Description
A hydration-based approach using flavored infusions to manage appetite and support metabolism.
Ingredients
- Water (filtered): the base; supports hydration and gastric volume.
- Fresh lemon slices: adds vitamin C and a crisp, bright flavor.
- Fresh ginger slices: warming, slightly spicy aroma.
- Fresh mint leaves: cooling aroma and subtle sweetness.
- Apple cider vinegar (optional, 1 tsp): adds tartness to the drink.
- Sparkling water (optional): for a fizzy alternative without added calories.
Instructions
- Prepare your flavor base by adding lemon and ginger slices to a pitcher of water and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Strain or leave ingredients in as per preference.
- Measure 8 to 12 ounces of infused water and pour it into a glass 20 to 30 minutes before your meal.
- Sip slowly over 5 to 10 minutes to register fullness.
- Refill as needed during the meal to control pacing.
- Start with plain water for the first week to gauge tolerance before adding flavors.
Notes
Maintain hydration habits and adjust flavors to personal preference.
