8 ounces of fresh water
1 cinnamon sticks
8 ounces of fresh water

Place the cinnamon in a mug and
cover with 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes before straining.
Drinking 1-2 times a day.
Green Tea &
Ginger
You will need,
1/2 inch of fresh ginger root,
peeled and finely chopped OR ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon of green tea
8 ounces of fresh water
Raw, organic honey (optional)
1 teaspoon of green tea
8 ounces of fresh water
Raw, organic honey (optional)
Directions
Place green tea and ginger in a
strainer or sieve and cover with 8 ounces of boiling water. Steeping green tea
for too long can leave it with a bitter taste, so don’t exceed 3-4 minutes.
You can stir in a little raw
honey if you really need to sweeten it, but avoid milk or sugar at all costs.
Drink 1-2 cups daily on an empty stomach.
Rose Petal Water
You will need,
Handful of fresh or dried rose
petals
Distilled water (roughly 1-2 cups)
A pot with a tightly fitting lid
Note: Be sure, especially if using fresh rose petals, that they have not been treated with any sort of chemical (insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc.)
Distilled water (roughly 1-2 cups)
A pot with a tightly fitting lid
Note: Be sure, especially if using fresh rose petals, that they have not been treated with any sort of chemical (insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc.)
Directions
Place the pot on the stove, put
in the rose petals, and add just enough distilled water to completely cover
them. If some float to the top it’s not a big deal.
Cover the pot with a tightly
fitting lid and simmer until the petals lose most of their color, about 15-20
minutes. Strain the liquid into a glass jar and keep in the refrigerator for up
to 6 days. Drink about ½-1 cup every morning on an empty stomach.
Coconut Oil (as a
replacement fat)
You will need,
2 tablespoons of good virgin
cold-pressed coconut oil
Directions
Twice a day, take 1 tablespoon
of coconut oil. You can take it before, during, or after a meal. If you tend to
struggle with proportions, I suggest taking it before you eat, or if dessert is
your demon, take it right after dinner. In terms of substitution I’ve used it
in place of olive oil and love it.
Plain Yogurt and
Honey
You will need,
1/2-1 cup of plain (not
vanilla) yogurt
1 tablespoon of organic raw honey, or to taste
1 tablespoon of organic raw honey, or to taste
Directions
Eat this for a snack or
breakfast, adding on the honey for flavor. Feel free to try adding fresh fruit
or even oats for a little variety.
Black Pepper and
Lemon Juice
You will need,
Several sprinkles of freshly
ground black pepper
Juice of half a lemon
Fresh water
Juice of half a lemon
Fresh water
Directions
Mix lemon juice with water and
sprinkle in black pepper (about 3-4 turns of the pepper grinder) Drink once
daily after a meal.
Eat Chocolate
You will need,
70% dark chocolate
Directions
Directly after a meal, eat a
piece of dark chocolate roughly the size of your thumb to glean its benefits.
Tips for You
Don’t eat before bed. Your
metabolism slams on the brakes when you go to sleep, so eating at night makes
weight gain tough to avoid.
Never underestimate stress as a
cause of weight gain. The body cannot perform any function, including burning
fat for energy, optimally when under stress.
Drink Water,
Especially Before Meals
Drinking water can boost metabolism
by 24-30% over a period of 1-1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more
calories.
Drink Green Tea
Green tea contains small
amounts of caffeine, but it is also loaded with powerful antioxidants called
catechins, which are also believed to work synergistically with the caffeine to
enhance fat burning
Use Smaller Plates
Using smaller plates has been
shown to help people automatically eat fewer calories in some studies. Weird
trick, but it seems to work.
Eat Spicy Foods
Spicy foods like Cayenne pepper
contain Capsaicin, a compound that can boost metabolism and reduce your
appetite slightly
Don’t
Drink Calories, Including Sugary Soda and Fruit Juices.
