What Am I Eating Thursday? Part II

Today I ended up having zero Isagenix Snacks! and decided to have some of the leftover chicken from yesterday about 12:15. Along with that I also had more of the organic goodies we got from Chocolatree.

This list includes 3 pieces of onion flat bread which goes very well with the cold chicken, which by the way, had no skin. Also 14 or 15 mini-pieces of the Nori snack which is the equivalent of about 2 1/2 of the big ones. I like the mini-Nori better, though I don't think the company recognizes any difference. Maybe there's more cheddar on the little ones? I finished the granola which means I had 3 1/2 ounces and 4 Chia Crackers. For dessert I had the other half of the brownie and it does taste better after you've had a lot of savory flavor. I finished with about 1 1/2 L.O.V.E cups as my son definitely did not like his and gave me half. Again, the antioxidants must be what people like about the cups, and the fact that they are raw, but it just seems like you could get the antioxidants from blueberries or something instead of paying $3 for one of these.

Several hours later I had my Isagenix Isalean Shake and along with the creaminess the ice cubes made it much cooler and that was really welcome because August heat is finally here in Southern California.

Of course I was drinking water throughout the day. Around 8:30 I had an ounce of Isagenix Cleanse For Life and about an hour later I had around 45 or 50 cherries. Now I'm going to finish up with an ounce of Ionix Supreme. It's important to remember that you always want to drink water with the Ionix Supreme and the Cleanse For Life. If you get it in powder form that's obvious, but we prefer liquid and if you drink it straight always follow with 6 or 8 ounces of water at least. My wife likes to mix hers with water so she doesn't even have to think about that.

I want to reiterate that we all need more water than we are probably used to drinking. We need 1/2 ounce of water for every pound we weigh. And that doesn't even count the problem of drinking coffee or diet soda which have diuretic effects. I don't know exactly, but I would imagine that if you drink 16 ounces of coffee that you have to drink at least 16 ounces of water MORE to make up for it. Many people make the mistake of counting their coffee volume as water and that effect can really take a toll over time.

Take it from someone who has had gout. It is definitely not worth it to NOT get enough water for a long period of time. I suspect that the same is true for alcohol consumption. I am not a drinker so I don't have experience here.

One last thing - twice during the day I also took Natural Accelerator to speed up my metabolism with completely natural ingredients. No ma huang, ephedra or caffeine.

You can lose weight and/or get superior nutrition using all natural ingredients. I'm not the only one, but feel free to contact me on Facebook by clicking on the title of this post.
