Are you sick and tired of being overweight? Are you always tired, have no energy? Do you believe you still have a metabolism?
As we age, our metabolism slows down and we seem to add a few extra pounds of fat every year. We eat less but seem to keep packing it on. Now I have 40 pounds of fat to get rid of! How the time flies!
Here is my personal story that I would like to share with you and how I am on my way to recovery and fight the battle of bulge!
I am a coffee drinker. I have a great coffee machine and I like to drink caffeine. I usually have 2 cups a day and sometimes three if I happen to drop over at a friend’s house. I never really liked tea. I tried tea, flavoured, green, whatever kind but to me drinking tea is quite useless compared to the taste of coffee. I think of drinking hot dish water when I think of tea. The reason I am talking about this is because although I do not like tea, I found lemongrass.
I bit the bullet and joined U-Weight Loss. It’s expensive but knowing that I paid a lot of money for it, I would stick to it. Losing that money is definitely something that motivates me to stay on track.
They tell me that the first week I was to detoxify. No coffee, booze, pop, fruit juice, etc. How will I cope without my morning coffee? I pulled out all those green and flavoured tea that I have stored in my cupboard. Why I bought those, I will never know. I tried a whole bunch and did not enjoy any.
Then I remembered that I have frozen lemongrass stalks in the freezer, why couldn’t I try to make a hot beverage with that? I had asked my friend to buy some at the grocery store that was about a 45 minute drive from here because lemongrass was not available in any of the supermarkets where I live and no ethnic stores(very few here) had any.
Lemongrass is known to detoxify the body. It cleanses your organs like the liver and kidneys. Knowing that I like my alcoholic beverages, it would be a great product to use to detoxify myself.
So I brewed up a batch and now I love it! It has a lot more flavour than the teas I tried before and I don’t even have to put sweetener in it which I always add.
