Lemon Mint Meltdown
Here is a cool recipe to aide in your weight loss that I am using now.
You will need:
2 tablespoons of FRESH squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. ½ lemon)
1 tablespoons of splendor. (You can adjust to your taste).
1/10 teaspoon (a small pinch!) cayenne pepper. (To taste).
2 fresh mint leaves mixed vigorously.
Mix ingredients into a 20 once glass of room temperature spring water. Drink 1 glass before every meal at room temperature.

These look great – I just want to add, that in order to lose weight, the body does need to have healthy fats. Like raw oils that you can find in coconut oil, olive oil, raw nuts, avocados, etc. In fact, if you don’t have enough of these, you can not only have trouble losing weight, but you wind up with more cravings for unhealthy foods (which contain unhealthy fats).
I’ve had days when I was constantly craving fatty foods and finally just took a spoonful of raw olive oil – and that handled it. I ignore the calories when it comes to raw and healthy fats – they are so important!
The more nutrition you get, the more balanced your diet becomes, and the less you need to control cravings. After a while, with good nutrition, you can reach the point where you almost forget about food and just eat when you need to.
