Introduction

Yes, that is the real name. The fat flush water was first introduced by Kim Lyons, who presented this concoction on The Biggest Loser, combined with other weight loss tips. The drink is comprised of 8 oz. water, 1 slice of grapefruit, 1 tangerine, ½ of a cucumber (sliced), 2 peppermint leaves, and ice. Mix together in and enjoy. Kim adds that this drink tastes better the longer it sits. The vitamin C turns fat into fuel, while the tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, and the cucumber makes you feel full. While this concoction is pretty awesome by itself, I've added Chia seeds to this recipe and turned it into a SUPER fat flush water.

Why are Chia seeds so SUPER? Well, the Chia Seed is a dieter’s dream come true. The tiny, healthy seeds can be made to taste like whatever you want, and their unique gelling action keeps you feeling full for hours. Google Chia seeds to see the FULL benefits of them. They are definitely a super food not to be ignored.

In conclusion, original recipe is Clark Kent...I've added Chia seeds and turned it into Super Man. Enjoy ~ Daisy Yes, that is the real name.
