That Cold!

is back ... extra Vitamin C (1000-1500 mg a day instead of 500) and b12 in the morning seems to be helping.

Were I in better shape (it's the Holidays, I've not been exercising as much), I'd be fighting this with more force.

But the vitamins, I believe, are helping.

Cinnamon!

It fights fat and helps your body work better!

I just like it -- and it's great with coffee, on sweet potatoes, in oatmeal.

who knew that a bit of cinnamon could make you leaner?

It's winter ...

and that means Vitamin C

On Sunday, I noticed an irritation in my throat -- indicative of a cold to come. So, I upped my Vitamin C intake. Typically, I take a 500mg chewable every night. But On Sunday and Monday, I took one after lunch plus the night-time.

Today is Tuesday. The irritation is gone. No sign of an impending cold.

Vitamin C seems to be a helpful immune booster if you use it early enough.

Enhance with Cayenne?

well, come to find out, Cayenne Fruit is an ingredient in several male "enhancement" products. I'm guessing this is because of its metabolic enhancing qualities -- that is, it gives you energy. Also, the "heat" may stimulate blood flow and blood flow is critical. Just be careful of the stomach upset... that "enhancement" won't do you much good if you are sitting on the toilet.

Cayenne Fruit

YES...it works... small doses, though. unless you like stomach discomfort.

But you can lose a small amount by using this spice wisely!

cayenne fruit and weight loss

Well, my personal experience is that cayenne works!

I took 1 40,000 STU pill with each of three meals on both a Saturday and Sunday.

didn't do anything else differently -- that is, I consumed the same # of calories as I typically do on a weekend and exercised as normal (light house cleaning on Saturday, three mile run on Sunday).

Monday morning I was down 2 pounds from my weigh-in on Friday morning.

I will also say this: I did notice an increase in my need to have bowel movements. They weren't bad or anything, just more of them (3 in a day compared with a normal 1).

But, the treatment worked. My personal recommendation would be not to use this method for long-term treatment ...but for short-term weight maintenance or when you need/want to boost your loss a bit over a short time.

I've been maintaining at 178 since I lost those 2 pounds in 2 days.
