Before I started eating healthy, I’d have friends who’d say, “Oh you need to eat (or drink) this, you’ll feel so amazing!” I’d follow their advice and if I were being truthful, I would probably let them know that I didn’t feel any difference. But what I’ve come to realize is that once you start to eat or drink healthy, feeling the affects will come. Pretty soon you’ll start to see and feel the changes.
And now that I’ve being taking in healthier things, I find that whenever I eat things like Taco Bell (oh so so good..) and drinks things like soda, my body gets pretty angry with me. But this is beside the point! Down below I’ve found some awesome healthy beverages that will help you detox and lose weight. I love finding awesome recipes from other blogger’s lists, and I especially love linking to them so my readers can not only see my favorite finds, but also what these other bloggers have to offer. So feel free to check them out and let me know what you think!

Alright, now whether you just want to lose weight or feel good, these drinks and hacks are a great way to do just that. They’re simple, nothing complex, and it’s a great way to get started on a healthy diet. And if you want the most out of each drink, be sure to have them right after waking up.
