Sigh. I dont like calorie counting but it's a good way to lose weight. In order for me to lose weight, i need not to go beyond 1390 calories/day. O.O The downside of being short. Lols
1 tbsp of Organic Apple Cider plus a glass water will help in increasing your metabolism and it's also good for internal organs.

One of the main things I've learned from trying to correct my diet is not to drink my calories. To lose weight I have to keep my daily intake between 1100-1200 calories (I'm short). So I can't waste any of those precious calories in a drink. But I don't like to drink just plain water so I've come up with this alternative that works good for me:
In a pitcher of water I add about 4-5 teabags of herbal tea (peppermint, ginger,2 milk thistle, and whatever else looks good)..I cut off the strings and let them remain in the pitcher.
-add crushed cinnamon sticks
-add 3-5 slices of lemon (I was putting a whole lemon in but I started getting fever blisters...too alkaline?)
-several drops of liquid stevia (NOW's "Better Stevia" is great!)
As I drink it, I add more water and liquid stevia. It becomes too diluted after two days so I then throw everything out and start over.
If I have time, I'll put everything in hot water to steep for awhile, let cool, and then put in the fridge.
Some people add fruit, like strawberries, or veggies, like sliced cucumbers. It's fun to experiment.
The lemon and milk thistle is supposed to be very good for the liver. Our poor livers are in terrible shape...at least for those eating the standard American diet.
