A small diluted sip of fresh amla
Fresh amla and a little ginger are diluted in a small glass of water. You sip that once. It is not a bottle of juice and it does not promise kilos lost.
About this small amla sip
Amla is sour. A spoon of pulp in water is plenty. Ginger is a thin slice, not a large knob. Strain the sip if the fibres bother you, and drink it with a meal or just after, not as a stunt on a very empty stomach.
Do not line up several glasses. This does not promise kilos lost. Rinse your mouth with plain water afterwards so the acid does not stay on your teeth.
