Aztec Style Hot Chocolate for Two
2 cups 0rganic Plain or Vanilla Soy Milk
1/8 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper corns
1/8 tsp vanilla
2 ounces of high cocoa content dark chocolate * OR
2 tbsp of pure
cocoa powder
The first five ingredients are the basic Aztec recipe with Soy Milk
substituted for water. If you want to
add a little more zip or spice,
try adding the following three as well.
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground ginger
This is a recipe for two, so just cut the
ingredients in half when making only one cup.
Slowly warm the soy milk over medium heat, add each of the spices,
adding the chocolate last and mixing well. Heat until the mixture begins
to steam, pour into mugs and enjoy.
Experiment with the spices and quantities of spices you add because you
may prefer just the first three, or more chili, or less cinnamon, or no
ginger. Find the mix you like.
Deliciously healthy and very high in antioxidants!
[You can make this delicious and healthy hot cocoa for
two without the extra calories contained in real chocolate when you make
it with real, pure cocoa powder and
2-tsp of organic brown cane sugar for excellent results without most of
the calories. (1 tbsp cocoa = 13 calories; 1 tsp pure cane sugar = 12
calories; 1 cup vanilla soy mild = 90 calories.)
[*Or, if you're not concerned about the extra calories, use dark chocolate containing 70% cocoa content or more.
Two Dove Dark Chocolate Promise chocolates work well and are higher in
antioxidants content than any dark chocolate, because they contain
Cocoapro cocoa, a proprietary, specially processed cocoa that contains
super high levels of antioxidants.]

Heart
Association 7-Day
Eating Plan
This diet plan was originally designed for
overweight heart patients who needed to lose weight quickly before surgery and
if you don't cheat, at the end of seven days you will have lost an amazing 10 to
17 pounds.
| DAY 1:
All fruits, except bananas. Eat all the fresh fruit you
want, cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits.
Today eat only fruit and soup.
DAY 2:
Eat raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Eat green leafy
veggies and stay away from peas, beans and corn. Eat all the
veggies you want, along with the soup. At dinner reward yourself with a
baked potato. Absolutely NO butter. No fruit.
DAY 3:
Mix Day 1 and Day 2 together. Eat all the fruit and veggies you
want, along with the soup. No baked potato today.
DAY 4:
Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as many
glasses of skim milk, along with your soup. Your body will need the
potassium, protein and calcium to lessen cravings for sweets. You can
make banana milkshakes by using frozen bananas blended with the skim
milk.
DAY 5:
Beef and tomatoes today. Eat 10-20 ounces of beef and up to 6
fresh tomatoes. Drink 5 to 8 glasses of water to wash the uric acid from
your body. Eat soup at least once today.
DAY 6:
Beef and veggies today. Eat to your heart's content of beef and
veggies today. You can have 2 or 3 steaks as long as you eat green,
leafy veggies with them. No baked potato. Eat soup at least once
today.
DAY 7:
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and veggies today. Stuff
yourself. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today. |
|
At the end of your seven days, if you haven't
cheated, you will have lost 10 to 17 pounds. I've used this plan several times
myself and it really works. If you've lost more than 15 pounds, go off the
eating plan for two to three days before going back on it again.
This seven day eating plan can be used as often
as you like. Correctly followed, it will clean your system of impurities and
give you a feeling of well-being like never before.
After only a few days of this eating plan, you
will begin to feel lighter and have an abundance of energy. Continue this plan
as long as you wish to feel the difference.
This is a fast fat burning diet and the secret is
that you'll burn more calories than you take in.
This eating plan does NOT lend itself to drinking
alcoholic beverages. Because of the removal of fat buildup in your system, go
off the diet for at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.
Because everyone's digestive system is different, this
diet will affect everyone differently. After Day 3, you will have more energy,
if you do not cheat. If after being on the eating plan several days, you find
your bowel movements have changed, eat one cup of bran and fiber.
Although you can have sugarless black coffee with this
diet, you may find you won't want the caffeine after the 3rd day. Here's the
soup recipe that goes along with this fat burning eating plan.
|
Fat
Burning Soup
6 large green onions
2 large green peppers
1 28-oz tin diced tomatoes
1 bunch of celery
2 bouillon cubes
Salt, pepper, thyme, basil, etc.
Cut the vegetables into
small to medium pieces and cover with 6 cups of water. Mix in the
bouillon cubes, spices and herbs. Boil fast for 10 minutes.
Eat as much of this soup as
you want, whenever you want, at any time of the day. This soup will not
add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. Drink sugarless
tea, coffee, cranberry/grape juice, or water.
You won't have difficulty
eating lots of this healthy soup because it tastes great!
