Fiber!!

So I just bought some Psyllium Fiber from a health food store, I hear it's a great way to get your extra fiber!

I bought just a plain bag of it not the same brand but looks like this:

It costed $12.99 I got the crushed up kind.  I was told to put 1 Tbsp in a small glass of skim milk mix it around and gulp it down.

Well because I'm so crafty I decided to add it to my protein shake. I don't reccomend this.....

The taste wasn't bad but it made my protein shake SO FROTHY I couldn't finish it.... So I think its better to just gulp it down and get it over with and enjoy your protein shakes......

BENEFITS OF PSYLLIUM FIBER:

Whole natural psyllium is one of the best dietary fibers known to man and is primarily used as a gentle intestinal cleanser. Psyllium consists of husks and seeds which act as a sponge in the intestinal tract and swell as they absorb water, toxins and waste material. This forms a soft, bulky stool that passes through the colon quickly and evacuates more smoothly and easily.

DONT BE AFRAID!

Psyllium fiber is not a laxative, you won't run to the bathroom and be in fear you won't make it, it's just an aid to help you more regular, gets rid of toxins, cleans out your system, and give you those good poops! :)

Other products like Metamucil I hear are great but I thought you might as well get the basics it's a little cheaper too.  Unless of course taste is an issue for you I suggest getting a flavoured Metamucil tub or those little Fiber-To-Go's, they are absolutley tasteless and they dissapear in your water- or whatever you put it in.  Theyre actually pretty sweet, but a little more expensive.

MASTER CLEANSE

Has anyone tried it? Recommend it?

Here's the recipe:

Mmm Looks yummy....-_-

Here's some info I got from some websites: "Follow the Cleanse Recipe for a minimum of 10 days or more—up to 40 days and beyond may be safely followed for extremely serious cases."

"The diet has all the nutrition needed during this time. Three to four times a year will do wonders for keeping the body in a normal healthy conditions. The program may be undertaken more frequently for serious conditions."

It would be hard but apparently you are supposed to do it until everything comes out clear (pee and other hole) :O yikes!  I have a feeling it wouldn't really cure the hunger... but it's obviously been done!

Though I've never tried it, I also have heard some negative things.... one thing i'm nervous about is that your body gets use to the liquid diet but as soon as you start eating solids again your body stores it to fat because it doesn't know when the next meal will be... thats why when you have 5-6 small meals everyday your body stops storing fat because it knows it will get a meal soon. 

Has anyone heard of this?  Thoughts?
