CWP Fitness: Does Cucumber Burn Fat?


I have gotten the above question a couple of times, so I decided to do a post on it today. Does cucumber burn fat? Yes! I does, because it is exceptionally low in calories and has about 95% water content. Aside from burning fat, they have other healing benefit that helps the skin glow and can be used to Lighten dark lips. You can also make your own Detox Water which aids flab belly reduction. You see, Cucumber has a whole lot of benefits and good part is that, it is soooo affordable.

Cucumber is one of the secret to that slim, healthy body that you have always been jealous of! It is an effective and healthy way to cleanse your body from deep inside and lose weight. Being rich in dietary fibre, cucumbers fill up your stomach and are perfect as a great diet food.....

Lose Weight With Cucumber 

  • Cucumbers are rich in water content, almost 95%, and dietary fibres, which are most effective in cleansing the body of harmful toxins released by the digestive system. Thus they promote better digestion. 
  • Moreover, they are exceptionally low in calories, which make them an essential food for weight loss diet. When you eat less calorie content throughout the day, based on cucumber diet, you tend to cut down on your body fat more efficiently and lose weight fast. Worry not!! You will not starve to death when you are on a wholesome ‘cukes' diet!! 
  • When you make a healthy and nutritious cucumber salad with cream or cucumber smoothie, it will keep you feeling full for about two to three hours.This way, the healthy diet also facilitates losing weight and getting that slim figure that you always desired. With little appetite and your stomach feeling full for long, you will be less prone to eat frequently. Thus, your total calorie intake for the day further trims down, making you lose body fat faster. 
  • A cucumber diet, with ample physical exercises along with a healthy lifestyle, is the key mantra to burn fats. No crash diets, no starving; even you can be the proud owner of beautiful, healthy body that you always dreamed of. Slimming can now be as cool as a cucumber!!

Benefits of a Cucumber Diet 

Cucumber comes with innumerable health benefits; the most significant one being that it aids in losing weight and slimming down more effectively.
  • As it contains 95% of water and 5% dietary fibres, it thoroughly cleanses the body and frees it from harmful toxins that hinder your digestive system. This way, it promotes better digestion, which in turn speeds up metabolism. Another key feature of the cucumber diet is that it aids in cooling the body, keeps you feeling refreshed and relaxed all day long. 
  • Rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin B, a diet based on cucumbers can also give you radiant glowing skin, and clear visibility.
Now is the time to replace 'em junks with cucumber, do this and your future self will thank you for it.
 
PS: If you are in Lagos, Nigeria on Saturday 18th July, 2015 and won't be doing anything, please find your way to National Stadium Surulere by 7am, there is going to be an Aerobics & Dance session, courtesy Stella Dimoko Korkus Blog. I have a feeling that it is going to be fun and a start-up inspiration for some of us who are afraid to start our workout routine. I wish I can be there but I gotta be at work **sad face**

Errmmm, how is the No Late Night eating challenge going? Hope no one is cheating? Have you noticed any changes yet?
