My Before and After and My Testimony

Hi - My name is Julie and I am 54 years old.  I have never really had a weight problem until I was in my late 40's.  It was then that I had abdominal surgery and had to have a total hysterectomy.
This put me into what is called surgical menopause and my body started to fall apart!  I was not only gaining weight - but losing muscle.  Over the next few years I gained 20+ pounds and felt awful without changing my eating habits at all!

I tried Nutri System, The Atkins Diet, The Suzanne Summers Diet, Plexis, and Weight Watchers.  I did lose some weight on some of these programs but NEVER got down to my goal weight and was NEVER able to keep it off.  I expressed my frustration to my Physicians Assistant and she just told me to give up because I was now over 50.

A year later a friend tried Nutritional Cleansing and after 2 weeks I could see the weight she had lost and after 3 weeks I could see a remarkable difference in her skin!  "Sign me up", I thought - "I don't care if I have to drink dirty fish water, I am doing this!"

I lost 15 pounds my first month and continued to lose - even getting below my target goal weight the next month!!  I weighed less than I did in high school!!  I felt so much better.  I had a whole new wardrobe in my own closet.

That was 2 years ago and I am thrilled to say that I have kept the weight off.  I love the life God has given me and I want to honor Him by taking care of my body and getting as much out of this life as I can!!

Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 for a light dinner

What You Need

Ingredients

Soup Ingredients
4 cups (32 ounces) chicken or vegetable stock or broth
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
2 to 4 large eggs
Salt or soy sauce

Flavoring Extras (use one or all)
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into rounds
1 stem lemongrass, bruised
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
2 star anise
6 to 8 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons miso

Soup Extras (use one or all)
1/2 block (7 to 8 ounces) extra-firm tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 bunch baby bok choy, thinly sliced
4 spring onions, thinly sliced

Equipment

Medium saucepan
Measuring cups and spoons

1. Warm the stock or broth: Pour the stock into a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Put the smaller flavoring extras you're using into a tea ball or spice bag. Add all your flavoring extras to the saucepan with the stock. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Scoop out all the flavoring extras with a slotted spoon. Taste and add salt or soy sauce as needed.
2. Add any extra ingredients: Add any soup extras to the stock and simmer for five minutes. Save some scallions for sprinkling on top of the soup at the end.
3. Whisk cornstarch into the broth: Scoop out 1/4 cup or so of the stock and whisk it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk this back into the stock and let it simmer for a minute or two until the broth no longer tastes starchy.
4. Whisk the eggs with cornstarch: Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl with the remaining teaspoon of cornstarch. Make sure your soup is at a bare simmer.
5. Drizzle the eggs into the hot broth: Holding a fork over the bowl, pour the eggs slowly through the tines. Whisk the broth gently with your other hand as you pour. Let the soup stand for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs.
6. Serve immediately, topped with thinly sliced scallions.

So What's the Story Behind Drinking All the Water?

ONE GALLON A DAY.....really?  Scroll down and read why!

Why this emphasis on water?  It is NOT because water will fill you up and make you less hungry!  The purpose of water in Nutritional Cleansing is to kep your blood at its proper concentration and PH.  Without proper hydration, waste products (ketones) build in the blood, changing its PH to become more acidic.  Your brain will detect the change in the PH and purposely slow fat burning in an effect to help neutralize the blood.  Plain and simple - DRINK WATER AND LOSE MORE FAT!

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

Marinade/Dressing:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 100ml (just over ⅓ cup) freshly squeezed lime juice

Produce

• 2 cups Broccoli florets

Condiments

• 1 Cauliflower alfredo sauce **recipe to follow**

Pasta & Grains

• 16 oz Spinach pasta, or zucchini noodles

Baking & Spices 

Salt & Pepper

Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
Total Time:45 min
Prep:10 min
Cook:35 min
Yield:6 servings
Level:Easy

Ingredients
Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 cups cauliflower florets
1 pound zucchini or spinach noodles
1 cup Almond milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, lightly smashed
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
Olive oil, for searing the shrimp
15 to 20 peeled medium shrimp
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 

Add the cauliflower and cook at a low boil until very tender, about 20 minutes. 

Remove the cauliflower with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain in a colander. 
In a blender, combine the cauliflower with the milk and puree until smooth.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the butter and garlic until the butter melts. Add the cauliflower puree and cook for 2 minutes. 

Remove the garlic. 

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. 

Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan.
Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat and add some olive oil. 

Sear the shrimp briefly on both sides until just cooked through.


Even though this recipe calls for Parmesan cheese, I am going to call this a clean Isagenix recipe if you use Zucchini noodles! 

Mini Mug Chocolate Cake

Okay - so the first time I tried this it was HORRIBLE.  It was dry, bland and made me sad that I wasted some of my shake mix on it - BUT - I decided to give it another try and tweek some of the ingredients and cooking time.

First - every microwave is different. (notice how they do not tell you how long to nuke it?)  I went for 90 seconds and it had the consistency of really dry stale french bread!  The next time, I went for 70 seconds and it was much better.  The third time - I cooked it for 65 seconds and I believe it had a bit more batter because of what I chose to add to it and to me - it was perfect....so test out your microwave and see what works best for you.

The recipe - as stated in the picture is just not tasty enough for me.  I found that by adding 1/8 tsp of salt, 2 packets of Stevia and then some more flavoring worked.  I love cinnamon - so 1 full Tablespoon of that went into the recipe and I also liked putting in 1 Tablespoon of PB2 (powdered peanut butter)  After it is cooked, I sprinkle 1/2 packet of Stevia over the top and just a pinch more salt.  I was really happy with this. 

Other options:

1.  Use small amount of chopped nuts, 

2.  Use other favorite spices, 

3.  Using only chocolate shake mix instead of mixing chocolate and vanilla

This can work in many ways.  As the recipe is, it can be an alternative to a morning or afternoon shake.  Cut the shake mix amount in half and you can use this as a snack.  I found it to be very filling and satisfying
