The New Atkins Lifestyle: Fruit Infused Waters- do they really work?

Fruit-infused water helps reduce cravings and helps you feel fuller

Dubai, UAE, November 3, 2016:  Continuing the fight against obesity, the New Atkins Lifestyle recommend adding fruit to your water to help stay hydrated and reduce the chance of overeating. By creating some of these tasty fruit-infusions at home, Atkins Nutritionist, Linda O’Byrne believes you can make your water more palatable and even increase your intake of antioxidants, leading to numerous health benefits.

With obesity in the UAE at an all time high, and cases of Type 2 diabetes rising, New Atkins Lifestyle has been driving awareness of the numerous incredible medical health benefits that come from following their groundbreaking approach. The scientifically backed and safe low carb, low sugar eating plan has been proven to not only tackle obesity, but also fight and prevent heart disease and manage Type 2 diabetes.

Ranging from flushing out toxins to combatting hunger, fruit-infused water can remedy a number of ailments. Because it can often be mistaken for hunger, dehydration often leads to overeating. Therefore drinking more water will stop your cravings and helps you to feel fuller. Additionally, drinking enough water will help to flush out toxins in the body, reduce water retention, and help to clear up your skin.

Nutritionist Linda O’Byrne recommends adding fruit to your water, as it is a convenient way to increase your water intake, and is “a great way of getting the sweet taste without the sugar hit”.  She goes on to recommend adding low-glycemic fruits, such as berries, to your water to ensure you are not accidentally increasing the sugar content.

Below are the top three recommended fruit-infused water recipes:
Lemon Coriander Water: Infuse water with half lemon, six sprigs of coriander, and sliced cucumber
Spicy Cucumber Mint Water: Slice half cucumber, half deseeded jalapeno and one sprig mint leaf and infuse
Apple Cinnamon Water: Infuse a chopped, cored apple & cinnamon stick (not ground cinnamon!)
