🍵 Green Tea: A Metabolism Booster
Green tea contains compounds called catechins — especially EGCG — which have been linked in multiple studies to modest increases in fat burning and metabolism. Research shows people who drink green tea regularly may lose more weight than those who don’t.

In some trials, participants lost a few extra pounds over a few months compared with controls — not a “magic” result, but meaningful when combined with a healthy diet.

🍋 Lemon Adds Flavor and Hydration
Lemon itself doesn’t melt fat alone, but drinking flavored water encourages hydration and may support appetite control — because people often mistake thirst for hunger.

Squeeze in fresh lemon juice

Optionally stir in 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

Sip it slowly as I opened my eyes to the day

That drink became a mindful moment — a gentle cue that I was ready to take care of myself.

C. Slight Metabolic Support
Green tea’s compounds may slightly enhance fat oxidation, especially when consumed before activity.

D. Habit Formation
Drinking the same beverage every day helped me feel committed. It wasn’t a quick fix — it was a cue that triggered a healthy mindset for the whole day.
