Drink This Before Going to Bed to Help Burn Belly Fat

4. Ginger

Ginger is not only delicious, but can actually help to control appetite through regulation of blood sugar and serum cholesterol. It is when our blood sugar dips that we are hit with the cravings that lead to snacking and overeating. Including it in our bedtime smoothie recipe sets you up for a good day’s diet when you wake.

Ginger is also great for suppressing the stress hormone cortisol, which is linked with fat storage. It interrupts the vicious cycle that has you reaching for the candy when you feel stressed, then storing all of that extra fat around your middle because of the cortisol that made you feel stressed in the first place!
