I have not had a sinus infection in 12 months and my IBS problems disappeared. No more allergy related eczema. And I lost weight (of course now gained being pregnant, but I'm smaller than I was with either of my previous pregnancies!). Feel free to ask me any questions. I highly encourage all of my friends to check out Maria's books and websites if you are serious about getting healthy!"
For every molecule of sugar we ingest, our bodies uses 54 molecules of magnesium to process it! No matter where the carbohydrates come from; 4 grams of carbohydrates equal one teaspoon of sugar in our body. Let me say that again?4 grams of carbohydrates equal 1 teaspoon of sugar in our body. So with that thought, a small Blizzard has 530 calories and 83 grams of carbohydrates; which equals 21 teaspoons of sugar. A nine ounce bag of potato chips equals 32 teaspoons of sugar?add a soda, that?s another 16 teaspoons of sugar.
Are your kids having a hard time falling asleep? Most people are deficient in magnesium, including children. A magnesium deficiency can have serious consequences, including low serotonin. Magnesium and serotonin don?t just help to regulate your mood, they also can affect your physiology in many ways. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that sends signals of satiety, satisfaction and relaxation. It also regulates our appetite and influences sleep cycles; if serotonin is low, melatonin will be low. So low magnesium can lead to over-eating, depression, insomnia and other serious issues including migraine headaches. Find more fun facts like this in my kids color cookbook. Click HERE to find.
I was just reading through my Famous Dave's cookbook and saw the Indian Fry Bread! I thought, I must try this one!
Coconut oil/butter/ghee for frying
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup vanilla egg white or whey protein
1 tsp vanilla extract (or other extract: almond, coconut, maple)
1/4 cup cinnamon
3 TBS Swerve (or erythritol)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
Separate the eggs (save the yolks for a different recipe), and whip the whites in a clean, dry, cool bowl for a few minutes until VERY stiff). Blend in the whey protein and extract.
Heat the oil in a fry pan on medium high until a drop of water will sizzle. Once it is hot, place a circle of dough on the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and place on a plate. Sprinkle with cinnamon and Swerve. Enjoy! Makes 6 servings.
NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON (per serving)
Traditional Fry Bread = 217 calories, 32 carbs, 0 fiber
"Healthified" Fry Bread = 168 calories, 0.8 carbs, 0 fiber
*Note: The calorie count is for 1 TBS of oil absorbed into the dough.
