancy cakes one for our anniversary and one for his birthday, so I get a little carried away planning what cake I need to bake for these occasions in our life. Last year I baked for him a Tiramisu Cake , this year I promise, it was a last minute affair I decided on this cake only 2 days before and got the ingredients and baked it all in one day. In fact I did the frosting of the cake only the next day morning that was his birthday. So for compensation he had to do a little cake modelling for me :P. I love taking risks in the kitchen, I did not have a springfoam pan and yet I pulled off doing a cheesecake recipe. All thanks to God for He always answers my prayer ;0). We both love black forest cake and off late have been die hard fans of cheesecake, so combined both and thought of this and voila I saw a recipe for this so went ahead without any second thoughts. We love dessert cakes too and this recipe is such a keeper, a really rich one so save and plan it for your special occasions. Lets move on to the recipe and its a long post alert...

Cumin Fennel Detox Drink | Cumin water for weightloss

Cumin Detox Drink | Indian Detox recipes

Cumin fennel weightloss drink was not something new to me. I have known since ages that cumin helps in digestion and many of you would have seen elders having cumin water daily. Its unless you start having it does one realize the benefits of this detox water. Detox recipes and drinks are not new to us. At one point everyone of us would have tried lemon honey warm water first thing in the morning. I have had this for years and trust me did I lose weight and give credits to lemon honey water? only God knows. Later I had green tea and this was another controversial  drink some say it helps weightloss and some say its loaded with caffeine. And I simply lost interest on both drinks to be honest. I was looking for a drink that I can have throughout the day without any fuss. And that what helped me research and come up with a recipe that is simple, easy and quick to do. I make a batch of 5 glasses of this drink and have it all throughout the day especially before every meal. With a good balanced diet and moderate exercise I did see a difference in the scale. I lost 15 lbs in a matter of 12 months, its a slow progress but still this drink did help my body well. The results in scale was a lot of effort apart from drinking this but I must tell you I didn't feel bloated nor did I have any digestion issues after having this drink. Fennel & cumin seeds help in aiding digestion, reduce bloating and help aid in weightloss. If you still don't believe me do your research on fennel and cumin seeds and you will surely try this recipe.
