A Hoodia Product for Skeptics

Alrighty, I’m going to do something I said I would never do… review a hoodia product. lol.

First of all, when the Ice Cube Diet people wanted to send me their product to try, I gave them fair warning. I told them that we make fun of scammy spammy diet pills and nonsense here. But, they insisted! They stand behind their product enough that they thought they could win over the peanut gallery here at The Fun House. lol.

Good Ol’ Jack’s Dehydrator!

“Shasta” wrote in recently to ask for an update on how I was liking my old-fashioned Jack’s Dehydrator and to find out more about the metal used in the construction.

I LOVE my Jack’s Dehydrator! It’s still going strong making the best Essene breads ever. What can I say? It’s been a workhorse.  You do need to keep an eye on the bottom drawer because things can heat up down there and get brown spots, rendering it “cooked” more than raw. However, as I mentioned when I first wrote about the dehydrator, temperature control can be achieved  by pulling out the drawers; and of course, always run your Jack’s in a room with good air circulation.

Hot August Strawberry!

The kind folks at Focus 28 sent us a sample of their Berry Blast Drink to review, which, I found out, makes a great high protein, low calorie summer cooler!

So what is the Berry Blast Drink by Focus 28 anyhow? Well, it’s a sugar-free, whey protein drink; and just like it says, it’s berry flavored.

Now, normally, this might be something I poo-poo as “not much different from “Crystal Lite” in terms of taste. While it is along those lines in terms of taste, one thing it does in an absolutely fabulous way is lend itself to the addition of fruit and sparkling mineral water for a refreshing protein meal with fizz!

This is a great idea for the bariatrics as well as the rest of us that might want a delish, super-fast, protein pick-me-up without a lot of calories.

I like to call this drink, Hot August Strawberry! Here is the simple recipe, it is less than 3 minutes to prepare.

How am I doing? Thanks for asking!

Someone sent a really nice email today asking me how I was doing! Well, I think I’m doing ok and although it has been super-slow, I am still losing weight.

Here’s a bit of a run-down. Earlier this year I went mostly raw. Then I burned out for about a week or two and couldn’t look at anything not cooked. lol. Now I’m on cruise control on 900-1000 calories a day with highly concentrated raw foods included, but not the whole shebang for now. It must be some weird brain fart I’m having. My digestive problems like reflux have all but gone away doing at least half raw vegan and cultured foods like kefir and kombucha.

Discovering Your Personal Tools

On of my favorite personal tools is the kefir smoothie with frozen fruit. This simulates ice-cream in a very satisfying way; I think part of that may be the yeast in the kefir which lends a kind of “richness” to the flavor and feel.

What are your favorite personal tools to stay on the path to weight loss?
