Tips and Tricks to Keep the Weight Moving---OFF, with Meta 21

You have to take food in, utilize what you need and let the rest go, and that is what Meta 21's job is.

One of the best things you can do is start cooking if you are not currently doing so, and stop using prepared foods. They have all the enzymes killed, as in when we home can food, we kill the enzymes so they don't grow bacteria. If bacteria cannot grow, neither will you. That is a good rule of thumb. And fresh foods will definitely grow bacteria if you don't eat them soon enough. You have to have enzymes to break your food down to utilize it properly, not store it. Meta 21 can help with additional enzymes.

Bananas are delicious but terrible for regularity. Keep apples and oranges on hand, and pears, kiwi, strawberries, and grapes. I have found that we are unwilling to pay $2 a pound for grapes, but will spend $4 a pound for chips. Same for ice cream, etc. Go figure.

Even if you use a small amount of dip with them, have broccoli, carrot, peppers, and celery for snacking in the day.

I use to keep crackers in my desk years ago, and I put on so much weight! So pretzels are usually a little better, but pair them with something fresh.

Think small meals 5 - 6 all day long. Maybe it's an apple and cheese stick on a break, and have a small lunch, then a yogurt on another break.

And Finally....Don't use sugar free anything. If those products were really helpful, we would all be suffering as a nation from underweight issues. Not obesity! Think about it!

You have to make sure you are eating enough calories, good, healthy ones, as that will cause weight gain also if you deprive yourself.

Happy Healthy Eating!

Guacamole-From the Titanium Chef

Avocadoes have a lot of really good vitamins and minerals in them.  A lot of people steer clear of them because of the fat content, but it is "good fat".  Its the good fat that nuts also have in them.  This guacamole is very healthy and good for you so go out today and grab a couple avocadoes...I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating this stuff until the bowl is empty, I sure can't!

Guacamole
from Mama Mexico

1 Avocado
2 T tomatoes, chopped
2 T onions, chopped
1 tsp garlic, diced
3 sprigs cilantro, chopped
1  juice of one lime
1 T chopped jalapeno (add more if you like it spicy)
Salt to taste

Remove avocado from shell.  Roughly mash avocado leaving some lumps.  Add other ingredients and mix.  Season with salt to taste.  More lime may be added, I usually add more, I think it tastes better that way! Serve as dip with corn chips or as a spread on tortillas or any other mexican food you like.
