"Wonder Water"

Well, to follow up with what the Health Food Store Nutritionist said..... Distilled water is good for you because it will help clean your system. So, yes, it is good for you; however, you don't drink this all the time.. like forever! Between the water and the ginger root (which I did get at the health food store, and it cost me $12 for 1 fluid ounce, which goes a long way) it grabs on to the bad stuff as it goes through your system and gets rid of it. Now she did say to try it for 6 weeks and then check back with her. After the initial cleansing (6 weeks), it is OK to drink distilled water, with this recipe, to clean your system, but just every once in a while. I do believe that it is good in helping to lose weight, and as far as a ploy, I have always heard that adding lemon and cajun pepper to water was a good supplement to losing weight. You can add it to regular water afterwards.

Now, for the peanut butter balls. This is a "higher calorie" breakfast meal, but I have made them for my breakfast this week and I really do like them. The nutritionist explained that my regular "Nature Valley Trail Mix" bar was very high in sugar and that even though it was low in calories, I was not getting the nutrition and the sugars was defeating my purpose. So, all of this is organic and from the health food store, and it can be expensive - but will make alot and you can use some of the stuff in almost anything to get your protein, bran, and fiber. I bought organic peanut butter (I enjoy the crunchy peanut butter), Nutivia Shelled Hempseed (excellent protein), Arrowhead Mills Organic Oat Bran, Hot Cereal (good in fiber, protein and iron), Agave Nectar (for sweetness). I just put the peanut butter in a bowl, however much or many you want to fix, add the oat bran and hempseed (and how much is up to you, depends on if you want a lot, or a little) and then your honey for sweetness. Mix it all together, and then roll them into balls, for a bite size snack. I suggest that you put them in the fridge to chill, and then they are ready to go! Also, you can put in the bottom of a pan, and bake. I havnt done this, so don't know how long or how many degrees; but the nutritionist said they make great peanut butter bars. They taste like peanut butter cookie dough! I realize that it may cost for these ingredients, but the hempseed, I can add on my salads or actually to anything! And the Oat Bran, I can have for breakfast, or you can add the flakes to your pancakes, or banana bread, or muffins. And of course the honey, people use it for a lot of things.

Thanks for the comment on the music! I used to DJ (for around 10 years), and absolutely love music! Was asked to DJ a wedding this fall and accepted! It will be fun!
