So I know this isn't a long term diet, just kind of a quick fix. But has any one tried it? How were the results? Would you try it again?
I don't know Sunrise. I don't deny the fact that the diet perhaps works wonderfully. However, in my opinion it is not the healthiest way to diet neither is it satisfying knowing that what's coming next is nothing more than another bowl of cereal or a special K snack bar along with some fruits of veggies. The reason why i say it is not healthy is because of the ingredients. It is fascinating that yesterday i was about to buy that cereal since i have not eaten any cereal for the past month since i started a stricter diet for weight loss. I read the ingredients and here is what i foundSo I know this isn't a long term diet, just kind of a quick fix. But has any one tried it? How were the results? Would you try it again?
Hi again Sunrise.Sure I'd like to know
And you make a really good point.
Oh, another tip. Buy un-iodized Sea Salt. The right Salt is super important for your health because it has Ionic Minerals and Trace Elements that most of us lack because of poor eating habits. See, refined salt is depleted of minerals plus it has hazardous anti cake preservatives and chemicals. This is exactly what causes blood pressure to raise. The beauty of Sea Salt is that it cooks way better than refined Salt. I told my Mom about replacing refined Salt in favor of Sea Salt years ago. It took her sometime to understand that sea salt does not have an effect on raising blood pressure. My Mom was afraid to take the risk of using more salt than just a ridiculously low amount of salt as the doctor had told her. Doctors make it seem as if salt is salt and period, there recommendation for patients suffering from high blood pressure is to reduce salt drastically. This i believe is a strategy of there's to have patients return with other health issues. If you don't consume enough salt, well you get sick and that is just that. More money for them equals the loss of your health. That way they can continue medicating you. My Mom uses a moderate amount of sea salt and has never experienced blood pressure problems from it. If she used the amount of refined salt that she uses when using sea salt, she will end up hospitalized.. Like i said earlier, Sea Salt cooks so much better, good cooks and Chefs know that secret. I consider my Mom to be a great cook and she has noticed the difference in how good sea salt cooks compared to refined salt. My Mom has not bought refined salt for years. Try it out and tell me what you think.Awesome! Thank you for your advice. I never thought eating more times in a day would have that effect on your body. I assumed it would make you gain weight.
It's so hard to find any good healthy foods anymore with all the added sugar, fructose, salt, etc they inject into everything now. Glad to know there are still organic places out there.
I've never eaten jasmine rice before. I will have to try it out!
Yes, let me know. I haven't heard of a person yet that is not pleased with how it cooks.Sunryse said:I've heard of sea salts. I will buy some and check it out
No, bad idea. Your body needs salt, with sea salt you are getting the right salt.Sunryse said:Would it be better to cut out salt altogether?
Really? How are they not in any danger of inadequate salt when that is precisely what they consume by eating processed foods?Most Americans (or anyone who eats processed foods) are in no danger of inadequate salt.
True. I read something years ago that mentioned how rare it is to find an American who is Iodine deficient considering that most of our foods contain iodine including refined salt. Have you heard or read any of this before?Sea salt does not need to be iodized because it already contains iodine (which prevents goiters, a thyroid disorder).
Interesting. I will have to purchase that book for sure. Thanks Daisy.I read a really good book about salt. It's called "Salt: A World History." Informative and entertaining.

Uuuf, i know. Sounds terrible having to eat so much cereal in a day. And when u don't have the cereal how about some Special K Snack bars to munch on along with some veggies or fruits?The Special K Diet was created by the Kellogg’s breakfast cereal company. Basically it involves eating a bowl (45g) of Special K with ½ cup of low fat milk for breakfast then another for lunch OR dinner for two weeks.
