Glucomannan For Weight Loss (fiber), Yerba Mate

What is glucomannan? (Amorphophallus kanjac)or, called Kanjac root ?
Glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight in water and forms a thick, gel-like mass that has been shown to be approximately five times greater than that of guar gum.
How does glucomannan support health?

•As a water-soluble fiber, glucomannan is appropriate for the relief of occasional constipation.


•The unique, bulk-forming property of glucomannan makes it a top-performing fiber specifically suited for providing a feeling of satiety (fullness) and promoting healthy weight loss.


•Glucomannan may be used as part of your diet to help maintain a healthy blood sugar level.*

•Promotes healthy blood lipid metabolism and helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range.


*The powder u only take 1/2 teaspoon before each large meal at least 30 minutes before. Read direction on bottle. I've also read studies on Kanjac Root and it's all natural, however, some professional weight loss company's have added in other ingredient's just to look exclusive.
It is available to buy glucomannan a whole lot cheaper than the diet pill .... LIPOZENE Lipo is expensive you can get this medication at Wal-Mart - remember to buy at least 180 capsules. You must take at least 3,000 mg. per meal. Pills usually come in 660mg each; use to be at Wal-Mart that's abt4 pills per meal.
So  many diet aids add Konjac Root to their formulas. Remember the (Hydeoxycut) Sprinkles on your food before you ate (same with additives?). Also, one could add the product to other foods, gravy's, sauces i.e.

Note;
Weight loss (study) Excellent tea in mornings
1. Yerba mate contains polyphenols such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which work by inhibiting enzymes like pancreatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase, which in turn play a role in fat metabolism. Yerba mate has been shown to increase satiety by slowing gastric emptying. Effects on weight loss may be due to reduced absorption of dietary fats and/or altered cholesterol metabolism.
Despite yerba mate’s potential for reducing body weight, there is minimal data on the effects of yerba mate on body weight in humans. Therefore, yerba mate should not be recommended over diet and physical exercise without further study on its effects being warranted.

Yerba maté
Yerba maté (Ilex paraguariensis) is an evergreen tree that is native to South America. In a combination preparation also containing guarana (Paullinia cupana) and damiana (Turnera diffusa), it was tested in patients with a BMI. I. paraguariensis and in particular P. cupana contain relatively large amounts of caffeine and have been shown by ultrasound scanning to prolong gastric emptying time. The descriptive results of that study indicated that this combination preparation might potentially be effective in lowering body weight. Adverse events were not reported.

PUMPKIN, RICE PUDDING

Pumpkin-Spiced Brown Rice Pudding

Use real pumpkin in this Pumpkin-Spiced Rice Pudding recipe. Add in a handful of nut meats, raisins to left-over rice or, as she has here. I freeze any left-over rice in one cup portions in zip-lock bags. Ready for a  handy quick dessert.
(Recipe Credit: Adrianna Adarme of the Fresh Tastes blog)

Ingredients for the uncooked rice

• 1 cup rice (I used a rice-blend of quinoa, brown rice and barley, feel free to use short-grain rice or long-grain) 
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar  
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk (2% can be used, too!)  (soy organic milk or cream)
• 1 cup water, plus more at the end of the recipe for consistency purposes  
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 
• 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg  (or, sub for the pumpkin pie spices + cloves)
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, roughly chopped (or, handful of chopped pecan)

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, brown sugar, milk, water, butter and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and allow to cook until water has mostly evaporated and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. (This will vary depending on the rice or rice blend you use so I say check on it periodically and add water as needed.)  (or, I use my frozen. I  have a special way of cooking perfect rice.)
2. Uncover the pot. If the water has completely evaporated, add about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of water. Pour in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Stir and give it a taste; adjust the spices and sugar to your liking. I found it perfectly spiced and sweet. Divide amongst bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds. If you’re reheating this, you may need to add a splash or two or water or milk to get your desired consistency.

Yield: 6-8 servings

My version: The rice is already cooked. We put the pudding in a pan over water under a bigger pan, 350 until the knife comes out clean.

VEGAN CORN-DOGS (TOFU)

When you wanta corn-dog you gotta have one. Morning Star brand of vegetarian food has some in the frozen section, when they're in but, read the package. Gobs of chemicals...They could do better I have made them from vegetarian hot dogs.
Always eat protein in a fiber balance. (choose fresh, frozen when possible. Grow a seasonal garden. Save the root vegetables for winter.)

Eat Organic or farmers fresh

Vegan Corn Dogs (grains)

Vegan Nook CLICK FOR MORE VEGAN RECIPES

We can't even begin to describe how good these vegan corn dogs are! All we can say is they are amazing! They're beyond amazing. They should be in a food group all their own. We're not kidding. Not even a little.
Peanut oil (for frying)
1 cup all purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup corn meal
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 brick (or 4 ounces) silken tofu
1 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon agave nectar
8 Tofurky Kielbasa Gourmet Sausages (halved) Or other vegan hot dog of choice
16 wood sticks (disposable "fast-food" style chop sticks work great)
1/3 cup corn starch
Heat oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat to 365° F. Oil should be at least 2-inches below the rim of the pan. If you don't have a kitchen thermometer, test the oil by carefully dropping a small amount of batter into the oil. It should begin bubbling almost immediately. If oil begins to smoke, it's too hot. If this happens, turn the heat down slightly. The oil should be hot, but not smoking. (this rule applies to all cooking oils).
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add the tofu, milk and agave and continue to whisk until well combined. There will be small lumps in the batter, this is okay.
Cut the sausages in half and skewer each one - cut side first using one chop stick. Roll each sausage in corn starch, and set aside. Depending on the size of your pan, roll each sausage in the batter one or two at a time, making sure to coat the entire 'dog'. Slowly submerge the dog into the oil, leaving the stick out. If necessary, turn the dog after about 2 minutes to submerge the opposite side for even cooking. The corndogs will be fully cooked within about 3 to 5 minutes. Once desired color is achieved, carefully remove to a wire rack, or atop a layer of paper towels to drain off the excess oil.
Don't worry if your corn dogs come out looking a little less than perfect. They're better that way! Not only does it not change the deliciousness of these dogs in the least, but that homemade-rustic look is totally awesome!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Corn Dog Appetizers:

If it's an appetizer you're after simply cut each hot dog into quarters and follow the directions above.

Understand the Maps of the Eye to Better Health

Hopefully I don't get into trouble for going on Google's Images getting a few of iridology photos to help me explain some common markings found in most irises. If their there to share we should be able to use + share them.

Notice all the different stages of lesions (most are genetic, some are made...) working here. Genetic linked if you observe your children or other member in your line some of these same markings in their irises too. But in or at different stages depending on age etc. These markings show weak links (genetics's mutations). Some of your family members will have the same markings in the same area. Check eye chart to see exactly where they are in your family eyes. An open lesion can drain toxins in the body better than a closed one. Others white line inside may continue to multiply until they close, if on a good program of plant based foods.

Another Example: The heart will be just a little above 3:00 on the left eye next to the autonomic nerve wreath. Generally another person in the family will inherent this family lesion i.e. too.

Chart:

First line: Some are healing and draining (not closed up and the white lines are close, widening or maybe they're getting a closer weaving as in some materials. Linen vs burlap. ) In a blue iris line maybe white in a brown iris yellow, black grades.

That's easier to reverse or heal than a closed darker lesions (in tear shape) that will have a more difficult time of healing (A) (C)

(F). When white is showing is "acute" and may be painful but if within, the lines are white, thick and knitting close together that area is healing unless you just broke a leg i.e. It's now happening or healing stage.

The further you look or go toward the bottom of the chart you can see the black or dark areas appearing. The disease in that area of the body where markings appear is degenerated that tissue. Disease (parasites) and drug can settle in destroying the area. (See Iridology Chart)

If you reverse the order going from the bottom back up to the top of the chart. This can shows stages of how the body will look when you eat correctly.
 Good habits like fasting, plant base diet and the right herbs will reverse disease unless an organ is cut out. The color black is a last stages, but, can be reversed to dark brown, brown, yellow, white(healing), then back to its original color etc. but, this takes a lot of work and time.

I generally don't teach this page...because people can't get past "the basic" of cleaning the stomach or, colon of its parasite.
Nothing heals until these  basic's"Hub" of the body is cleared. (Let me make it more clear, the "hub of the wheel" or iris is the center that shows the stomach, colon and the electric system (the autonomic "nervous" system.)

Most of the time I can't see under the spokes stemming from the colon to see the other problems. The basic organ need attention but zone 1 and 2 has to be corrected first.
Folks like their meats, diseased eggs, too much anti biotic (bugs) and/or fast foods to much to eliminate and reverse diseases.
 IT TAKES TIME AND DISCIPLINE THAT MOST DO NOT POSSES NOR TEACH. Black spokes that have deteriorated that area of body and can turn to lesions. (lesions to tumor etc.)

*When you can see the seventh zone (signifying the skin, the outer edge of the iris) and, the rosary (White dots around the edge of the color of the eye) which is the circulatory system or the blood. This is the way you can see some condition of high blood pressure and especially cholesterol
*mucus in the blood. Normally this rosary will not show if their is not a cholesterol, and liver- blood problem in the body. Next you'd go to other organs such as liver  treating it first.

Hypnosis, Brain Imagining, and changing the brain. This "brain imagining" with an expensive machine as Dr. Daniel speaks of can be too expensive for most. However, viewing the brain through the iris is most natural, cheaper and just as accurate. I like the way he knows nothing is sealed in cement, the brain can be changed.

Ginger Lemon Detox Water | Lose Weight Super Fast

A Post to reminder: the reader this blog's about health and loosing weight. Get plenty of water. I get a squeeze a bit of lemon with a bit of my special sweeteners (have many) to calm down the tartness but, not too sweet.

It really adds to my energy

I make lemon water in many ways over ice. This video was a good idea with two pH leveler's. Mc Donald's new lemon aid to the menu is a nice start, just take it home and dim the sugar down with ice to make many drinks of it.
 
Add: protein (veg) fiber.
The following may help: watch out for some of the 249 suggestions some of which I disagree with (protein suggestions)

CAKE MIX, PUMPKIN COOKIES

My home-aid, Virginia gave me this recipe. I wanted it because it was semi-home made recipe with few ingredient's that can be made into "October, Halloweens or Thanksgiving cookies. She added in dark chocolate, but I liked following the theme "pumpkin" with cranberry's (raisins?) instead. Also Virginia said she added more spices, protein. It has plenty of fiber. This recipe is low in fat and the canned pumpkin will dilute its sugar. Any spice cake mix will do

diffferent

This is for a large batch. Just half the recipe using one box of spice cake mix, one egg and, smaller can of pumpkin. (make sure it's real (fiber) pumpkin)
HOW TO MAKE FROM ANY CAKE MIX: COOKIES

===============

2 packages of spice cake mix

2 eggs

1 package of dark chocolate chips (sub. cranberry's, by color, in mix, or, raisins/nutmeat?)

Spray cookie sheet 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes (depends on size of cookie)

LIME JELLO SALAD (festive)

Festive Green Jell O Salad
After making this festive green salad you’ll know why we like green Jell-O in Utah. (You can use other colors other than lime, lemon, orange i.e. but it doesn't goes with the celery theme and, lettuce i.e.) No, it doesn't taste like celery at all, but leaves a delightful crunch. You  can make this also with cottage cheese instead of cream cheese or, the cool whip. (This is my favorite salad and I only make it at Christmas)
I know of many version of this salad out there, but I like this one the best that I’ve tried. You can double the recipe for a larger batch but even then I’ve never added more than one cream cheese…you don’t want this too heavy. After it cools adding the whipping cream fluffs it up and lightens it. If you feel it needs more flavor add another package of jell-o rather than the small one in this recipe. It has plenty of fiber and protein and is great when served under a salad leaf topped with special crackers about it. I’ve had it served to me for a desert at a girl’s party.
ingredients:
1 lg pkg. of green Jell-O
2- cup hot water (dissolves the jello and cream cheese)
2 cups cold water (READ DIRECTION ON YOUR PACKAGE OF JELLO.)
1 pkg. cream cheese (or course organic)
1 cup chopped celery (small bits)
2 cups or med. can crushed pineapple (drained well)
½ cup chopped walnuts
1/2 sm tub of real cool-whip
Lastly add in about ½ cup of mini marshmallows (optional)?
You can follow package directions on the Jello. I add one less cup of water than called for because I prefer it a little stiff to slice.
Directions:
Dissolved Jell-O in hot water and to this water dissolve cut up, mashed and whip in the cream cheese till blended smooth. Add in the rest of the ingredients except the cool-whip. Let stand until it’s cooled completely then add in the cool-whip. Refrigerate in a 9 x12 square glass pan if you want to cut it up in squares to serve or, lg bowl
