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?
I’ll tell you right now. I’ll try ANYTHING at least once. The only thing I won’t bother with are “miracle diet pills” or pharmaceuticals or scammy “lose weight fast” diets and so on.
But by golly, if you have a product or service or recipe or method that makes some sense, I’ll try it! This is how I discovered kefir and kombucha and added them to my tool kit. They were both such an integral part of helping to heal my digestive system; people, probiotics, fresh, delicious probiotics are fantastic for your body and I pound my body with them everyday. These simple cultured foods have been relief beyond relief.  I used to take Priolosec everyday, at the most now, 3-4 times a month, and ONLY after something oily, and not always after something oily, no not at all… and not after alcohol either.
I’m not a doctor, but, if I had to bet on it, I would say every person out there with obesity problems has digestive diseases and syndromes. IBS, reflux, etc. Â The first order of business, I think, should be to get your digestive system healthy for a couple of months, even before cutting calories and really dropping the weight. I’m glad I’ve had these two wonderful foods in my toolbox to start this journey.
